6 yr old riding m/c. In response to jakes response to rosie…………3 reasons to your view. 1) you dont have any children. 2) your children dont have natural riding abililties. 3) you are a new rider. My son started riding a dinli quad (with 4×4 blocks for his feet to reach) at age 2. Same situation as rosie (except for the blocks). open flat land for the learning curve is the solution(along with a govenor of course). My son is now 2 years and 9 months. His newest bike is a honda xr 50r with training wheels. He maxes out at 15 mph in 1st gear at the race track and open desert. (He dosent know about 2nd or 3rd yet.) Point of the post is not to brag or demean……….. only to point out the fact i had to illegally purchase a 50cc m/c for my son, because folks (liberals) like you, think you have right or “purpose” to tell everyone else what is right and what is wrong……. Before you make another post like your last, go to a pee-wee motocross event and see the talent, love and excitement in the childrens faces…………..In regards to pee-wee chinese quads, they are death traps. I looked into them and my son will never set butt on one.

Well I thought I would add my 2 cents. I know this thread is old but they still make these bottomless money pitts. Anyway I bought one new about 6 months ago and thought to myself that if I buy one new and look after it it surley will last for a while… Ha, fat chance. I have had nothing but problems with this pile of doodoo. The thing is just falling apart little by little. Mark my words, “you will be sorry” but I suppose every now and again you will find a good block of lego in a big pile of dog poo…

I own a 2008 BMS (mfg Znen) 150cc cruiser scooter. It was manufactured in July 2008 and I bought it in August 2008. After 2000 miles I have had no loose screws, no leaks, no cracked welds, no rotten rubber, no alarm system problems, no cloged filters, no overheating, no loss of performance (in fact performance has improved with milage), no problems of any sort!

I performed what is known as a “power break-in”, changed crankcase and differential lubes and rode the heck out of it. I change oil every 1000 miles and plan to shift to synthetic oil at 5000 miles. I plan to upgrade to a 257cc Linhai-Yamaha engined model at about 10,000 miles. I am waiting until they develope a luggage trunk to fit the BMS TBX260.

In past years I have owned a Vespa, two Hondas, a BSA and a Norton. This is the most trouble free 2 wheeler I have ever owned.

I just saw the post from “Rosie” – good heavens woman! Why in God’s name would you allow a 6 year old to ride a self powered machine over hill and dale? I don’t care where the ATV was built – NO 6 year old has the intellectual or physical capacity to appreciate the nuances of operating ANY motor vehicle!

As someone who lives in China, I can tell you that some Chinese motorcycles are good and cheap, whilst others are death traps!

Some companies such as Qingqi and Jialing are OK, some others suck, for example some manufacturers are simply assemblers of outside sourced parts. Avoid these companies, some of them do not use proper torque wrenches in the factories. It can get pretty dangerous when your triple tree falls apart because none of the bolts were tightened up properly!
