Default anyone bought one of these?

http://www.pocket-bikes-wholesale.com/X19-pocket-bikes/


I just ordered one of these for my son who will be 13 in April. Now I just need to find a way to govern it down. Anyone else bought a pocketbike before? I bought my son a 50cc one a couple years ago and after awhile he didnt ride it much because he outgrew it. Apparently this new one is able to be ridden in all 50 states, so I may license it for the hell of it. I cant wait till my son turns 16 so we can ride together!

well the 50cc one my son had was kinda fun. But this one looks WAYYYY cooler to me. Also it will be good for him to learn a clutch on. He has already been able to drive my 95 S10 manual since he was like 9 I think. Now I will see how he does on just 2 wheels WITH a clutch.

That looks awesome, they got the purportions perfect. The only way to make it better is a hidden handle so you can carry it into work after your commute and put it under your desk. lol I would love to see someone lane splitting on a pocket bike.

that is sick, it even has a rear huger. I think in CA it has to be 250cc or more to get on the freeway but that thing would rock for the city.

My buddy has the X7 model. It's loads of fun, but I have more scars now from that pocket bike than I do from years of ATVs and 2 years of street riding
