Got this today for $200.
They sell for around $600 new.
Guy says it runs and the motor backs that up.
Got his info and his address, so no craigslist scam here.
Going to paint all the plastic parts a nice car show/candy coat green with sparkles (it will look siiiick)
Also going to get some ape bars and that seat that gives you back support.

Ok so I used the pull start from my G23LH (go ped enthusiasts will know exactly what that is)
Took bout 30 min to get the pull start working.
I ruined my quicksilver shirt cause the wire sprang out at my chest – $10 so don’t really care – it’s nothin to a king.
Anyways, mixed some 25:1 gas (like the cap says)
Pull it about 100 times and it idles GREAT and the tires still hold air.
Let it warm up, then took it around the block for about 10 minutes and it runs great.
I plan to get the easy rider back support thingy, some ape bars, and paint all the plastic parts a nice candy green with the pearl essence like you see on the REAL choppers.
This bike will be pretty sweet when I’m done.
August 8, 2010 at 1:10 pm
“and the tires still hold air.”
Really? Because I can see the back tire smashed flat when your fat ass got on.
August 8, 2010 at 4:11 pm
The “easy rider back support thingy” has a name. It’s called a sissy bar. It seems oddly appropriate.
August 2, 2010 at 11:06 pm
hahahahahahahahahhahahahaaahahhahahaha
What a waste of 200 bones.
August 3, 2010 at 3:40 am
I don’t think so.
I have fun riding it and nobody else has one.
It will only be a waste if/when a cop sees it and they tell me not to ride it.
Cops rarely go through my neighborhood though.
August 8, 2010 at 11:17 am
“…nobody else has one.”
That’s because everybody with enough neurons to form a synapse has more sense than to waste their money on a bunch of motorised Meccano with delusions of grandeur.
August 8, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Nah dude I have 2 go peds and I barely ride them anymore.
They are fun, but they just look bland and everyone has one now.
Nobody has any mini choppers.
August 8, 2010 at 11:28 am
There’s a good reason nobody else has one… Because no one can ride one without looking like an idiot.l
August 8, 2010 at 11:37 am
If your fat ass sat on it it’d just disappear.
August 8, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Ooh, more fat jokes toward someone you’ve never seen before and, thus, have no way of knowing what physical condition they’re in…. How clever.
August 8, 2010 at 9:05 pm
I made an accurate assumption based on your responses to threads about fat turds.
To be fair I thought you were a woman before but you corrected me on that one.
Thanks.
August 9, 2010 at 1:37 am
It’s still nothing more than an assumption. But, whatever. It’s not like you’re really offending me with it. I only comment because I’m amused at the desperation of the jab…
August 9, 2010 at 10:32 am
No I believe you admitted to being a fat fuck before.
Live a lie if you’d like.
I’ll put money down that you’re a fat fuck.
So prove me wrong or stfu, cunt.
August 3, 2010 at 10:38 am
The photo where you’re not wearing a shirt is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. So what are you going to do with it? Are you allowed to ride this on the streets where you live?
August 3, 2010 at 5:22 pm
I thought my face looked terrible…I think it’s because I was outside polishing the chrome for about an hour and the sun really burned my face (well I don’t burn and it never peels, but it looks really red)
It’s just a hobby/project bike.
Legally, I can not ride this on the streets, period.
But my area doesn’t seem to have a lot of cops usually.
I rode it around for about 10 minutes through some neighborhood streets (ones I’ve actually never been to, and I kind of got lost, haha)
You can legally ride any standup scooter in the bike lanes, and I’ve never got pulled over other than down town san jose near bad boys bail bongs and mr chaus because I was riding on the sidewalk, and this was years ago.
I think it’s because you can’t be seen very well.
But if you ride before 4-5pm when everyone is off work, or after 6-7, there aren’t really a lot of cars…
The pictures do the bike too much justice. It doesn’t look as clean as the pictures make it seem (the red/silver plastic pieces anyways)
I’m going to paint all those first, and it should look 100 times better just from that.
I plan to customize is pretty extensively…not sure how that’s going to workout though.
Been wanting one of these for a while.
August 8, 2010 at 12:57 pm
As much as I hate to say this, watch yourself.
A local neighborhood where I live (granted, it’s in Boston, and I know nothing about the town where you live in California) there was a 14 year old boy riding around one of those midget crotch rocket street bikes.
