Are they road legal? Do you have to have tax and insurance, or, is it a grey area like the gopeds (that aren't legal on road or paths)?

Just wondering as a number of these annoying feckin' things have cropped up near us and make an incessant din with their one note exhaust :mad:

All IMHO ;) (but would like the legality question answered ;))

:D LOL that looks a laugh, saw these on promotion in a shopping centre recently, anything from 150 quid to 400 quid for different specs.

What puts me off is the worry/expense of having to replace parts/blown engines etc on a regular basis or are they actually a lot more reliable than that?

Doing the daily commute might not be the best idea!! :D :D

:D I don't think i'd use it instead of the gixer mate

not legal at all as they don't come with any paperwork other than assembly instructions lol. theoretically you could ride one on the road but you'd have to register one with the dvla and get it roadworthy etc.

i think they're more for carpark fun and meeting up in designated spots for a race. shame that some a ruining the things by racing on paths but there you go.

i don't think they're too bad tbh. mate at work has a ducati replica and has done a fair few miles. no need to worry about the parts though as a replacement engine only costs £20 :D

Cheers :) Don't mind them being ridden in the proper places but around 23:30 on the main estate road I was desparately wishing I had a snipers rifle ;) Next time I'll go out and kick him off it, then he can claim it on his virtual insurance :D

Hope you can run fast to catch him, some of them do upto 70mph lol :o i'd be in full leathers and lid for that speed.

My mates mini motos have stayed in the garage ever since he took the skin off his elbows and knees :D

i got one last year, for a blat about to the papershop on sundays!!!

its been in my shed now for 4 months!!!

not worth getting nicked on nowadays!!!

good for private functions (race meeting pits etc..)

and dangerous too!!!

BB:)

yea i had a mini harley, great fun no probs. used it a bit for the local grand prix round the block, sold it after a few weeks of fun :D

Where's that Scooby96 geezer?

Haven't seen him on here for ages.

mines been in the shed gathering dust for months now although with summer on the way might dust it off soon. only about £110 quid for a cheap one now:)

How easy are they to wheelie avi? Did the above pic take some practice?

A load of my mates got them a few months ago. Not heard of anyone who's been on them recently. I knew it was a fad ;)

dont get a cheap one upto £400 they are chinese models with strimmer engines!!!! even the liquid cooled 55mph will just fall to pieces. they are only that quick because of the clutch set to come in at 10.000 rpm. if you want a descent one that is quick and wont fail then get the british models that are exactly the same but have the race port engines 49cc. they are £800 min
