FS: Mini superbike...

Thu, 14 October 2004 05:55

Unfortunately I have to sell my mini racing bike... As I have to pay for work I need to do on my car...

The bike is an Apollo AGB-18a... it's a 49cc two-stroke which produces almost 1kw Very Happy

at around 9000rpm...

I am almost 100% sure that apparently they are perfectly legal as long as your wearing a helmet... they are under the power limit to require a licence...

It's in brand new condition. I've ridden it about five times since I bought it... it hasn't even finished off it's first tank of fuel!!

The max speed it 60-70kmh... which feels a little more like 200... they actually have awesome fuel economy... around 40km per tank... and they are great fun...

All up they weigh 21kg and they can take up to 120kg on them...

It has cross-drilled disc brakes front and back...

The fairing is all chrome and looks amazing...

They retail at $1299... But I want around $900ono to let her go...

I've got one too - and they are great fun, and they hurt way less when you fall off them when you're arsing about. About as quick as a VP Commodore to 60... Jash [Report message to a moderator]

Errr, try $150 and 3 points, and thats only WA.
The fines would be harsher over east.

Again... you're in a different state...Look on the RTA website there is no CLEAR indication of whether they are legal or not... I may be wrong... and so what i have the right to be... I have never been told off on it or had the cops called on me... if your responsible with them you wont get in trouble... I have never gone riding on a highly main road... but then again why would I??? I don't use it for transport... [Report message to a moderator]

They are illegal in Vic... To be legal they need to be below 0.2kW... They would then be classified a "power assisted bicycle". They can't be registered either because they are less than 50cc. I checked the VicRoads site when I was looking to buy one for myself. I don't know what the penalty is if you are caught riding one on the road... A friend told me $2000 but that sounds a little high. He may be right though. If every other state outlaws these little babies, I doubt that they would be legal in NSW.

the only people i have heard of getting fined were people who rode them dangerously and irresponsibly. like on busy roads with no safety gear. everyone else i know road them in quite backstreets and have never had a problem [Report message to a moderator]

again this is a different state, but i've heard conflicting stories in SA. i know the rules used to be that under 50cc could be ridden by anyone and didn't require registration, you just had to have a full face helmet. with these superbikes and such coming out i think they may have changed the law tho, supposedly they're illegal on the road and also unable to be registered [Report message to a moderator]

Re: FS: Mini superbike...	Tue, 19 October 2004 02:45

Sorry for the hijack, but here's what the NSW RTA told me for the sake of argument: Chris, An unregistered vehicle is prohibited for use in public areas. The main thing to consider is: Is the engine fitted to the item capable of propelling the bike without the rider pedalling? If the motor is capable of this, the item is then classed as a "moped" and must be registered. Vehicle Standards 27 describes the allowance of an auxiliary motor fitted to a cycle which is essentially a pedal cycle with a small auxiliary motor attached. This means that the item is one which is constructed for the use of people and propelled by human power. ie: by pedalling. If there is an auxiliary motor attached, it's restricted to the maximum power output of 200 watts and isn't capable of propelling the bike. It's purpose is to aid the rider pedalling. The majority of cases where a motor is attached to a push bike involve the fitment of a small petrol motor from a 'whipper snipper' etc. Proof of power output needs to be a document from the engine/motor manufacturer. If you have any other enquiries, don't hesitate to reply or contact Technical Enquiries on 1300 137 302. Regards Colin Lambert Technical Enquiries Officer -- Then i said -- Would it be possible to register one? And when you say 'public areas' does that mean you cannot ride them on the road OR even on the footpath ? -- Then he said -- In order to register one of these bikes, you would need to be able to prove compliance to the Australian Design Rules for vehicle construction and equipment. The only way to do that is to obtain an engineers report. The use of these items is restricted to private property only. [Updated on: Tue, 19 October 2004 02:56] [Report message to a moderator]

If 79 rollaboy sells his mini bike and someone else is also after one, i have access to the whole range of pocket bikes, ATVs, mini choppers etc at dealer prices. I'm talking half the price of RRP so if anyone wants one hell cheap and brand new i'll hook you up. [Report message to a moderator]

My young bloke and a couple of his mates, bought some 50CC PEE WEE's. They had huge amounts of fun, riding them all over Canberra, mainly on the network of bicycle paths, but sometimes on the footpath and off road. They even got a round of applause for doing Mono's through one of the streets that has sidewalk cafe's. Then one night, just after dining at Macca's, they pushed their bikes across the road to the servo to gas up. The stupid Beeeatch at the servo called the cops. I had to hook up the trailer, and go and collect them all. I convinced the copper's that these things were unregisterable, and to be treated as push bikes! The young guys all ended up with a "Warning" through the post. That was the end of the Pee Wee Adventures. These same guys bought trail bikes, and a Banshee, and had a great time out in the forest, for a while. Then some dick-head on an unregistered bike knocked down a pedestrian!. Now you cant go near the forest, for fear of getting fined.$1,000.00 to $3,000.00. So the guys bought a couple of these Pocket Bikes. There was an article in last weeks Canberra paper. Again some "dickhead" This time riding one of the Harley pocket bikes down a main road. Coppers pulled him over. " It has light's and indicators, so I thought I could ride it on the road".Coppers response, get it registered or cop a $1000.00 fine. RTA, no can't be registered as it does not have a compliance plate. My lad now gets his out a couple times a week, and goes for a quick lap around the block. These young blokes, don't do drugs, dont drink in excess, and just want to have a bit of fun!. Every way they turn, there is some dick-head, just waiting to foul it up for everyone. Ah well, had my whinge, time for a beer. regards Chuck. [Report message to a moderator]

general society does the right thing and some tools fcuk it up and we pay as usual and the ones that we supposivelly elect to look after our interests disregard us
