CurtisRider Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 alright there, in a few weeks i was thinking of getting myself a mini moto to mess about on, i was gonna use ebay but the trouble is-i dont know which ones are good? i dont really wanna spend a great deal, but i dont exactly want some wank that falls apart..... wouldnt mind one that suitable for taking over a few little jumps cos it looks pretty fun <_< so anyway, what have your experiences been with them? anything i should know? cheers, paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 some guy was run over and killed on one a few days ago. sorry to be negative but i just wouldn't bother, all the ones i've had a go on/know of, have broken in some way, and the novelty soon wears off.

Ben Geary Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Yeh mini moto's, go peds, x sports all that crap they allways break and are not worth the money. Save the money to get something on your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 They always seem like an incredibly expensive way to have fun for half an hour. Plus the only people that have them around here are scallies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-RoBBo- Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Everyone seems to be getting boring <_< would you rather have one, ready to play on... or not have one? I think they are fun. Wish i had one. Only live once don't you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Nope they aint worth the money as police are taking them off people all the time now. I say save the money and spend it on something worth while, but not something on your bike as it's probs good enough. Hoot <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I think they look fun, but I wouldn't have thought any of them will withstand jumps, none of the ones I've seen will, although you can get mini scrambler ones. If you want to do jumps on a motorbike, bset to get a small crosser or similar, much stronger, and probably faster. Best ones to get IMO are the superbike replica ones, you can pick them up cheap on ebay (£100-200), and they are often upgradable with new filters, sprockets, leads, etc. Even nitrous kits. hey look like great fun in an empty car park or similar if there is one near you, especially if a couple of you get them.

JTM Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 A mate of mine is selling his. Hes a mechanic so its been looked after/bedded in properly etc. Its a black superbike styled one and its good for 35mph but feels waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster. They are alot of fun especially in car parks with lots of curb islands etc. Its in really good nick and has just had a new front wheel bearings and something else which i cant remmeber. His name is Josh_trials on here but he doesnt use it much. Think he wants £110 plus postage or pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Frienda brother has one, there crap, make a crap, anoying noise like a moped. Steer cleartere a loadof poo, buy a bleading car or a proper motorbike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 firstly ill make it clear, i will only use this on private land, i have a farm so i have plenty of space and lots of trails <_< i still have my lil scrambler and was half tempted to fix it, but i figured a change would be cool the idea was to buy it mainy for when people come over, its always fun when we can get field cars, mopeds, go karts or whatever out and rag them around in the summer, and i kinda figured a mini moto(scrambler cos a road one would be useless where i live) would be a nice addition (im not a spoilt tosser-ive bought all this stuff myself) anyway in way are they shit? mechanically are they robust enough? can you upgrade certain models? cheers, paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsking 55 Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 the parts are cheap and tacky - thus f**k up preety soon, they really don't have that much power. although 110cc-125cc 4-stroke pitbikes are where its at :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Got my ped for £180 take a drill to it and remove a hiddern clip and is so much more fun that a mini moto endos, wheelies, speed, tricks being a compleate wanker, far more fun off road, and the novelty goes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koxx-boxx Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Well to be onist with you mate, mini motos are not crap its just the way people look after them, Yes you can get crap mini motos but you can also get cheap ok mini motos, as long as you run it in properly and put thread tight on the nuts and all the stuff that rattles loose they are good fun, As long as you run it in properly it will go pretty fast. But if you want to do jumps and go on a field your best bet is a x-sport bike they are 110cc and have 4 gears, They are used for dirt jump the lot they are built to last, On ebay search for a thumpster :angry:.

Rob_P Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 To be fair.....mini motos are wank. I've had a go on a mates and it was humm ok, handle like a boat and break allll the time. Another mates got a scramabler style one and thats broken al the time too and hes not exactly the sorta person who dosent look after stuff. Bits fall off the exhaust, the plasctics crack etc etc, there just generally rubbish. If your gonna get one you may as well get a proper blata one, racing style for like near a grand, ones for £200 are just not worth it. Put the money towards a proper bike. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corish Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) Xsports and Thumpstars are not the best you know... There are some 'Copies' out there that are really really good, Honda engines, 4 stroke are very reliable too that they sometimes use in copies. If you want a cheap 'Copy' get a "Hellfire" But if you want a REAL bike get a Honda CRF250, if you don't want to spend lots of money on one of those, arrange for a thief to get you one, I'm sure he would like 500 pound in his pocket for one nights work :P Mini motos and the 110 Pit bikes are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! These are mini motos: These These are 110 Pit bikes: These The only thing 'simler' is that they're small, but the Pit bikes are bigger than Mini Moto's, but at least the Pit bikes are actually 'Rideable' Corish Edited November 21, 2005 by Corish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
