$1000 brand new semi-trials bike?

Might be a while.

190 pounds?

What's the frame made from? Lead? The engine is only 45 pounds.

and $3000? Too much for too little.

I don't recommend anything sold by them. I was just responding to a question. I think that they're charlatans who over charge whenever they can, sometimes charging more for Chinese parts than OEM Honda parts.

Maybe not. Found the supplier on Alibaba. Minimum order quantity of 20. I might do it if it was 10.

20 would be gone in less than a week!

Group buy?

Their listing mentions that samples are available, depending on what they have on hand. You can inquire about what colors & options are on hand, and ask about shipping costs and estimated delivery times.

As a bonus, you can add "importing" to your resume.

I looked at the Alibaba listings and went over to the local place that had them for sale for ~ $900. At that time they still had a couple in stock. Decided I could get a used real modern trials bike for just a little more.

Fair point, unless you don't want a full-on trials bike.

That little China motor with a 4 speed didn't look that usable to me. Ok for back yard and limited trail use...maybe.

Yeah, here we go. Again.

Which is exactly what I'm after. Couldn't care less about trials, or competing with anyone. A fun little bike that you ride for fun.

I think the least number on Alibaba was 10 at that time. Might find some more guys to go in with you or just import some and sell the rest. I thought about it but didn't want one that bad.

It might be harder to import than you'd think, there are a lot of hurdles to jump through. It's possible that @Pitster still has some of the frame/wheel kits they imported, they'd be more expensive, but with better components.

Here come the trials elitist....

This is a fun machine!

Then take it to a "fun" forum.

Trials is one of the funnest forums on advrider!

I feel the same way about the covid thread. I'd love to see that thread disappear
