    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.

    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?
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    that it won't come with very good tyres?

    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....