Anyways, some other kids wanted that bike more than he did, and shot him quite a few times, killing the boy and stealing his bike.
As much as you may be an attention craving whore on this site, I would rather not read about some skinny white kid getting gunned down for his shiny new chopper in California.
My advice, fix it up, pain it up, sell it for profit.
August 8, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Well I can only comment/agree with the fixing it up and selling it part.
But the only way I will do that is if a cop stops me and tells me not to ride it.
I try to ride safe (usually ride when no cars are out, after 7pm, or at night when I can see cars easily)
I don’t try to go full speed everywhere…
So if a cop DOES see me, he won’t feel like being an asshole, etc.
August 9, 2010 at 5:27 am
The only way you’re going to be able to sell that is if… A.)You find some one who is far more of a fag then you to buy it. Which is near impossible because you’re really Fucking gay. … or B.) You find a pedophile to buy it. So they can take their 5 year dates on a ride around the block.
August 3, 2010 at 4:42 pm
That back tire is looking a bit flat when you’re on it case. Just sayin’
August 3, 2010 at 5:24 pm
Yeah, after we got it idling, I tried to ride off with it like that, and realized it wasn’t going anywhere with the tire flat like that (you have to basically floor it if you are stopped because it has the clutch)
Filled it and the front tire up to a solid yet slightly poke-able pressure (to the point that you can just barely press it with your finger if you press hard enough) and did a test run in the back yard for about 2 minutes (yard isn’t that big)
Took it out side and when around the block as said above and the thing runs great.
August 3, 2010 at 5:33 pm
there is some issue with the DOT regarding “pocket bikes”. They (or similar agency) didn’t regard anything with an engine at or less than (i think) 50cc a vehicle so you don’t need to register them or smog them for riding on private streets, however some other legalities have
prevented the current retail sale of pocket bikes. There are a few companies that manufacture them here in the northern part of southern california, however they can not sell/ship them to california residents. I have spoken with their reps, and claim most have new order shipped to AZ or NV and have them privately shipped back if they don’t go pick them up. The bikes modeled after sport bikes start around $180 and go up to $700 for those specifically designed for the track.
August 3, 2010 at 5:35 pm
correction: when I say cannot legally sell, I specifically mean california
August 3, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Well there are 2 types of pocket bikes IMO
The ones that actually go 60mph+ and the ones that only do 20mph – both stock.
The $1,000 + ones are the REAL ones that have power, but then they started coming out with the cheap ones that only do $20…still fun tho.
I think the reason for them being illegal is that they are not easily seen by cars and that’s very unsafe.
Do you have any links or quotes on the “DOT” – not sure what that is but it rings a bell.
August 4, 2010 at 1:21 am
dept of transportation. i recall somebody mentioning something about costly state licenses being the reason the manufacturers shy away from california sales, though all the info is just words on the wind. they may fall under the moped area of ca law www.mopedarmy.com/wiki/Moped_Laws:_West#California
August 8, 2010 at 4:48 pm
That is for mopeds
Go peds are razors with motors on them…
August 4, 2010 at 12:51 am
I just drive this thing around for about 3 hours and nothing happened.
Didn’t see any cops, but I didn’t stay in one place and you can barely see me anyways.
Ass hurts a lot. I need a soft seat.
August 8, 2010 at 10:43 am
Yeah…your ass hurts because of the bike….sure….
August 8, 2010 at 8:36 am
3 hours of you annoying the fuck out of your neighbors. What a redneck POS.
August 8, 2010 at 4:49 pm
I’m not the only person around here with a 50cc weed wacker motor on something mobile.
Plus, I’m a sang nigger, not a redneck.
I’m not even white you fucking idiot.
August 8, 2010 at 9:49 am
You spent 200 on a kid’s toy that you’re at least 1 foot too tall for.
You should’ve spent that on a gym membership you chubby POS.
August 8, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Look at my legs and arms.
August 8, 2010 at 9:53 am
sweet bike, brah
August 9, 2010 at 1:20 am
thankz bruh
August 8, 2010 at 9:58 am
You could have just made one for alot cheaper.
August 9, 2010 at 1:19 am
That’s what the kids I met today said. But I really disagree.
You can’t make this kind of frame with all the chrome AND a G23LH engine AND the rims and tires AND the clutch AND the chain and sprocket AND the seat and horn for under $200.
It costs $600 new for a reason.

