From New York
October 1st, 2004
The bike is a Wal-Mart 99 Dollar Mongoose
with Full Suspension. I have Wire tied the
spokes where they cross each other on both
sides of each wheel. This has ended any breaking
of them. Loc-Tite applied to ANY threads
has held this bike together, along with nylon
insert nuts replacing the store hardware.
I have beaten this bike to the point of insanity.
Axles have bent, everything has come off
or loose at least once. Blowouts + crashes
are common even with thicker tires. I have
done some rotten trails, cliffs, drop offs,
bluffs etc. to get to some WONDERFUL Peaks
here in the Hudson Valley at West Point and
Bear Mountain State Park ,along the Hudson
River. What surprises me is that this bike
engine kit has survived intact. The engine
is close to 1000 miles, and gets more power
now than when new. It is wild to have this
kind of power from 25cc's. If you like trails,
go for the Lower (smaller) ratio Gear. Top
speed is 47MPH downhill (please don't do
this), 35 on the level. Bought a kit for
my wife Melanie, with a muffler kit (25 Mins.
to install) Top end is better as stated,
with NO lower power loss that we can detect.
I am banned from this bike... Now for the
reason for buying these great kits... I was
completely paralyzed from head to toe for
quite a long time with Guillain-Barre Syndrome,
Axonal Type. This was a pretty severe Variety
and We were told I would never walk again
after MANY months of complete paralysis,
Tube Feedings, Respirator etc… I got better
over the years and am doing fine; HOWEVER,
I can't pedal a bike. This kit not only allows
me to go where I want in the Mountains, I
can Blow the doors off ANY of those Spandex
racer bikers on the roads to these trails.
I really SMOKE them! THAT, Boys and Girls,
is the funniest coolest thing of all. Even
they laugh and holler. My advice, as life
really is too short: Get off your ass and
buy this set-up. Stop clicking these reviews
and order one. Save your bottle money, sell
the Plasma TV, Hell. Sell YOUR Plasma, but
get one on the road. It's Wild!
