A quick note for those who still enjoy buying bikes from Ebay.
The seller ebusiness_supplies should be dealt with cautiously.
They have been selling 40.2cc bikes as 49cc bikes for a long time now.
They say they didnt know. Highly unlikely.
If you have bought a bike from this seller in the last 12-18 months, talk to somebody in regards to whether you have purchased a smaller than advertised bike. Under law, you are entitled to a full refund or to get what you paid for.
I have not checked their new range of bikes, though it is quite likely these are also 40.2cc bikes.
Be aware that the vast majority of bike sellers on ebay know nothing of the machines they sell, and most are selling only 40.2cc bikes as 49cc.
We are continuing to weed out these sellers, and will continue to advise the forums as to what bikes are what.
Ebay bikes are what they are. All businesses in here will agree, that these bikes are hardly safe from the box, and require work to make them raceable. They are almost never capable of the speeds advertised.
Please keep this in mind when you read the exaggerated claims made in these ads.
Yeah the deal with that scottie, is that they are getting another shipment of bikes in then. After the crap I've caused them, they've started offering everybody replacements in october.
By the time October comes around, I doubt if they'll have anymore bikes to sell.
This has been my pet project for the last 3 months. I've nearly succeeded in what I set out to do. Shut them down, or prevent them from falsely advertising their bikes.
I have already stopped them advertising one particular style of bike.
We need more people to come forward and have a go at them for it to work.
Ebay is a great place to sell and buy, but there is too much crap being sold. It has to be stopped.
when buying a p/bike from a person you don,t know and you want to be sure the bike is a 49cc and not a 40cc, ask the seller this question; can you tell me if there is a small lug set into the head fins on the left side of the engine near the spark plug. if there is a lug it is a 40cc
