Will you help me determine if this is a good bike? (NO KIDS, EXPERIENCED ADULTS ONLY!)?

Question

I have found a bike on eBay that i want to buy, and if you are someone with experience in pocket gas scooter bikes (did that make sense?), I would greatly appreciate your help.
(If the ad is expired, don't tell me, there is 5 new listings a day for this bike, and i don't expect them to slow down, this guy is a "powerseller.")

Answer 1

i dont belive it, i bought the same exact one and it was garbage, listen to me dont buy it the handle bars shake, and they construction is poor, its cheaply made, the engine is way too fast and it will fall apart because its not build for the scooter and not built to work that way, TRUST ME I BOUGHT THAT ONE ON EBAY AND I SOLD IT BACK.
~~the one you should buy is called an XG-499 from Xtreme Scooters. i got one and it is great!! email me for more info

Answer 2

Personally i wouldn't be cought dead or waste my money on one of those. The fact that the seller is a "power seller" means little more than they have sold a lot of merchandise, not neccesarily sold that many of those "things". The sellers feedback rating of 95% is less than stellar, and the fact that they have changed their seller ID 4 times tells me to stay away. Read the feedback comments and make your own decision, 100 negatives in the past month. You would be much better off with a moped.

Answer 3

49cc is typically a pretty large engine for those bikes but if you were thinking of any off road application like the add says it can do than you would hate it those things are awful off road the wheels are just to small
but you need to read the guys most recent feedback and decide if you would trust him to do business with

Answer 4

Not bad , good price ,fast ,
I bought one for 500$ and it was slower,expensive,no upgrades,stock,no chrome, and when I went to go see how much the chrome pipe was they wanted to charge me $120 installed ,but their really fun to drive and cool.
but at the end I sold it to my cousin for $200, but I regrate it. I thought I left it in good hands. but my cousin burned the motor right after I sold it t him.

"SUGGESTION"
If you get it you should add a "performance air filter" for more power, To mine it gave it 10mph more.

Answer 5

There is only one way to determine if a bike is good.You have to test it out.Good is defined as whatever suits your particular needs and requirements.

Answer 6

Looks like a good deal to me...if you check their feedback they appear to be honest seller...
