WTB Mini bike or go cart

[repete]

I'm looking for an old school/style mini bike or go cart for my special needs grandson, he can handle a simple gas and go type bike but nothing fast or any gears to shift. Complete machine preferred as I am already behind on projects but I will consider mostly complete machines. If you have any I can pay in cash or primers/ ammo whatever.

You might want to consider an atv / 4 wheeler. He can ride it off of pavement (and away from cars) nd somenof the smaller ones have governors or remote kill switches if he starts getting too enthusiastic.

Whats your budget? Most of the vintage ones online that are worth a crap are just as much money as the new Colemans and others that are available at the big box stores...Runnings sells minibikes and gokarts, as does Gander Outdoors.

They've been running rampant on the streets of the City of Rochester in the last couple of weeks. You can probably score one cheap - or even free if you manage to knock a shithead off one of them.

I started looking on evilbay and was SHOCKED!! OMG who would've thought an pos mini bike frame would be a couple hundred and a 3.5HP brigs would be another hundred and a another 'c' note for a gas tank and on and on! F@%K that I'll keep an eye out for a 4 wheeler .

I would go with a go kart over ATV, more protection and less skill required to operate. Kart has more safety features (seat belt, cage, low center of gravity). Biggest plus is I can sit next to him and kill motor or grab wheel as required.

My 6yr old:

I've been looking at those at Tractor Supply. Grandkids would love it!

I let my grandson drive the Kubota around the yard today and he loved it, I left it in low gear low range and just walked around with him. It was kinda funny, clutch and brakes in at the same time and out at the same time with NOTHING in between I told him he'd make a fine tractor driver some day and he asked me to rate his drivers 'test', I gave him an 'A'. Now he wants to drive the BIG tractor.

Holy shit! I grew up on one like that, paid $15 for it. Rode it all day every day, beat the shit out of it governor held wide open. Busted the frame a time or 20. Mine didn't have that deluxe seat with shocks. Man, did I have good times on it.
