yeah
it will work and about lasting a year, if you get some spare parts(cables,bevel gear,clutch pads etc) you could definatly get more than a year out of it. depending on how long and hard you ride. i have goton almost a year from mine and i ride it really really hard. i have had to replace all the cables, and the bevel gear so far, and the spark plug. im beginning to loose compression and will have to get a new top end,new piston and new rings but then i will be good to go. you will NOT get one year of maintenance free use but if you ride it easily and know how to replace small parts than a year is almost definite. also i would choose a diferent vendor. go with zoombicycles.com. thats where i got mine and they have great support!
