Hello all,
Been looking to order a Skyhawk 48CC 2 stroke kit for my daughter who is turning 13 this summer, I figure it’s a great way for her to learn her way around the garage.
At first I had her doing the research and before I knew it she was up to 80CC and still going, so I have opted to do the research and get this thing off the ground.
I have gone through many posts and checked the reviews, it seems my choices are limited as far as 48CC goes and I might end up with a 66CC. But more importantly I am interested in the parts that come with the kits other than the engine, IE: Throttle, Carb, Chain, Kill Switch and so on. I have seen several kits proclaiming premium parts but is the bottom line that they are all the same kits out of China or are these kits assembled by the individual seller?
It would seem that most kits need several parts to be upgraded. So I guess what I am looking for is if a kit costs a few bucks more out of the gate would be better than getting one that has a bunch of useless crap that will need replacement, kind of a pay me now or latter deal.
Example would be GasBike has plenty of cheap kits with base parts, Thatsdax and Spookytoothcycles seem to proclaim better parts . If the latter 2 actually have better accessories I would rather just pony up the bucks now than latter. But that said if it’s all the same I would rather just not give away the extra money just for the fun of it.
Sorry if I have overcomplicated this question I think I have gotten info overload going through the site over the last few weeks trying to get a handle on the project.
So any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rick
