    Gday all, I've got a question about pocket bikes off ebay.

    I'm looking at getting one[the road bike type] just for fun and ive noticed that theres water cooled ones that go for a fair bit more than non water cooled ones. Is there gonna be much difference if i go cheap[~200 posted] or water cooled [~300+ posted]??

    for the money your better off buying an air cooled (CAG?) im not 100% sure but they are suposed to be the most common model which makes them cheap to fix

    i havnt heard alot about water cooled pocket bikes i know they are mainly used for racing, they are also less comon which makes them harder to fix when they break

    I was looking at getting one too, but not sure whether I would use it that much <!-- s:rofl: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":rofl:" title="Rofl" /><!-- s:rofl: -->

    Where do you guys use 'em and how often?

    I ride mine up and down the street on weekends when its pretty quiet.

    There is also a push bike track in a near by park. If you do get one, be aware they aren't allowed on the road.

    Ill post some pictures of mine once its fixed and painted <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->. If anyone else gets one, be sure to post up some pictures.
