Anyone have a Midi Bike?

[SuperWagon502]

I'm lookin for some pics cause I've been (lurk) with friends and Ebay searches about em. I want to try to get one from E-Bay but I dont trust some of the seller's.

I was hoping i could see some of yours and see what I want. I might end up buying from a dealer so if you could give me a ballpark figure of how much you paid, and possibly a pic of somthin to show relevant size of the bike. Like in front of your Car!

I'm hoping to get a Midi that is small enough to fit inside my P5 trunk with one seat down, but big enough to be comfortable on. Im Only 5' 10 /5' 11 and weigh a scant 160 lbs.

THanks

I got a tiny ass one form www.lucky7pocketbikes.com I bought 4 at once and paid 300 each for them I think. Pretty good. All of them have quality issues unless you spend a lot and get the "real deal" If you are handy then you just fix them as stuff breaks and it will be fine.

For some reason 2 of the bikes needed new fuel filters because they broke and gas pissed out everywhere. Good thing is you can go to the hardware store and get engine parts pretty easy. My buddy runs a briggs & stratton fuel filter and it made his considerably faster.

i had one, the majority of them are pieces of s*** from china.
nwminimoto sells a few asian models that you can buy already built.
Also make sure you get a CAG or another 47cc bike. The mid bikes weigh nearly triple and accelerate slower than no other.

hehe yes, was great fun...before it fell apart

They rattle themselves to pieces. The vibrations cause bolts to come loose. When it shows up from the factory half of the bolts are loose. I tighten bolts as I notice them coming loose but they should probably be put on with some Loc-Tite or something.

The motor runs well and they look good but the hardware they use is cheap. Bolts shear off easily when over tightened, bend, etc. etc.
Replace stuff as you go and it should last for quite a while.

I bought one of the 49cc bikes on ebay. They may be heavier but they must be built better. I've driven it quite a lot on gravel and never had any bolts come loose.

Plus because they are bad old weedeater/chainsaw motors there is room on the larger 49cc bikes to mount a real 50cc motorcylce engine. This is my winter project possibly.

I'll look for my pics...

Any help on the CAG website? im having no luck with google at all

Don't get the 47cc, they're slow 'cause they're so heavy(actually 47cc is heavier than the 49cc...)... I'm ok with my china pocket bike. You get what u pay. You can pay over 3000 for a "High quarlity" one(jerkit)

Dude...these are much more fun and can be rode off-road as well...It's a no brainer.

For pavement...just change the tires.

Modifying them can get a little out of hand...
