My 6 yr old mini bike

[Jestynn31]

I have a mini bike that I have had for 6 years.....I want to sell it and I want to know what type of motor it has in it.
How much do you think it is worth?

 

[kendelrk]

looks like a pocket bike, like a 43-49 cc engine

Can anyone share any information they know about this pocketbike

 

[Russ2251]

Need much more info.
Any labels or other identifiers? Pics show little.
I see pics of similar bikes selling new for $179.

 

[j.concepcion54321]

but since this one is 6 years old. you could probably get anywhere from 100-200 thatd be my guess

 

[Russ2251]

$25 would be mine...if it runs.

 

[j.concepcion54321]

thing is that you know what your dealing with but most craigslist peeps dont. they see it in stores for 300 and on CL for 150 and they buy it for 150 not knowing that its worth 50 bucks max??

yeah id probably go 25 on that also.

Unfortunately...they are basically toys/junk.

Unfortunately...they are basically toys/junk.

I agree. You are better off making a homemade pocket bike then buying a china one. They have no re-sale value and are pretty much junk.

 

[B man]

id say 75$ on craigslist. if it runs.

I have an 8.5 hp 2 cycle power-plant that is just dieing to overpower something like this.
Toystory_4wd is in my will.

you have yourself a 49cc cateye pocket bike.




pocketbikeplanet.com might be able to tell you more.

Well my dad bought it for around $500 but since i cant make much off of it the way it original is......i stripped it down to its bare frame so i could sell its parts for more and just use the engine for a random project

 

[Russ2251]

I just may have a rolling frame of Jestynn31's model. Can anyone justify my assumption?

 

[Bluethunder3320]

thats definately a cateye^^^

russ you should put a lawn boy in that!!!

 

[Jestynn31]

I stripped my frame and is trying to sell it.....Russ, what did you do with the engine?

 

[j.concepcion54321]

wait did it run? if so why didnt you just keep it?? you can make a cool gas scooter out of the engine and then stretch the frame and put in a big engine. loads of fun there, and you have 2 new toys

 

[Russ2251]

Russ, what did you do with the engine?

Did not come with one. I received it as you see it. It is a freebie.
The scrap guy I deal with saves this stuff for me.
Frame seems strong, but has problems such as seized front shock tubes.
