Hi all i am after 2 of these pocket bikes i want the bigest ones you can get i would like a harley or the road bike just after some prices thanks or some info were to get them from cheap i'm in melb

I went to savedirect today... saw some of their goods. This guy was riding a yellow pocket bike and full speed up and down the street, looked mad. He told me the one he was riding costs $800, 49cc Air cooled, Key ignition, Max speed of 60kmph.

What do you guys thik of em?? Reliable?? or a total waste of money?

save direct dont have the best quality bikes.

I just picket this up yesterday ;)

Which is the new 4 stroke 70cc ones

But i got it for a better price than that advertised.

This thing hauls ass and is alot bigger than the 49cc mini bikes you can get. The speedo reads to 60MPH and riding around my court and nearby park i had it to around 45MPH (72km/h) at the start of 4th, but wasnet going flat out coz for the first few tanks of fuel you need to run the engine in!!!

With the 4 speed semi automatic (clutchless) you can shift at full throttle and it will pop the front wheels in the air in every gear change.

Will get pics of it tonight.

damn that looks nice... but i heard that anything bigger than 49cc needs to be registered or you need a license??

What the deal with your one?

Mate if you know me you would know i dont care about little details like that ;)

It looks like the biggest 49cc bike and i only ride in in the park and on deserted roads.

Hey mate how much did you pay for this bike if you dont mind telling me i have been looking on ebay and been to a few stores but they variy so much in price and most of them look the same. anyone know were to get a good cheap one from thanks

Not yet but close, once nearly head butted a car turning into my court and another one hit a pot hole on a foot path in the park at about 70 km/h and went off on the grass but stayed on the bike, luckly it has hydraulic suspension otherwise it would have ended in tears!!!

is it more fun to drive than your skyline? :D

Na, it a total different type of experience!!

Since cops still think a bov has something to do with the exhaust then they are not going to know the difference between a 49cc and 70cc bike!!!

plus i know sfa about bike engines either!!

Good point, is the 70cc model bigger than the 49's?? coz im not buyin one of those puny ones where your knees can smack you in the face whilst racing

Finially got some pics of the bike last night after i changed the oil to some full synthetic 4 stroke oil!!

Rode around for about 3 hrs on sunday with 2 mates with 49cc mini bikes in local industrial estate with long straights and fast corners and even with my heavy carcus kicked their asses easily. Most times on the long straights i could pull around 15-20 bike lenghts on them, they would catch me a little in the corner coz my bike is double the weight of theirs and not as easy to turn, and the fact that i was going nearly double the speed of theirs into the corner before braking, and i was hitting speeds of near 85-90km/h down the main straights.

The 4 speed gearbox makes such a difference and the 70cc engine has so much more torque and top end than the 49cc ones, and 1 of the 49cc ones had a few modifications, and mine was 100% stock!!

I am looking at some modifications for mine but since the bike is new on the market most of the available parts for my engine are only in the USA. There is a supercharger kit for the 4 strokes available in aus which at 8psi gives 10hp power gain. That would make my bike total about 14KW and weigh with me on board around 135kg.

Word to the wise:

When someone crashes the bike your about to ride just before you venture out onto the track on it, remember to make sure the tank/seat/tail assembly is still firmly attached to the frame of the bike.

I low-sided BADLY last night with the throttle pinned wide open coming out of a fast right hander onto the back straight at my local go-kart track. Tank/seat/tail assembly fell clean off and me with it!

My knee and elbow hurt real bad!! :)

Fark it was fun though!!

I have already come off once on sunday in the industrial estate trying to take a left hander to fast and with the back wheel locked trying to slide through the corner, and only scraped the right hand side fairing a bit and added a small crack to it also. I only got a slight scratched elbow. 1 of my friends on the 49cc mini bike tried to pop a mono and ended up flipping the bike and scraping the whole back of his bike and denting the exhaust muffler and having bleeding elbows and knees for his effort!!

Of course we stood there laughing at him for about 5 mins before we went to see if he was ok :)

I think you guys should start wearing leathers man....

then, start to lean like Rossi... with knee... would look rather hilarious on photo :headspin:

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