August 9, 2010 at 1:17 am
I want to put a WIDE tire like the other choppers.
I mean, REALL wide.
I wanted to airbag it and put titanium scrape plates.
August 8, 2010 at 10:21 am
i love how you hacked the license plate off the back fender. did you also file off the VIN number?
August 9, 2010 at 1:16 am
It was a tail light and the guy said he did it.
And I’ve scraped it a couple times on the road myself.
August 8, 2010 at 11:47 am

Dude I get people smiling at me and kids flagging me down riding this.
It looks awesome and unique.
August 9, 2010 at 10:36 am
Film it and show us?
August 9, 2010 at 2:14 pm
Film the chopper or people flagging me down and/or smiling when they seem me rollin?
August 8, 2010 at 12:14 pm

I’ve been tanning a LOT, especially at work.

am I the only one that thinks an king should be an hero?
August 8, 2010 at 3:07 pm
yes
maybe after the next banhammer he could be:
an douchebag
an traffic statistic
or better yet
an memory
August 8, 2010 at 11:34 pm
ITT: people that don’t know what an hero means…
August 9, 2010 at 1:08 am
ITT: people that don’t think before they post.
(an traffic statistic & an memory are both an hero references)

August 9, 2010 at 10:37 pm
ITT: I’m not mad. you’re an idiot. my comment about what an hero means was not directed at mld, as you obviously assumed it to be. pound sand douchebag.
August 8, 2010 at 1:04 pm
West Coast Hog? Where do you live because I don’t see any of these things anywhere around here…but then again, I see a cop every 30 minutes and you’d probably get arrested before you even had a chance to get that thing on the main street.
Speaking of cops, those guys are so bored they tend to overreact to everything. Just the other day I saw them almost shut down a street because an elderly dog got loose and growled at the cop trying to catch him. So he pulled out a collapsible baton, got on the radio for backup, followed the dog around and next thing you know there were like 5 cop cars trailing this old 10 pound dog around until animal control showed up.
August 8, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Yeah, but if the cops come, just pick it up and put it in your pocket.
August 9, 2010 at 1:07 am
San Jose, CA.
West coast hogs is the maker of this “california” chopper.
I have yet to actually get seen by a cop on this other than today, which basically consisted of me going slow in the bike lane and the cop probably not even paying too much attention and not even seeing me because I was so low…also maybe because I was going slow and didn’t make much sound.
I rode it around a LOT the first 2-3 hour run and had no trouble.
I just basically don’t drive it predictably so that the neighbors don’t call and say I drive it every day after 6-7pm or on weekends, etc…
August 8, 2010 at 1:09 pm
the back rest is called a sissy bar just so you know
August 9, 2010 at 1:03 am
Yeah I found that out but thanks.
August 8, 2010 at 4:44 pm
can’t hate. the gf and I each have pocket bikes. we take them to the empty mall. tons a fun.
August 8, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Way to sew a seed in my brain.
I think I can get the sport bike ones for 150 a pop but they’re gas powered and go like hell. I didn’t buy one before because I was told they’re really easy to wreck.
August 9, 2010 at 1:01 am
$150 sounds like they are cheap.
the REAL pocket bikes go about 70+MPH though.
But you can get a better motor, switch up the gear ratio how you like it.
You will only wreck if you don’t know your limits, etc…
I’m 6’1 and as you can see, am very big for this bike but I manage to handle it well.
August 9, 2010 at 1:02 am
I might take them to the mall to ride them on my days off, because apparently, they are super illegal to ride on the street and I was told that a kid got his taken away first time without warning for having one.
But I have had no problems so far…so I will keep fixing it up and making it worth more to sell.
August 8, 2010 at 6:50 pm
I have to say this is the most adventous one you have had since the women’s peacoat one (that one was really funny too.) Your gravel/dirt hole of a backyard needs a little work though.
August 9, 2010 at 12:58 am
My dad likes it like this for some reason.
something about “drainage” and “compaction”
August 8, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Why do you have a cement parking curb next to your trash cans?
August 9, 2010 at 12:53 am
My dad works in construction.
August 9, 2010 at 1:16 am
As do you…no?
Also, you will never be this awesome: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ga72-ASP1uM
August 9, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Not yet/no.
I build stages from pre-designed parts that go in the same way everytime.
Construction is fabricating stuff out of wood and what not.
August 8, 2010 at 8:59 pm
Why green? Honestly, I think that would take away from the red and make it look like it belongs under a Christmas tree. Just sayin’. :]
August 9, 2010 at 12:53 am
The only red is on the gas tank and the horn (as well as the kill switch and light switch, but those are small and easily changed)
Green is my favorite color.
August 9, 2010 at 12:15 am

August 9, 2010 at 12:49 pm
As usual you are a douchebag mr “king”.
Also you have proven that you are retarded as well, 200 bucks for scooter built for a 2 year old? Or was it your way of buying a penis extension? Most guys like that buy a spots car, you must be starting REALLY small to use that toy.
August 17, 2010 at 3:55 am
It’s worth $600 and fits adults just fine.

The hideousness of this bike will haunt my dreams forever.
