What do you think? Look durable enough to stunt?

Great if you're four ft tall. The MX style bike in Lee's pic is loads better - less kneecap/handlebar pain. The roadster doesnt look too crash resistant either, those pipes and tail unit will be destroyed without a mini scrape bar.
Thumpstar 110 all the way!

It looks like a cheaply made chinese piece of ****. If you can get it for $250 or under, go for it. If not, save up for something better, like a 50.

Re: Does this look like a decent pocketbike?

I think this would be considered a "midi-bike" . The bike's height is taller than a pocket bike . (A Blata 2.5 has 4 inch wheels . This bike has 10's)

It is actually looks like a very nice one . Hydro. disc brakes , 110cc four stroke , 4 speed manual , electric start , front oil shocks , metal handle-bar levers , all lights , (supposedly street legal , but i doubt it) , aluminum pimp lookin wheels , and what looks to be a digital odometer and indicators that tell you what gear your in . Looks like it is very fast from the video .

The best part is that it does 60+ mph :YEAH


The price says $729 + free shipping

But if you click on the First picture of the bike where it says "Suspension" , a window will open up explaining the suspension . In that window it also says that it is now only $679 + free shipping . So if you call , tell them this and you might save $50 .

The red one looks like a Honda



This is my cheapy

Re: Does this look like a decent pocketbike?

Looks pretty nice.
There is NO way it does anywhere near 60 as it claims.

I can see the motor is some type of Lifan (I assume its a 110)

The fastest stock lifan can do 45 or so.

Re: Does this look like a decent pocketbike?

I wouldnt matter what he says (ill go watch it)

Anyhow..the motor would be worth $1500+ if it did 60mph

I got about $1600 into my 50 motor and it hit 57

It's just not possible man.

Re: Does this look like a decent pocketbike?

Here's a link that was posted in the pocketbike forum . The article might be old

But it tells a little more about the bike .

https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/sho...69&postcount=5





It says this :

"Complete upgraded bikes have been clocked at 115mph!" :YEAH

Glad I've provided useful information and someone quoted me on it! If I was to get any non-European bike I'd choose the X-18. However don't count on breaking 60 MPH, chances are it would only go 50+ MPH after being broken in (stock).

Re: Does this look like a decent pocketbike?

Hey guys. I was looking at getting one of those and I was doing my homework on pocketbike planet. This is actually a VERY nice machine. Its supposed to be pretty fast, but it does not go 60 mph. They stole that video from a member on PBP, and he had some exhaust mods and regearing done to the bike.. also notice how long it took the bike to get up to 60 mph?? I wish i could have a bike like that though it looks awesome. I hate my POS cag bike it sucks *****.
