WTB: PW50, JR50 or similar

[car]

That CRF50 copy I bought for my son is just too damned tall. (Suitable for 4+ yrs my arse -- 4+ feet tall more like. He can ride it, but he can't get on or off it.) So, I'll be keeping that until he really does grow into it, but I'm looking for something shorter in the interim. A PW50, a JR50, Chinese copy not sneered at -- anything that's short, single gear auto clutch and really is suitable for a four year old with a 40cm inside leg. Fixer-upper is fine. Wellington/ Kapiti area a bonus.

Cheers,

Chris.

you could try just cutting the seat foam down on your one if its a crf copy a crf has quite a chunky seat you should get a couple inchs out of it, and screw sum big bits of rubber to his shoes

Funny you should say that... I had a chat with Frosty earlier and that was his first port of call. I'm sitting here with a beer pulling staples out of the seat cover. I'm also thinking about sourcing some replacement suspension parts.

Just a thought here dude. Give SULCO nz a yell.
Tney are the import agent for the Pewee 50 copy.
In the 50 You'll have a hard job teling the copy from the "genuine" item.
$500 ish I think
Of course ya could just put the CRF in storage for awhile and buy a suzuki quad. --They sell pretty fast once he's outgrown it

Too late! Job done. After talking to you and a couple of other folks, I figured I was wasting time and got out to the workshop. I took the foam off the seat, made a "comfort pad" out of a 5mm camping mat and covered it carefully with black duct tape -- that's about 40mm drop right there. Then I took another 40mm out of the suspension with with a hacksaw. I've essentially sacrificed the original super high quality chinese suspension parts (ahem) but they're dirt cheap and currently plentiful. I'll source some over the next six months and in a year or two, we'll see if he's big enough to raise it again. He's pretty pleased with the result:
