So while trawling Ebay I came across a really poor ad for a cool looking tiny bike. Was only 99p so stuck a bid on and won. Was just going to let my 4 yo ride it as something different to a scooter. But having got it home and done a bit of research I'm starting to get some naughty modifying thoughts. Anyone else had anything to do with these? Here is a similar bike robbed from Google, mine has a brake and better front suspension Apparently these are rated up to 300lbs!  Overkill?  ?  |

tried sticking a motor on one years ago, hard to get the drive to the wheel to work but fun when it was working. we had a roller from the engine on to the rear tyre, in the same way as gopeds ran at the time. chain drive would be better if you can do it

I had one about 5 years ago. there was a few threads on here at the time about them.
I didnt do much with it. I fitted chopper bars. found it incredibly difficult to use, due to the size of it and the coaster rear brake.

I've got a few in the garage. If you have a BBQ and drink too much beer this happens -

I ditched the brakes on mine as just got in the way and when you're feet are nearly touching the floor they're of little use. One had rusted out handlebars so fitted some random BMW ones and makes it much easier to ride.

I have one I paid a tenner for...... no idea why, but the video clip above just reminded me why
Now got to figure out how to ride it without killing myself.

They present a great danger to the gentleman potato area.....
I got rid of mine after a really severe cramp nearly resulted in me falling into Mudeford Quay and I realised I was both too old and in too poor a condition to be using it.
