I just got a Cag 49cc pocket bike running. It was sitting in my friends garage for 2 years. I put about 30 bucks into it, took apart the whole thing, got it running beautifully. Starts up very quickly. Has had less than 5 tanks of gas run through it.

Runs hard and is fast! I was next to my friends 540i going 38mph and i'm 5'9.5 185lbs. If your lighter you can get up to speeds of almost 42mph.

Designed for adults...Holds up to 235lbs I believe.
The bad: Needs rear brake assembly...(lever broke) Needs Front brakes to be tightened up...functional but just don't brake that hard.

Also needs the left side pedal. These can be bought for less than $50.00 shipped.

$150.00 firm, I'll budge only a little if its a cash offer.

Located on LI(Syosset)...I can meet you halfway from where you live (if its reasonable)

EDIT: I WILL BE ATTENDING BMW FEST IN NJ, IF YOU WANT I WILL BRING IT WITH ME FOR A SALE! PM me :)

If you had put this up for sale about a month ago, I would've pounced on it. Now I have no money :(

Will it keep up with a 600 sportbike? My budget is tight, but i'm lookin to ride. That thing would be a sweet pit bike or ride to parties.

Might make for a nice commuter the 3 miles to the train station, but first time a cop sees me on it on a public street I know it's getting taken and I'm getting ticketed =(
Might still be interested if you might work on the price a little more, let me know if you get any more desperate.

lmao...idk if i'd drive this thing around for 3 miles. I take it out for around for like 1/2-1 miles runs. You can do more, the tank can hold up to like 15 miles or more something like that.

Your in Pittsburgh, shipping would cost more than the bike I think. I have a few local buyers, someone is offering me 130 cash but 2 are deciding whether they can cough up 140 or 150.

Might get sold tonight. I'd rather give this to a bimmerforums member and not take the chance of getting mugged in queens at 11pm!

why would u go and buy a new one =/ i knew i should have fixed it.....all you need to do is make the carb sit in acid for a couple of hours and then pop the new spark plugs in..........pentetrating oil around most of the parts and wipe it down for a nice shine and good to go
