nothing is original – these guys basically took the design of a mountain bike with a motor kit addon, right?

so they included ripping off people in the motorcycle industry by using the tube as a reservoir, which is just a rip off of the off road community using tubes as air reservoirs.

why is there a pissing match going on here? oh yeah that’s right because these are all the same people who harvest up all the cheap mopeds and then try and sell them for 2 to 4 times their worth, and now when a company is using your marketing tactics you whine.

oh-is there another group of would be elitist, an “animal farm” oligarchy, giving you a run for you “johnny moped” money? how many million of people are there in this world? stop hording the rides and be appreciative that money is being put into the genre…

what are you, the skull and mopeds?

bo f-in ho.

it either works or doesn’t and stop copying my idea for breathing air!

There are sooo many dealers but when you call they don’t even know that they are a dealer!
Noone can agree on the price!
Some smaller dealers don’t even know what an MSO is!
STOP DANGLING THE CARROT!
I got a kicker 5150 HARDKNOCK Chopper to go to welding school from Kelley,in N.CA. who by the way was quite the jerk to me when I called asking for my money back & at that point could have offered me an MSO instead said,
“You’ll never get your money back” and hung up on me.
Can’t register it ,So thats $1600 bucks out the door.

I’m blueprinting the frame as a school project before I sell it.

It was cheap but i don't think it will last. every part that can be substituted for a cheaper version is i.e. mirrors horses paint lights all the electronics. don't buy one.<br/>love mike i just got one off of ebay. its JUNK, i went to urban moto in Austin tx (dealers of the Madass) and did my own side by side. the bike came with no title, broken parts, scratches, and is far less of a bike over all.
