It's a 4 speed... I think. I never asked the guy and I've read different specs on the bike that says 300 and some say 350 lbs weight limit... 4 speed then some say 5 speed. It's in my brother’s garage right now and I really haven't had a chance to check it out much. When I test rode it, I never made it out of 3rd.

Yes, it's electric start and kick start. I should have a chance to play with it this week end.

Here's a link to the one I got.

My luck is holding out on this one. The left side that was replaced was the wrong side. I never looked at it until today and noticed that the new piece looked just like the one still on the bike. So I ordered a new left side for $40 shipped and $50 for the Telefonica decal kit from alloutgraphics. I'm trying to contact a buddy of mine that paints for a living. I may be able to score the blue paint cause it's common, but I'll most likely have to buy the green on the bottom.

I'm already thinking about how I can bend some tubing to make a rear stand for it.

Give me a couple of weeks and I might have it ready for pictures. Now I have to wait on the parts I ordered, then prep it all for paint.

We had a party at a friends house and we were all drinking and riding his neighbors pocket rocket around the block. Someone called the cops and they came at like midnight or so and if they gave him a BA test he would have gotten fired from being an EMT. When the cops came his mom, who was wasted, came over by the cop down the road where they pulled him over and started yelling at the cop for harassing us. He was like MOM STFU cuz he didn't need to get fired. Just my funny short version story about those things.

there no good when your drunk. i had the great idea of riding one half shot in the *** and in doing so managed to dump it cause the dang handlebars were loose. i had no skin left on the outside of my right leg for the next couple weeks. good luck with it though they are fun.

I'll do pics when I start the work. I never have a camera around me when I'm near the damn thing. But, I haven't started anything yet. The plastic is already off the bike, but the pics I've posted are stock photos and it looks the same.

For now.... I wait.

Instead of bending tubing to make a stand you should just put a drag bar like on stunt bikes on the back the rear fairing, so you can just stand it up when not using it. How fast does it go btw?
