| This is sure something to be mindful of, people.
Pocket bike racing will certainly grow, but I think that the safety standards are a major factor with Ebay bikes.
There are several reputable suppliers that offer a safety compliance certificate when they sell you a bike. I think that this certificate will become a real requirement as pocket bike racing grows.
To all those reading this in Victoria, I don't think it is unreasonable as a customer to request (in writing) that the bike you are purchasing meets the Consumer and Business Affairs safety standards. Make sure you request this prior to bidding on any bike on Ebay. If they won't provide it to you, then don't buy it! |
