Ebay bike

im after a cheap new cag, last one i got about 5 years ago was from ebay and it was grate! but just unsure about the ones on ebay now. the ones im looking at are from the seller: boxer2765 heres a link NEW Mini Pocket Racing Bike 49cc ATV2 Kids Pee Wee Dirt Bike | eBay looks like a normal cag but there are a few things im warryed about. it says it has Spring Shock Absorber Front/Rear? im not sure if its just a miss print or not but dont they normely come without that? and it allso says its a Engine 49cc/47cc, and from my memory the ones that where 47cc where achely 40cc. if anyone can give us a hand that would be grate thanks

Mortys right the newer model 2010, 11 are even worse in terms of quality than the older chinese pocket bikes which were themselves pretty crap. I'd suggest getting an older cag off ebay if you're looking for something really cheap. Or if you're willing to spend around $300 grab a water-cooled blata or polini rep in great condition off ebay. Theres one on ebay now going at that price, in syd i think.

Sure do. Yes some of the newer cags they've been putting out come with crappy shocks. For racing they won't let you enter with shocks, so if you were thinking about that go no shocks. Either way you'd have to replace them before very long anyway. If you are looking for a bike in sydney I can help you out either finding one worth buying or fixing one up.

Shockys !!!!!!!

Hi if you want to ride a bike dont bother with e/bay. You are in Bris go and talk to Morty or come out to Archerfield and talk to people that have gone down your road. Seriously dont go through all the heart ake.It will only put you off pocketbikes. Bill
