thanks bro... well i went through all of it yesterday i have what looks like a x2 pocket bike, a vtwin in pieces, and an electric scooter and a bqq trigger which i have a plan for all ready.

but the pocket bike has my interest at the time so that might be my project. Ill try to get some pics for you guys tonight if possible.

thats what it looks like but a bit more beat up

Here's a couple pics if anyone is intrerested. It needs brakes and and engine but most of all some quality time with a powerwasher

cool. what are your plans for it? I just got my first pocket bike today, and may be getting another one soon....

 

[syko120]

planning on switching to hydraulic brakes and tires getting rid of the plastic and making it some what of a mini street fighter and bolting in a modded clone maybe making an engine cage for it.

aiming for a 1/3 scale version of that

 

[j.concepcion54321]

cool. Ill be looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

sure enough bro what kinda pocket bike did u get?

 

[j.concepcion54321]

not sure! haha. I paid 30 bucks for it and i when i got it it ran. but it needed a chain. and then i put the old chain on to see if i could ride it around a little bit and when i went to start it the pull cord broke!! so when i tried to fix it i effed it up even more and now i need to buy a new chain and the pullstart. I have some pics attached. The same guy has another one that is just the rolling frame(no plastics, no engine) and a 6hp briggs and stratton engine for another 30 bucks. I mightbuy it and chop up the frame to fit the briggs in it and extend it to make myself a minibike. ill post up some pics of it in a second...
