You could also find them on offer up as cheap as from a $100 It depends how much you wanna pay they have a lot of nice once I got my is from their $150 What some pretty good modifications and goes up to 27 mph
I used to have one like 14 years ago. I am going to buy the new sport SE or the super gsr later this year for some fun on my downtime haha. They are pretty fun to own if you haven't had one. You just need to run the correct oil to fuel ratio and you are set.
Update: Q and A: (a good year later) Should you get one? Well that depends. I no longer own the go-ped you see in the video. Why? because it tried to kill me. For reasons that I'm still not aware of, the engine red lined during a ride. I took me falling, and a good 30 seconds to shut it off. Looking back at the Go-Ped, and my experiences with it I can't bring myself to recommend one without warning you (the reader) of the risks. These things are fu@ing mad. Tiny wheels, unstable (sometimes unpredictable) handling characteristics, and, a good chance of death. In almost every aspect, a motorcycle (or moped) is safer. I know, Ive tried both. They are fun though.. And cheap. But seriously, helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards. (Do not cheap out on the helmet) umm, also, in the off chance you live in one of the states that has police... they usually don't like these. My final recommendation? Get a moped. Larger wheels, a clutch, dual breaks, shocks. (plus they're legal) Thanks for your comments!
I live in the state of California, really want to have a go ped to ride to work. Is it legal to ride on public street ? Will I get a ticket for riding a go ped ?
i live in california and i recent was given a sitatu=ion however i went to court an the jugde dismissed me.. i wasnt even doing anything wrong beside not riding on a residentail road...
I have one myself its awesome and so much fun . However gotta be careful things no kids toy it has power and is a rougher ride I wrecked on it and I'm a 200 lb man and twisted my tendons in my knee .I do however still ride it be sure to wear some pads and dont underestimate these little scooters
+Randy Ting If you're not the kind of person who likes to repair and tinker, DO NOT buy a goped. If you're still looking for a small fun, easy vehicle, and you have a little bit of money to spend, I HIGHLY recommend a golden eagle bike kit. They're reliable, easy to install, and quiet. Then again so is a regular bike. sad truth is, in NYC, anything with a gas engine that's not registered or insured like a car, will get you in trouble. Goped's are police magnets, especially in larger cites. Keep this in mind. electric bike kits are a good choice, and because they're discreet ( no noise ), the police should have no problem with you riding one. A good one should run you ( with batteries ) around $800. However, you can find em cheap on Craigslist. Though honestly, to me, electric bikes seem to me finicky, and the batteries do, with use expire, then you're stuck spending $300 replacing them. Are you old enough drive? If so, and you're looking for dirt cheap, fun, small transport, get a scooter or moped. Insurance on one of these bad boys: as low as $30 a year. And, better yet, in many states all you need is a learners permit or standard license to operate one. The best part, it's 100% legal.
+Randy Ting Not always. If you buy it new and break it in right you shouldn't have to maintain it other than normal things like air filter, new tires, cleaning the carb, adjusting the pressure of the spindle on the tire, and maybe tightening loose bolts etc...
@Mainnia I have to break mine out the shed and clean it up …my big foot was fully built pipe deck and all …she’s a bit rusty now from sitting in my shed after it got a leak and I didn’t notice
Dude go on davesdiscountmotors.com & buy a clutch kit with the correct spindle for it then it will keep ticking over when you come to a stop 👍 & also upgrade your motor to a 29cc
ha ha yea goped stoppies are a no go. I bought one several years ago that was tricked out and to be fair the ad said "NOT FOR KIDS" lmfao I wasn't a kid but its got way too high a top speed, I have been meaning to replace the spindle to get it down to a more manageable speed. If I had one of the models with the clutch and pneumatic tires I wouldn't mind the speed but running about 30 or so on a sport is sketchier 'n frig.
Good informative review,👌 Your right!! There's nothing at all useful out there! just foreign & silent uploads! FFS 🤬 weird marketing Any chance of making it quiter? Appreciate Asap ...
i own one of these. it would be a great commuter but cops would pull you over about every 100 yards. the truth, the mother fucking truth, is that these are "illegal" to commute on.
Very informative thank you for your video
Thanks for upload.

What engine is this
I wanna buy a new one. but do I constantly have to repair and maintain it? or will a new one last for a while.
if you live in the southern California area I'll sell you mine
I don't. In NYC.

+Cheapguitarguy thanks guys for the tips. learned alot.
What oil ratio do you put in it
1 liter gas tank requires 40 ml of 2 cycle oil
Always go for a goped gsr as you can’t use spindle drives in the wet.!!!!!! Or if u have a spindle driven ped get a clutch system
Thx
what gas/oil ratio should i use?
@Mainnia lol you just brought up so many memories lol I still have the same ped too
@Mainnia I have to break mine out the shed and clean it up …my big foot was fully built pipe deck and all …she’s a bit rusty now from sitting in my shed after it got a leak and I didn’t notice

Good informative review,👌

Any chance of making it quiter?
Appreciate Asap ...
I rigged mine with a chain so u can ride it ez without gas or if sum breaks
You could have just bought a clutch kit for like 30 bucks.
i own one of these. it would be a great commuter but cops would pull you over about every 100 yards. the truth, the mother fucking truth, is that these are "illegal" to commute on.
It is so confused, some people say it is illegal, some people say it is legal. I live in the state of California, is it legal to ride ?
Where did you get 800 from ? Lmfao 😂
+KennethFigueroa www.bikemania.biz/go-ped-gsr-sport-gas-scooter.html
I think the actual price is a little over $800.00
$780 is the price im seeing online he wasn’t off much
