DUDE!!! What!!!??? I love motorcycle sidecars and this one looks B*thcin!! I was sooo excited...and then I saw the price and realized I could buy a 110cc Trail 70 clone with a sidecar and maybe still have a couple hundred left over for the same price lol. That being said the awesome $1600 sidecar link you posted might be affordable for many people who either work a lot more and harder than I do and/or people who have multiple good incomes in their household (I prefer tons of free time, working from home and spending money wisely over making good money but being stuck at work a lot and hardly having time to really enjoy the money)

Enjoy the Ride!

Did you end up fixing or returning the Hellcat or just not using it? How'd whatever the end result was work out for ya?

The Hellcat has been a horror story. Currently, it is still sitting in its shipping container. I filed a claim with Familygokarts. I filed a claim with Saia, the transport company. I filed a dispute with my credit card company. I had a Chinese Motorcycle shop look at the Hellcat. They didn’t remove the bike from the shipping container. Just from the damage they saw, they said it would be a total loss. Plus, with the amount of force the bike took, they think the frame might be bent. They said the liability isn’t worth the cost.

So, what started out as a cool 50th birthday present to myself, has turned into a stressful, time absorbing, headache! I just want my money back and the headache gone.

I’ll post more updates as they happen.

wow Im sorry to hear that. Shipping companies need to care for these bikes better. The shipping frame around my bike took significant damage on one side as did the box. I was lucky the shipping frame bent and was right up against my exhaust but didnt damage it at all. Im sure I could have ended up with a disaster also, especially since my bike shipped form Cali to Connecticut--After shipping from China to God knows where maybe Cali or Canada is where Booms are imported I think.

I hope you are able to resolve that and get your money back

I had often picked up freight from and for these rapid shipping companies i.e. Conway, Ol Dominion Fed Ex etc. Its shocking to see the fork lift drivers zip around with out a bit of consideration to what they're handling. Like they get paid by the piece instead of hourly (union). I am guessing the shipping companies have a sliding scale. Speed and efficiency vs damage claims.
