FunBikes Mini Dirt Bike - KXD 50 - KTM Orange - 2011 Model

2011-09-19T08:34:00.000-07:00

People looking for an adrenaline rush should check out the 2011 FunBikes KXD 50. This is considered a mini dirt bike, so it would be an excellent way for people to learn how to ride before moving up to an actual dirt bike. However, even if people have an interest in ever riding a full-size dirt bike, they will still create memories that last a lifetime on this bike. The nice thing about these bikes is that they are substantially safer than a full sized bike, for a number of reasons:

Not as fast as a full sized bike, mini dirt bikes have a 50cc engine, where as full sized bikes can have up to 250ccs.
Size difference, mini dirt bikes are smaller making them easier to control

Several changes have been made to the 2011 model, all of which enhance the rider's experience. The first change is a brand new frame design and upside forks, which allows the bike to handle even better. Also added is an adjustable rear shock absorber, which allows riders to adjust how the bike responds to different terrains. Another addition is an extended rear swinging arm, which helps to protect the suspension on rough terrain. A new design big bore exhaust system was also added, which gives the bike a tougher sound. The bike also features a 3m graphics kit, which allows the bike to look like it belongs to a professional. When starting the mini dirt bike, a turbo alloy pull starter prevents riders from having to hassle with a kick starter. A fully enclosed chain allows the rider to remain protected during their adventure. However, if they should run into problems, they can easily shut of the engine, via the rocker style kill switch. Also upgraded is the bike to factory oversized 10 inch reinforced wheels, mounted inside of the aggressive motocross tyres. Wavy disc brakes, combined with reinforced brake levers, attached to the chrome handlebars, makes it possible to quickly stop the bike.

This bike is available here at FunBikes, and would be excellent for anyone, who is ten years old and up. The bike has a maximum weight capacity of 50KG. This bike is very affordable, with a price of just £215.00. Everyone is sure to have a blast on this bike and they will find the transition into a full-sized bike will be much easier.

Here at FunBikes one of our best choices for off-road buggies would be the HammerHead Super Sport 250cc.

One feature of this year's model is the SOHC water-cooled engine, which cools the engine substantially faster the air. This engine is also very powerful, because it is capable of reaching speeds of 60 miles per hour. Now, people may not think 60mph is very fast, but they will think twice when they experience those speeds in a buggy. This buggy also features a performance exhaust system, which gives the ride a mean sound and a better performance. A three speed transition, with high, low and reverse is standard on this model, which allows drivers to focus on having fun and not constantly shifting gears. Drivers can monitor their speed records, thanks to the digital speedometer. The digital speedometer is also a safety feature, because drivers will not have to look for the needle. A roof canopy will protect riders from weather elements, which will allow them to ride in a variety of conditions.

An additional feature to the buggy is that a 12 volt socket is mounted in the dashboard, to allow riders to charge devices such as their mobile phone. Outside of the buggy, riders will find alloy wheels with gold effect hubs, which provides for an awesome appearance.

Pit Bike Spares

2010-12-10T07:46:00.000-08:00

Originally pit bikes were used for moving around the staging area or pit of motocross races (hence the name), however, since 2001 pit bikes gained a racing class of their own. The Honda Z50 was the original pit bike for accessing pit facilities during racing events. In 2001, a popular dirt bike movie, Crusty Demons of Dirt 3, depicted how the Z50 pit bike could jump bicycle ramps. Honda meanwhile was revamping the Z50 model to XR50 which sported a plastic fuel tank, single rear shock absorber, spoke wheels, and the redesign of frame and appearance.

As the popularity of pit bike motocross grew, business interests began upgrading aftermarket parts to make the pit bike more comfortable and powerful for heavier riders. Some of the parts include heavy duty suspensions, tall handlebars, larger seats, and big bore kits.

Kawasaki created the KLX110 in 2002 for the adult rider and had a greater top speed than the Honda XR50. Since it was created for the adult rider, it does not require the upgrades as the Honda, making it more economical and popular among the motocross enthusiasts. The sport now has pit bike race series throughout the United States. The leading contender in this series is Derek Costella, 2 time champion of the MiniMoto SX.

Production pit bikes became available in 2003 when the SDG Speed Mini was introduced by Xtreme Motor Corporation. In late 2004 USA Motortoys imported a bike called the Pitster Pro. Other companies currently offering pit motocross bikes are SDG Pit Bikes, SSR Motorsports, G2 Moto, Motovert TDK, and Piranha. Aftermarket parts are available for these bikes, too, from Fun Bikes.

