I have this death-trap on 2 wheels I'd like to sell. It's got a 43cc motor, belt drive, centrifugal clutch, disc brakes on both wheels, a rear shock, and pretty big tires. (Way bigger than go-ped wheels.) It's gone a GPS verified 29mph on level ground with my big ol 240lb ass on it, and feels like it's probably about 5mph faster on slight downgrades. It's a 2-stroke, and I'll throw in a half-full plastic gas can with it.
The only issues are:
1) The handlebars wobble forwards and backwards. They've done it since I bought it, and I've just gotten used to them. Steering is fine, you just have to lean back a bit with throttle, and push forward during braking. This is the biggest reason that it's a death trap.
2) Leaks a bit of fuel out of the tank. No idea why, but it's hardly any at all. The only reason I'm mentioning it is because I'm really anal about little things like that, and I'd want to know about it if I bought it.
3) Pain in the ass to start when it's cold, unless you use a little spray of starting fluid... Then it works fine.
It's super fun to ride around neighborhoods on, and is convenient to get around at tracks with. No chance I would get this for a little kid though. IMO it's way too dangerous for that.
