That looks very cool! I'll have to keep a eye out for one to show up at my local TSC.
Being a...cheap sob, I'd hope to find a couple with the...broke down discount.
My grandsons would love that thing.

I stopped and took a look at one in person today, it's interesting, to say the least. Looks to possibly be a big valve Lifan engine, it has the two-bolt tappet covers. The carb is facing towards the front, with a cheapo cone-shaped paper air filter that will probably get drenched after hitting a puddle on a trail.

The C90 adventures guy did a 6 part series. Watched most of the first one, seems like my kind of chap.

Sad that they are only 3 speeds.

190 anima would for sure be the ticket!

It has reverse..? I think the reverse is in the engine...so a motor swap might not be ideal.
I think I've seen motors on eBay that have reverse.

It has reverse.
In the YouTube series above he swaps a e-start Daytona 190 into it. Then mounts the hand clutch low and uses it as a foot clutch. Didn’t work great. But it looked easy enough to pick it up by the roll bar for reverse.

I bought one for the grand kids. It's way under powered with a 200lb adult. It could defiantly use a gearing change to give it more bottom end power

Very cool!
I'll have to check out some of their other videos too.

My neighbor bought one 2 years ago, it lasted about 2 months, it has been sitting in his back yard for 2 years, I see it has disappeared now, he probably gave it away. Just buy the real thing for the same price. 😄
