We have seen them in the states for a few years now.Perfect for the kids with the fully enclosed chain and all.Brakes work good and plenty of power.One of are club members is selling them will haul his 140 lbs rounfd the pits just fine.I think there is a good market for the little buggers.JR

Ralph,I live in upstate ny about 200 miles north of the city.Have never made it to central park but have always seen the pics of all the good rocks and stuff to ride on.We used to ride pedal bike trials and the guys out of ny and nj where awesome riders.I asked them where they practised and they said central park was there favorite spot that and all the concrete walls and steps.Will have to get to the city some day again for some site seeing.Have A good trip.JR

Hello,If you pull clutch in does it sound different.Most of them that we have had it is the clutch that seems to be the source of the noise.JR

Good going Ron!!!They have needed that class for a few years now.Good Luck. JR

Hi,you will have to remove upper shock mount and silencer.Middle esxhaust just slips on header pipe there are a couple o rings but they most always come off fine with pipe part.As for clutch never have had any problems with slipping.JR

I was told a couple of years ago at the Duluth world round ,that for some reason the euros look at south america as a untapped market.I do not think they relize how poor most of these countries really are.Gautamala had 2,000 murders in 2002,this out of a total of 12 million people.JR