Fun Bikes has an Internet based catalog (http://www.funbikes.co.uk/sc-Pit_Bike_Spares-14-0.aspx Pit bike) with a large selection of aftermarket parts for motocross pit bikes such as:
• Air filters
• Bearings
• Brake Calipers, pads, and disks
• Chains and sprockets
• Engine casings and covers
• Exhaust parts
• Gear levers and kick starts
• Pistons, rings, and cylinder heads
• Suspension frames and forks
• Wheels, tires, and inner tubes
The range of pit bike performance parts, spares and accessories makes Fun Bikes specialist suppliers of spare and performance parts for pit bikes. Free delivery and fast order filling makes our parts available to the motocross enthusiast within 24 hours in most situations.

FM Moto 110cc Kids Quad Bike

Are you looking for a awy of getting the kids away from the x-box and television, and needs something that is exciting enough to do the trick, than the FM Moto 110cc Kids Quad Bike bike will give you children many days of fun and adventure and will give you the memories of watching your child learn to ride and control a motorized vehicle in a safe, but exciting manner.

The FM Moto is a great off-road vehicle for your kid, providing the thrill and fun associated with this type of vehicle, combined with the quality and safety built in that will ease your mind as a parent. The FM Moto is powered by a 110cc 4 stroke Loncin engine. Operating the FM Moto could not be any simpler as there are no gears or shifting involved. You just hit the accelerator and off you go. This vehicle has numerous great safety features engineered into it. The front wheels are wider than most other quad bikes, which gives an increase in stability when maneuvering around corners, making the bike much less likely to flip over. Another important safety feature in this bike is the newly-revised suspension system which has replaced the traditional oil-based shock absorbers with new state-of the art gas-filled models. This provides much more absorption of the shocks and jolts associated with off-road quad bike riding and lessens the wear and tear on both the bike and the rider. One final very important safety feature on the FM Moto is the built in parental safety tether. This system allows an observing parent to pull a tether and immediately shut off the engine if their child is riding into a dangerous situation they may not be fully aware of or is driving the quad bike in a dangerous or reckless manner.

So, for a top-quality, reliable quad bike at a great price, look no further than the FM Moto 110cc Kids Quad Bike.

Pit Bike Popularity Grows and Grows

2010-08-11T04:19:00.000-07:00

As we have discussed on our blog before, the pit bike has an interesting history – from its early incarnation as a simple push bike with a small engine attached it has evolved in power, design and popularity to become a sport and a discipline in its own right.

Originally used in the pit areas of race tracks across America (hence ‘pit’ bike) as a quick and easy way of getting around, their popularity has taken off since the late 1990s as people realised that this type of bike had much more potential than just being used as a run around. Honda renamed their famous Z50 to XR50, modified it slightly to be more suitable for racing, and the pursuit of pit bike design perfection was on.

Since these early days, pit bike races and meets have popped up all over the UK and USA and their popularity has grown enormously. A quick internet search will show the level of interest in pit bikes and mini motos (along with increased interest in all things off road, including dirt bikes, buggies and quads), as clubs, organisations, race meetings and parts suppliers abound, along with discussion forums about everything from last night’s meet to new bike designs and developments. The fact that there are pit bike pros touring the US circuits now making a living purely out of race money and sponsorship shows the level of growth that has taken place in the industry over the past few years, with sponsors obviously feeling comfortable that they will get a decent return on in investing in the discipline’s most talented stars.

There are a variety of fully-fledged pit bike or mini moto racing series in the US, but the biggest event of the year is the Las Vegas Mini Supercross, where the pros pit their wits against each other (no pun intended!) in an effort to outshine their rivals. In the UK there are no big pit bike events as such to date (although there are hundreds of local tracks and events regularly across the country), but as the popularity of the sport continues to increase it is only a matter of time until the industry becomes big enough to support a full-on national race meeting.

So if this is a sport you like the look of, now is definitely the right time to get involved as the industry looks set to grow and grow.

Off Road Buggies

2010-08-10T07:15:00.000-07:00

Off road buggies are exactly what they sound like: small four-wheeled vehicles specially made to travel off road, for those who want to inject a shot of adrenaline into their leisure time activities. It is also possible to buy beach buggies and dune buggies, the main difference being in the size and tread of the tyres.

So what sizes and shapes do off road buggies come in?

Off road buggies come in sizes to suit everybody. There are kids’ buggies like the Funbikes Shark Micro RV, for example, suitable for younger children (but too small for Dad!) who want to take a buggy around the garden and experience their very first off road thrill. We have the Mini Warrior 110cc for those children ten and up who can handle a little more power; with a 7.4 litre engine and a top speed of over 35mph, it is the fastest single seater in its class. Then at the top end of the range we have goliaths like the Hammerhead Super Sport 250cc. This monster is fully kitted out and road-legal in the whole of the EEC. One of the fantastic adult dirt buggies offered by Funbikes, with a performance exhaust and an SOHC tuned water cooled engine, this is the off roader's dream.

