My new toy (pocket bike)
Baja Wes - April 29th, 2007 at 07:20 PM

I bought myself a new toy, cheap but fun. The Staffy corners better, and accelerates faster, but the pocket bike stops quicker (hydraulic disc brakes front and rear) and has a better top speed (55kph apparently) :)

Lucky my parents and their neighbour have really long bitumen driveways to play on (they live on 5 acres).

is this a 49cc model?

how much did u pay wes? im thinking ebay?


Baja Wes - May 1st, 2007 at 05:32 PM

Yep, 49cc of raw power.

Ebay, $145 + $60 postage. If your patient you can get the bike for closer to $110 + postage, but I wanted this particular colour and sticker kit bike. :)
