Heading to Uwharrie today to test the Hawks mettle. I will hopefully take some pictures and report back on how she did. If I don't make it back in will report that too.

Update, gas tank started leaking before I made it. Weld broke where the pet cocktail is attached. Not liking my China bike right now!😣😣😣

Sorry to hear about the tank & the lost adventure. Glad it didn't happen to far in to the trip though.

Sorry to hear about your weld failure. Are you going to repair it or get it replaced under warranty? I would do both and keep the new one as a back up/replacement for the future.

Already sent request and pictures for warranty. Ended up buying a 250 honda 4 wheeler and still had fun.

So had a "welder" repair the tank, it's still leaking. It looks like it spider cracked when the original weld let go. Still haven't heard from power sports max. Unfortunately ordering get one from RPS.

let me know next time. I'll try to make it over there with you.

Glad/happy to report no problems. Made it 3 plus hours and not a problem. The tao is a 110. It was my 9 year olds first time. Welded tank and epoxy. Going in August. Will try and give you a heads up sportrider.
