The Warehouse mini motocross bike?

[akoni]

hi

anyone have tried the mini motocross bike at thewarehouse for 299?

[White trash]

No. But if they're the ones they were selling for $599 before Christmas, we've got a workshop full of fucked ones.

Stay away.

[Paul in NZ]

Oh dear god! The bloody warehouse should be fined for bringing that shite into the country - it always ends up as landfill

You think we are stupid? No - don't answer that...
Ask yourself - what do you really think you can expect from a bike that costs less than a tyre for a proper bike?

that it won't come with very good tyres? :bleh:

I've had more fun from a $150 Chinese mini moto than any other bike I've ever ridden.

The Warehouse ones have an A115 motor, so parts are cheap and plentiful. So long as it's being ridden by a small child, it shouldn't give you much bother... there's nothing to go wrong in the motor, they're a proven little 2 stroke. The bearings will be shite, as will the fasteners, but it's certainly not beyond the realms of possibility to keep one going fine.

In fairness, you are of course correct. We had the kids out on Sunday hooning around on a 5 year old A115 (the same as the first lot the Warehouse were selling) and it's actually really reliable and surprisingly fast.

However, I bought a used PY50 for $300 and it's far superior in every respect for the kids.

Difference being that once the kids are sick of it you'll probably still get $300 for the PY (PW?). All the Japanese mini bikes hold their value really well, which is the pay off for the initially higher purchase price.
Conversely Chinese mini bike values only seem to head in one direction....

The 'breaks' are of the same type fitted to the cheapest nastiest bicycles available!- next time you are in SuperCheap Auto look at the 'Russel Ingle Enforcer' budget BMX bikes -utter shiiite!


and the O800 dedicated hotline!!! ha ha ha - we are going to sell you something that is sooooo bad (5-ooooo's) that we will have to set up a dedicated warranty hotline. Bwahhhhahahahah!!!

Before christmas -I actually stood next to the one at Hamiltons Base shopping centre and told parents who were looking at it that it was a death trap and they should look at a second hand Yamaha or Suzuki for the same price.

I was spoken to by store security......:Police:

Well we bought one of those wharehouse bikes with much trepadation, and I can say that im pleasantly surprised at how good it is and goes also looks. The cable operated disc brakes do a splendid job as does the nippy and responsive engine that starts first pull, am pretty much buzzin about it as much as the kids are. And the helmet it came with is excellent, and all for $300, madness. wish i had one as a kid(although I had a JR50) Am very happy to be parking it next to my KTM.

My 5 year old has only ridden it 4 times and is just learning, granted yes its early days, but am pretty confident i can fix anything thats quits on it, bloody simple design.

i got one about two years back to fuck around on and it fucked out.

You have to be able to tune them, and replace all the bearings. Once that's done, they are reliable and good value.

No way man, it has sealed bearings and the engine cAll it really needs is better suspension, thats its only week point, still no less supple than any JR or PW ive seen. am considering swapping out the rear shock for the one in my downhill bike, then just the forks need softer springs, but like i say, kids are just learning right now.

Swing arm bushes flog out because the bolt is not actually the right size for the hole in the bush.

I bought one when they first came out, through Jimmy and his boss who imported them. Tuned the carb to get it going right, and had trouble free playing ever since. But once he swing arm starts to move too much, they start flicking the chain off regularly.

will keep an eye on them, will do a strip down and re assemble with grease.

Moral of the story; don't buy warehouse motorbikes, go to http://www.overthetopadventures.co.nz instead..

Moral of the story; don't buy warehouse motorbikes, go to http://www.overthetopadventures.co.nz instead..There's no reason not to, so long as you are handy with the spanners. That's the moral I see from personal experience with the bikes.

No, thats not the moral of the story at all, you cant ride off road and not expect running repairs, my point is that in my experiance, this crop of wharehouse bikes seem to be excellent value for money that perform very well. then you look at the parts price, $75 for an engine, $35 frame, $30 gearbox, $11 carb, Guards are $7, i dont have a problem replacing any of this stuff, cheap fun for my kids.
