Easy to ride but dosent turn realy sharp but you juist lean back a little and turn it round yourself its soo light lol um gose 55ks for real not 80k like they all say but at full speed you feel like your doing 100 lol as for comfort its ok just sit kinda on the tank other wise your nuts will be against the side of the tank which can sometimes hurt if you hit a bump but you get the hang of sitting on it fairly comfy.
They look hard to ride cos your arms are near you kneeds but they arent and you can rest your arms on your knees when you ride they agreat fun but im selling to buy a thumper which is a 110cc mini bike with bmx handlebars and suspention for adults and 110cc insted of 50cc. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

I just had a thought i think the pocket bike box sed its weighs 23kgs and 20kgs is the max weight they post at the cost of $19 to nsw plus $5 for packaging so if i manage to weigh the bike i may be able to take the wheels of and put em in a separet box and post it up in two boxes for about $30 in that case i would sell it to you for $250 plus postage and all youd have to do is put the wheels back on. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.

Not to discourage you andrew, but those so called "pocket bikes" are very small (well the ones i've seen are), and are therefor pretty dangerous. Not that i'm saying you shouldn't buy it
(i'd like one), but i've got afew friends with them, and they've injured themselfs a fair bit. It looks like a high quality one though, some of ebay are CRAP! Oh, did i mention they're now ILLEGAL TOO?! Same with scooters over 200w (200w = GAY) _________________ ( •_•)

Like to see ne of them catch me on foot since they cant drive everywhere . _________________ Andrew Welch, Team Unconventional Robotics

Yeah actualy there's a nice loophole in the law allowing you to use them on private property. Find a friend who owns some empty land! _________________ ( •_•)
that's not a loophole - you're allowed to do pretty much whatever you want on private land (with the consent of the owner).
You're just not allowed to use them in public areas, because they don't meet the requirements for registration as a vehicle, and they don't meet the requirements of a non registered vehicle for use in public areas. _________________ The Engine Whisperer

Just thought id add to you can have them in public if your not riding them so if you want to wheel it down the road to a mates place you can there not ilegal as in if you were carrying drugs or whatever they are ilegal to ride in public not ilegal in them selves like if the cops know you have one they will take it away. _________________ Tim Team Reaper.
