Default Go-Ped! Anybody got one?

Alright guys, as a young kid I had dirtbikes and loved to ride. So, when I saw this American made toy, it brought out the inner kid in me. Yes, it's a toy, just under 50cc's. I'm not going to lie, I'm debating buying one. It's a little pricey, but I've seen where you can buy cranks, piston, ported heads, carbs, sprockets, exhaust, and other parts for these things to get them at a little over 40 mph, with plenty of torque to spare. Fun toy to cruise around the land with, maybe? I doubt any of you guys have them, but I'm a child at heart and this thing just looks fun.

I had one of those once. It was a cheap off road one.. I rode the **** out of it lol. Ended up bending the frame but it probably had over 300 hard miles on it haha.

I knew it'd be a long shot on PerformanceTrucks, but I think the thing just looks too fun. I'm going to do some thinking before I drop $1500, though.

They are neat, but around here cops will nail ya to the wall on them. So I opted for a 50 CC scooter instead.

Looks like fun with the offroad tires on it. When I was a kid, one of the neighbors had 2 of those but they had the normal street small tires on it.

Also, You could build an adult sized gokart with treaded tires and put a bigger engine on it or just mod the engine.

Well, currently, I've still got a Rancher now. My Pops has a Teryx, Mule, and Foreman. I've thought about another dirt bike, but never really a go kart, even though I've seen some badass ones fabbed up. Mangled, what kind of 50cc do you have? Ruckus or anything like that? I'm just looking at it for hitting a few trails on the land for fun.

I wouldn't be caught dead with that **** on the roads. I was thinking more along the lines of, "Let me jump on and ride down to the horse barn."

One of the local guys here put a snowmachine nitrous kit on his. DO IT!!!

Go-ped wheelies at 40 mph.
