Talking Hey Hey, New, Could use some help identifying

Hey guys

I'm New to the pocket bike thing so not a great deal of knowledge about them yet.

First of all i was always planning on getting one, just never got around to it. But my parents mates offered me 3 second hand/oldish pocket bikes/thumpsters.

There larger than pocket bikes, so I'm not quite sure what category they go under.
There oldish, but 3 free bikes, so i couldn't complain.

However i went over the bikes to find out who manufactured them, without any luck i took some pics and I'm hoping you guys could help me with where they came from.

I can get more images if you need them. i think Ive attached the images right...

Cheers
Alex

In Victoria,

Its going to take some fiddling to get them going. carbies on all 3 need a good clean.

These have an electric start, would it matter so much if i pull the batteries and just use the kick start?

Cheers
Alex

HaHa! Go tha Thumpstars! Almost all of these Chinese Thumpstars are 125s or 110s.... As for the make and model I have no idea.... never seen a 'road oriented' one, it could be a Atomic or a LEM.... but I have no idea.... hang on to them they look epic!

Has it got the 4 speed gearbox (1 down, three up)? Take a pic of the other side of the bike....

Odd! never seen a mid bike like that, however the front end + Dash is from an X9 midbike.

In any case its rather irrellevant what they are, cause they all use the same parts and if theres anything specific to that model its almost impossible to get the bits (speaking from experience with an X9).

Most of the pitbike/midbike gear on ebay will fit.

What size engine is on it anyway? its stamped on the barrel if its 125 it could be a bit of fun.

And hey everyone, long time no see/speak XD

1 going

After a good carby clean, and a few other odds and ends, the first one is working. Still needs some cleaning up, but it seems to be running ok.

Now onto the second one
