Hello, I'm on the verge of shelling out money for this Wildlife Bicycle that is all put together. Some of the advantages I see about it is brakes are good, it has strong frame, lights, rims, and engine shouldn't be a problem with state troopers in MA. I just got it for 400$, not bad for whole thing.

Anybody have any personal experience with this model or company?

Here's the ebay address: Or just google "Wildfire Bicycle 49cc"

Thanks,

I lurk motored bikes on e-bay at least a couple times a week (been doing it for 1.5 years)
first time I have seen this bike
I think that company just started selling mb's
it DOES look like a good deal tho

ps...that looks like livefast's exhaust (kinda unique shape to the silencer)
 
nope its famus in china by the one and only don grubee its the us version of the shotty built honeybee and the engine is a grade 1 type engiine the same that derringer cycles uses which will die in a 4 month period if ridein to hard

and yes it did come out of nowhere on ebay but i would not trust it reason new built grubee kits are now comeing from indonesia
 
wide open

i bought mine in may. $400.from( dealer in columbus,ohio) i run turbo blue (115)
in it sinse day one. ride 40 miles everyday wide open
throttle,it just keeps getting faster. i make sure to
check it over every night before the next morning
comute. i like this bike. rather have an vintage wizzer, but, cannot afford one. if the wildfire motor
blows tomorrow...i'll put an 80cc on the frame. in my
opinian.. its a good deal @ $400.
 
Anyone still like theirs?

I thought about doing a best offer deal on ebay for $400 & then it will cost me $150 to get to my door, im sure they wont take less than that

But not so sure about its build and all.
 
wildfire still burning

i still ride mine on regular basis.
i use 97 octane in it now. shortened
drive chain a few links, removed tension adjuster.
i had to quit running wide open throttle due to
speeding over posted limit . being watched.

Is that chain a problem with all of them?

How hard is it to ride it like a regular bike like pedaling for a wile if i wanted to ride it that way for a wile, then kick in the motor when im tired?

Is it comfortable to ride, is that back rack strong enough for a case or saddle bags for shopping and such?

this particular model appeals to me because its manufactured this way, so legal issues shouldn't be a problem.

adding a speedo a problem?


Thanks
 
i don't know about "all of them "..
just mine .but ,i'd say the tensioner
is a problem for all. not a big job
to shorten chain,sure saves adjusting
everyday.i put metal pedals on mine
the plastic ones was slippery when wet.
it pedals fine like a regular bicycle.lighter than
my schwinn phantom.but, you won't go far
before you fire it up ! its too much fun !!!!
i run saddlebags on mine.carry 64 lbs ...
32lbs per side, daily. i weight 275. although
the manual says 200 max. as for a speed-o,
i'm sure one could be installed . the 2009 model
has one. i don't believe in a speedometer . LOL.
 
Really those must be 2008's on ebay doesnt say there is a speedo, wonder if they improved in any other areas?

200lbs eh? thought it would be more than that

Im 235lbs my self.

as i mentioned erlier how comfortable is it?

about how fast do you get on with that weight?
