Hey! that things cuter than a bugs ear! Fortunately my granddaughter is into "girly" things, so I might be off the hook for that one.

When I saw the thread title, I thought it must be someone looking for a winch!

This thing Rocks. Charged it up just a bit & rode it from the kitchen into the living room...kinda hard for me to bend enuff to fit on it. But the acceleration is pretty damn good for an electric bike.

And you know what the funniest part is? For $200 it comes with a tool kit. I paid over $10K for the X1 & it didnt even come with one

Left, they actually have one that looks like a Yamaha Virago cruiser bike. Mini apes & all, but it costs just under $300.

"Comes with a 6 month bumper to bumper warranty"

Probably not. I like the can of WD-40 shown for scale.

Well, there are worse things to aspire to I guess. Just get her to focus more on the business success and less on the race success and you might be able to sleep better at night. But either way I somehow think you are and will always be one proud papa.

Mike, I just measured the one I bought & its 38.5" long & stands 20" to the top of the windscreen. Actual wheelbase from center of axle to axle is about 28.5".

And I cant believe those goombas on ebay are over paying for it.

saw an ad on tv last night frlom Honda . . . .closeups of a couple of design features of some undescribed product, with the tagline being "this will change everything!"

now, it's Honda, who certainly HAS changed everything in some of their markets, and really got my attention on this one . . .. . imagine my chagrin when the ad turned out to be for a lawn mower . . . . .

sigh

Of course not! That's why turn signals go for $35.00/pair or Pegasus timing covers sell for $30.00.
