We just picked up a Catseye midbike for my son so we went out had some fun last night :riding: . I was very impressed with Paxton,s riding ;D. The only complaint from both of us about the midbike was the footpegs scraping the ground going into a turn. I took em off this morning so that shouldnt be a problem anymore. Cant wait to start modding the engine and such :wheelie: . Its got a 49cc 2T, how cool is that? :devil:

Very cool. A Mustang, a scooter, and a midbike all in one vid. Those three things have ruled large portions of my life. Glad Paxton got another cateye. I just shaved the pegs down on mine and it worked well. IIRC raising the exhaust port roof slightly, removing gaskets to bump compression, freeing up the exhaust a little, and aftermarket filter, and a new sprocket (smaller front or larger rear) got one moving quite well for pretty cheap. Is this the CVT or straight geared model? Never understood a CVT back then, mine didn't have one.

Its straight geared. I didnt know they had a cvt model?. We plan on modding it some as we go. I want him comfortable as possible and used to the power as we go. I remember getting a pipe for his last one.

Looks like fun Kids a natural. He's been riding since he was 7? Lucky kid. Im the dad guilty of getting the power wheel before his kid could even walk. So yeah, he has had some toys already lol. My biggest problem was getting them way too early, then selling it if he wouldnt ride it

Heres some more vids from us three last night. Erica and Paxton are both ready for "more power ;D"... Looks like im going to be busy this summer . Of course, im getting their butts out in the shop to learn and help as well. It will be a learning experience for us all. Them, learn more about their rides. Me, learn to work and teach others better. Ive always worked best on my own . Even when i have help i tend to try everything myself out of habit. In this one you can hear me dragging the stand. @1:10 i spin out :dunno:

I think you'd have a race if Paxton had a little more power. I've said this 1,000,000 times now, but I just figured I'd let you know I'm still jealous of your wheelie abilities. Doing it on a slow stock scoot is really just being mean and rubbing it in. :laugh:
