Hi and welcome to SaveOnDirtBikes.com, where you are going to find dirt bikes, mini-dirt bikes, pocket bikes, super pocket bikes go carts and mini-choppers for some of the best prices, if not the cheapest prices found anywhere. You can literally get a brand new bike that is Honda compatible in all parts, for less than half the price you'd get a brand name dirt bike. In fact, a friend of mine told me he paid $2000 for the Honda he bought for his kid and that was a few years ago. A considerable difference in price than for instance the $530 auto clutch found below.
Items are shipped from Cal but I do have several models on hand here at my location in Stanley Ks, if you happen to have read my ad in one of the local papers. Prices are marked lower at my house because although I still have to pay shipping to have them sent to my location, the cost is less to ship a quantity of bikes than to ship them separately. However the warranty that comes with the bikes thru the manufacturer is void 30 days after I receive the bikes regardless of whether they get sold in that amount of time. *see second to last paragraph for more on this.
Parents and Kids please take
note: (continued at bottom of this page)
Safety first because your judgment is non-existent at that age!
Perhaps that sounds lame, but did you know that it is a medical fact that the
part of the brain which has to do with judgment (such as .. hmm, should I try to
ride my bike up that ramp my friend made using that Styrofoam cooler lid that he
laid over that large rock? ... hmmm): that part of the brain is not formed until
well into the 20s so its not hard to understand why kids do some of the dumb
things they do (so give 'em a break Mom and Dad, its not their fault :). That
said Kids: in the case of riding, the mistakes are possibly life and death
consequences so you must make yourself be aware; so now
armed with the knowledge that you will likely make bad judgments: always error
to the side of caution. Meaning if
you're not sure; don't do it! Have fun, ride responsible, both you
and your bike will live to enjoy it again and again. One last
time: tighten all bolts and screws as they will become loose after riding,
especially at first - SO CHECK AFTER EACH TIME YOU RIDE!
Prices picked up are roughly $100 to $150 (on average) less than seen on this website.

These are great bikes for ...
- beginners who will likely want to upgrade soon, and the parents don't care to have to buy 2 really expensive bikes so they'll let the youngster start out on one of these cheaper models
- a second bike to have around for when friends come over
- family situations because you can afford to buy more than just one bike. The only thing more fun than one bike is having another one for a friend or sibling to ride.
- want to give a gift that makes you look like a million for only a few hundred?
The bikes sold on this site are very affordable but definitely are not made for any kind of extreme, stunt or trick riding and it is my opinion that they will likely not hold up to such treatment. However for riding from point A to point B across a pasture or down a trail, they are quite adequate. They are a fantastic deal because they will do anything you'd expect from a brand name bike; as long as you don't push them to extremes.
I am told all the parts are Honda compatible for their respective knock-off counterparts but in the time I have owned them, ... some now 2 years old ... I've never had a need to replace anything but an inner tube and we ride all the time. I have (5) and counting friends of my children, .. what seems anyway to be a dozen of the little rug rats around here at almost any given time. That said, you can imagine how much time the bikes get used.
For me, it just didn't make sense to pay $1500 for a bike that I could get for $650, even taking into consideration the fact that I knew the bike was an inferior knock-off of a brand name bike. And when I got to reading around on the internet, it didn't take me long to find out that many of the brand name bikes now have electric systems which are way out of my league.
I decided even if I am an able-bodied "parts changer" - I'm certainly not going to be able to do some of the stuff I read about in the discussions in the bike forums. Even if I thought I could figure it out; ... well consider this - if I have a choice of buying one bike for $600, or buying its brand name counterpart for $1400, ... then I could literally afford to throw away the cheap bike and buy another one to replace it; for a cost cheaper than the $1400 I'd otherwise have had to initially invest.
I'm more inclined to take option "B" where I get another new bike already 95% assembled, which is clean and easy to work on, than to take option "A" where I find myself fighting to either do the greasy, knuckle-busting engine work myself, or else pay somebody about $50 an hour to do it. Then there's the cost of replacement parts, getting the bike to and from the mechanic, the down time, etc.
Its not all glitter and gold however. While I do think the knock-offs are a better deal, they do have their drawbacks besides what I've already mentioned, and I'm going to tell you about them now. The bikes seem to be in my opinion made out of a softer metal than what you get from a brand name bike. So far, it has been my experience that I have been able to bend back any parts which were bent in accidents such as both the brake and the gear shift, though I certainly do not guarantee you will be as lucky. All I can do is to be honest with you about my experience with these bikes and that way you can make an educated decision on whether they are right for your situation. The inner tubes for the tires seem to wear out rather quickly, but you can get replacements for them fairly easily. Personally I order them off the net from JC Whitley (link to be added when I find time).
Please note that you may experience a problem where you are tempted to force the part into proper action. That would be a big mistake. The parts on these bikes are made out of a cheaper metal than what you may be used to seeing, and they will break. That said, it is always wiser to never try to force a part to do something, even if it is something that you know won't break. These are mechanical parts which are made to work in unison together and if for some reason they stop working in harmony together, you are not likely going to find satisfaction by trying to force anything. Stop and use your head and GENTLY begin figuring out where the problem lies and then fix it accordingly.
Over all, I think you will be as excited as I was to have saved as much money as you're going to save and still be satisfied with the bike you receive. That's why I started selling these products, because I believe in their value for the money you're spending.
* In my opinion that isn't really that big of a deal because the warranty is only going to be financially advantageous if you were to receive a bike that was totally crap. In other words, the warranty only covers the bike, not the shipping. So if you had to send it back the cost of shipping the bike is going to severely eat away at making it a wise financial move to ship the bike back. Now with that said: I've now received over 50 bikes and have never got one that needed to be replaced, and I'm confident nobody else will either. But I felt I should make you aware of the situation. *If you pick up a bike from my home I will guarantee it long enough to give you time to get it home and put together to see if it is working correctly. All bikes come 90% assembled (front tire, gear shift need to be put on, handle bars tightened up into place. No wiring assemblage or anything tough like that.
Parents and kids please take note continued: I would take this op to first stress to you how important it is that your riders are properly clothed and helmeted, and that to further ensure your riders stay safe, as well as have a bike that will last and give them the kind of love affair with riding that I have always known: that you sit your riders down and tell them in no uncertain terms that if they truly like their new bike, and want it to last; that they absolutely must follow this advice
- to know upfront that you purposely bought them a bike which you know will not take extreme riding, or for that matter much of any kind of abuse what-so-ever. So if they want to be able to keep riding then it would be extremely stupid to not follow every word of advice below ...
1- always wear proper gear and helmet
2- always slow down when turning
3- basically not to beat the bike with unnecessary stresses like riding too fast especially over rough terrain or of course, crashing the bike because it is almost sure to not come out of that kind of treatment unharmed.
4- always check fluid levels before riding (especially oil because if it runs out of that, the bike engine is ruined).
5- always slow the bike acceleration completely when shifting to preserve clutch (a must!)
6- you will get out of these bikes exactly the way you treat them. push them too hard they will break. Coddle them like they were your baby and they will last you as long as you could ever hope.
7- Expect this and plan for it. Always remember that because these are not brand name bikes, that things where the manufacturer could save money, are the things that are going to break first. for instance, the first thing I learned was that the inner tubes are cheaply made (the hard way of course), but since then, I keep quality inner tubes on hand so that when the cheap ones break, I can replace and move on. I suggest the same to you. Other things that you might see break are small bolts such as those used in holding on the handlebar grips ( I broke one when I tightened them too hard, so I thought I'd mention it) or perhaps screws used to hold the brake reserve in its place. Small stuff like that. All easy stuff to fix and live with,.... IF you are diligent about maintaining your bike. Let a screw or bolt fall off and sooner or later the thing it is holding in place will get damaged or ruined completely. Completely avoidable if you approach riding in a responsible and aware manner. This diligence also will pay-off "Big Time" in the amount of times it will have saved you from injury. However because it will be done as precaution, you will never know to what extent.
