I have my learners, and i drive on the high way quite often. I mean 45 like on streets is possible right? Off road I wouldn't expect to go fast off road.
But is there anyway i could improve the engine? Maybe add more power? Like an engine swap or something later?
honestly i'm failing to see how/where that go kart or a 4 wheeler would be useful other than joy riding...you said you're wanting to use it for airsoft? you got a 10 square mile battlefield or something?

quarter of a mile down the road next to the elementary school is i think its a 45 acre field(i forgot how many acre's but i used to fly there)  that's being turned into a neighborhood in the distant future. Its to much of a hassle to have 6 guys ride bikes down there and carry their guns and ammo at the same time. At least with this i could carry one guy, and all the guns and ammo. and the others could ride their bikes

save yourself some money...get a couple of these:




and don't be so lazy...before airsoft or paintball or atv's we used to ride bicycles to a place a couple of miles away and waged war with bb guns, water grenades and army surplus gear...but we were tough army brats.

I'm not lazy! During the summer i spend almost all day light hours on my bike. I'm also in track right now, i mean c'mon. This is also for family, i have a 9 year old sister and a 4 year old brother. I think they would like riding around in it

ok then with consideration to your siblings...don't worry about the power or the speed...make your parents feel warm and fuzzy when you're giving the little ones a ride...if you're going faster than you can pedal your bike, it's too fast...and no tim the toolman taylor monkeying with the engine.



can't believe the price difference between the 125 and the 250 on those things...geez  :confused:

Toll Free: 1-888-901-BIKES, 1-888-901-2453

 Here call them yourself, how it was expalined to me is that when the large motorcycle companies , honda, yamaha, they have patents on there motor or frame designs ect., when the patent expires other compainies copy there work  Motors, Frames, whatever else, and they manufacture them in china and sell them for a 1/4 of what the major names brands sell for and a 1/3 of the quality and reliablity, just call them and ask questions, you dont want to spend your hard earned cash on a pile of junk, example  $499 for a 125cc bike on there site when a Yamaha 125yz goes for over 6 grand, just beware is all im saying, and remember these words, " you get what you pay for "

Raptor the thing is made in china, you will have a hard time finding parts for it.  Also it wont last worth dirt.  You are better off watching craigslist and your classifieds in the paper where you are, and buying something used that is of a name brand.
