They can always ask, but it's not likely that they'll get $350 for a China buggy with no forward gear.

katoranger · 12-12-2013, 11:16 AM

I am not going to pay that. Thinking about $200. They still have it and its been a few weeks since saw that ad.

Weldangrind · 12-12-2013, 11:18 AM

What is it powered by? I have some horizontal motor stuff that you're welcome to. Perhaps enough to fix the forward gear issue.

I believe it has a 150cc GY6. Not sure on the forward/reverse setup yet. Trying to research it. Also need to measure the big blue van to see if it will fit in the back.

Good score, if it's a GY6. The planetary reverse setup is still available online, and it bolts to the output shaft, right where the rear wheel bolted on your Elite.

I think finding the parts will be easy. My plan is to go will some cash and see what they say.

Its possible that something simple is broken or stuck. My be a zero dollar fix.

My wife didn't balk. Plan is to go look tomorrow night. Its about 30 minutes away.

Good luck, Allen.

Need to fill the van up with oil for the trip. Thinks its a 2 stroke.

I love it when the CFO is in a good mood.

I only plan to go with $200. We will see if there is any room to negotiate.

Back to China riding. One Vision Razor z2150r buggy made the trip home in the back of the van. I showed up and it started right up. Everything works. ( I even got it to go forward.) $320 with new battery, sparkplug and air filter. Has aluminum wheels and good tires too.

He took the cage off to fit it into the van. We took it for a rip around the yard. I think the CVT is sticking in a higher ratio. Not much low end grunt. The cable for the shifter is stretch and needs adjusting and the positive battery cable terminal is loose.

Lights and horn work.

I think I will start a new thread on this buggy.
