Pocket Bikes

Hi guys, I'm looking to get a bunch of pocket bikes at cheap wholesale prices. If any of you are interested in getting some with me, let me know. I need at least 5 orders to get the wholesale price discounts. Starting price is ~$300. The warehouse is located in LA.

Let me know if any of you are interested. I'm planning to get 2 so only 3 more to go! :toothless

Few other notes to consider:
1. These are actually super bikes, they are not as fast/punchy as the original pocket bikes but are safer to ride. You can actually sit comfortably on these bikes w/o knee pads. They run up to ~35mph.
2. These are the china brand bikes. No polata or daytonas here.

Nonetheless, the retail for these are ~500-600 in stores. On ebay you can grab them for ~300, but then add shipping it comes out to $400+.

Most of the superbikes have only speedometer. I'm waiting for the full spec coming soon but the one I was quoted for had a fuel gauge as well, which is cool so you don't end up stuck in the middle of nowhere. The one at http://www.pricerightscooters.com/ is cool in the sense that Boreem seems like a brand name so in the event the thing breaks, you can find replacement parts. The price for the Boreem superbike is $400 w/ shipping. I'm sure the china versions will be cheaper by at least $100.. But then again, I'm fairly new to this arena as well. Anyone got recommendations?

The ones made in China are total crap. Very very poor construction. Read up on them before you dive in.

The superbikes are like 2x bigger than the original bike. You can fit more comfortably and actually ride w/o knee pads :-P Plus they generally have at least the speedometer, whereas the original pocket bikes don't. However, the superbikes are a little slower than the pocket bikes.. ~90lb vs 30lb.

Haha I rode one the other night... homeboy had the 47cc pocket bikes that were made in " CHINA " he said he bought 5 bikes @ $260 he was selling one for $280 i almost bought one... until i saw the quality of the bike. I was glad i didnt buy one.
That same night one of my friend' s clutch burned out, and another bike its exhaust got so hot, it fell off (hungover xcuse the grammar). Went back, they ended up having to replace a bunch of parts for every bike and it wasnt cheap.

From EBAY $219 buy it now + $80 shipping. No affiliation, but the original poster now doesn't have to wait for others, he can get his own.

Pardon for the misleading original topic. I was actually looking to get the super bikes (not the smaller pocket bikes as they). Here's an overpriced sample of a super bike (even though the html page says pocketbike.html):

I'm hearing a lot of crap about the China bikes. Has anyone tried/know of any japanese brand ones? I heard those are supposedly better :-?

They're a blast to ride - can throw you off in a heartbeat if you hit the gas too abruptly

they actually race these on real road courses from all age ranges up to adults. sometimes they can be more dangerous than real life size superbikes due to their size and speed. don't underestimate these lil things.

I dont know about your cities......but a lot of people got them here in SF and since their so small a lot of people have almost been hit......also their very loud......so in this city their being BANNED which means if you get caught driving one......it can result in cops taking it away....or a fine......or both.....im sure many more cities will be implementing some kinda ban on these pocket bikes cause they are nothing but annoyances
