We bought 2 dirt bikes from PowersportsMax.com I've read that they have terrible customer service and never answer phones or online. I needed to change an order, got a answer the second time 15 minutes apart. The lady on the phone was very helpful with changing my order. I needed paperwork for the bikes which I requested online and answered very quickly.
My son started out on 50cc (auto clutch, no shift). This machine is a great step-up, while still auto-clutch though with added foot shift. The bike WILL REQUIRE SOME SMALL FIXES & ADJUSTMENTS, Moms & Dads! They get VERY beat-up in transit. Plan for scuffs and dings, and have your tools ready to address chain tension, tire pressure, loose fasteners, minor carb adjustments, peeling decals (use a hairdryer to warm & reaffix) kinks in fuel lines, and even missing hardware. Have a NEW fuel filter ready to go (any basic, small engine one from your hardware store will suffice), as the tanks will have paint/weld slag debris. NEVERTHELESS, after some mods, this 4-stroker (regular gas, no mix) fired off in two kicks and purrs like a kitten! My son is a tall 9 year old, and it fits him perfectly - I'm 6'4" 180, and it totes me around no problem as well, but structurally, this is a youth-sized machine. If it shifts hard, there's a simple clutch adjustment on the bikes right side. In all, great machine for the price, AND they hold value after a couple of years and once your kiddo has outgrown it!
This is our 5th Tao product. As with the others these bikes need maintenance. These are not toys, you can not abuse them without constant upkeep. This seller was very good in regards to shipping. It was delivered on time and in excellent condition. About an hour to assemble, an hour to ride and break in, and 30 minutes to go over the bike tightening fasteners as needed and changing the oil. This bike has been rode hard everyday now for over a month now and its been trouble free.
Had mine for a over a month now and overall it's a great pit bike for how cheap it is. A few things I'd recommend doing before riding: swap out the flimsy kickstart/gearshift lever
And get solid ones. The stock ones will bend and break over time. Then remove each bolt one by one and put loctite on them. Add oil and you're good to go!
Also if you want to know the top speed of this bike it's 35-37mph stock.
I added a straight through exhaust, larger carburetor, larger front sprocket, smaller rear sprocket and got it up to 61mph.
