It's quite simple, the £800 + versions work, the others don't!

They're generally all 39cc or there abouts, the good ones are Polini and the bad ones are Polini rip offs.

Have a look at www.minimotoclub.co.uk for all your undersized bike needs

We bought a couple of 49cc ones a couple of months back for a bit of summer fun for £180 each.

They're a great laugh when they work but we've spent most of the time sat on the floor with the toolbox out

One of them seems to have some sort of fuelling issue, we've broken LOADS of pull starts due to dodgy compression and bits tend to fall off a lot

I'm personally not fussed because I only fall off them when they run anyhow and its just a bit of fun but a mate has a fairly expensive Blata (sp?) mini moto and the build quality is in a different league.
