Bringing an old Coolster 125cc back to life



Got this Coolster for my son back in 2013 when he was 10 yrs old. He outgrew it and it's been sitting in the weeds. Figured I would pretty it up and sell it.

Peace!

It's weird with these bikes; in some cases it seems like a shame to let them sit out to pasture and never get run again, but the cost to bring them back to glory can run as much as a brand new one!? I am glad to see you getting this one back in order!

I've brought more than one china bike back from the dead and I always appreciate seeing someone else doing the same. I'm more likely to buy a bike grown over with weeds than I am a new one though.