Those lucky enough to have tried off roading in a buggy like one of these before will no doubt be pumped even at the prospect of seeing one of these fine machines again, never mind getting in their very own and going for a spin around the local track!

With such versatility across the buggies and their intended audiences, purchasing one of our off road buggies represents an investment into fun, family and sociability.

So come on, get involved in something the whole family can do together and have a look at our range of off road buggies!

2010-04-26T08:04:00.000-07:00

KXD have a brand new mini dirt bike for 2010 and it’s here at funbikes!

The designers have been working hard on improving their already excellently styled bikes and have taken the very latest KTM styling as their inspiration for the new KXD mini dirt bike.
The body styling isn’t the only thing that has had a redesign. The rear shock absorbers and upside front forks have had a full makeover and improvements made, as well as a newly design big bore exhaust system.

Other features added, include; a fully enclosed chain, a restrictable throttle, a rocker style kill switch, and an reinforced alloy pull starter. The tyres have also been upgraded to a more knobbly motocross tyre with factory oversized 10 inch reinforced steel wheels.

So what makes this KXD so good?

Such features as a fully automatic rev and go engine certainly help, especially with younger ones, that have never ridden a mini motorbike before, but also unlike some other bikes on the market, this one meets full CE safety approval.

Great fun for older kids and adults, the KXD Mini Dirt Bike, is best suited for gentle off road use. It’s one of the best fun products we have seen for a long time. It’s simple to ride, easy to maintain. The bike maybe small, but the KXD delivers big fun.

Quad Bike’s For Recreation

2010-01-08T03:21:00.000-08:00

The average holiday or weekend away may involve a trip to the seaside or hotel resort, lounging around the pool or on the beach and generally doing as little as possible to recharge your batteries. However, if you are the more active type and want a more challenging vacation, then a quad tour may be what you are looking for.

The quad bike was developed to be able to handle the sort of rough terrain that the average vehicle can’t cope with. It is believed that the first all terrain vehicle was developed by Honda and was a 3 wheeled version, which was intended to help with a boost in sales for dealers when the winter months came. Over the years the safety and handling of all terrain vehicles has improved and now the more familiar 4 wheeled version is used all over the world. The quads were commonly used on farmlands and for work purposes, however, it didn`t take long for the adrenaline junkies to discover the fun side to the vehicles. With the quad bike being easy to get to grips with, there is no reason why the whole family shouldn`t enjoy the recreational uses of the quad bike.

Quad tours and the recreational use of the quad is now becoming a popular activity on adventure holidays and the locations available for a quad tour are vast. How does a tour to see the Taupo Volcanic region in New Zealand or a scramble through the woodlands of Wales or Scotland sound?

If you are thinking about the purchase of a quad for recreational use then why not check out our range of quad bike s and accessories available on our funbikes website or contact us on 0844 8730307 for more information.

Unsure what to buy the kids for Christmas? A pair of socks, jumper or gift voucher? Well how about an Off-Road Buggy?
The start of off-roading as a hobby began after WWII, when there was a huge surplus of light off-road vehicles such as the Jeep. The Jeep became really popular as a utility vehicle and it was here that recreational off-roading began. To be able to drive off pavement, off-road vehicles have to have several characteristics. They need to have low ground pressure to prevent sinking, this is helped by the characteristic chunky tyres and good ground clearance to go over any obstacles the driver may come across.
Well now these features are available in the kids version of the Off-Road Buggy. Similar to their big brother counterparts, these modern vehicles come with electric start keyed ignition, automatic transmission and even a reverse gear. If your concerned about safety the buggies come with seatbelts, roll bar and kill switch which enables the engine to be shut off quickly in the event of an emergency. They are highly engineered with a high stress strong frame to make a robust and reliable vehicle.
Currently the fastest single seater in it`s class is the Mini Warrior (see above picture). With a 110cc 4 stroke engine and speeds capable of over 35mph it is sure to give anyone a thrilling ride. Prices start around £999, which includes full assembly, pre-delivery check test and UK mainland delivery, go on give the children a Christmas present that they will never forget!

A Beginners Guide to Pit Bikes and Mini Motos

2009-06-03T08:22:00.000-07:00

For those new to the world of mini bikes, a pit bike is a small motorbike - originally used for travelling between the pits on race tracks. Today, they have gained popularity for being great fun, easy to ride motorcycles, often used in racing. Pit bikes started off life in the 60s before going through several design improvements to end up with the versatile bikes of today. Pit bikes are ideal for areas where space is a limiting factor, in addition to being much cheaper than an equivalent off-road full size motorbike.

These bikes vary in size and specifications, starting from as little as 4-5HP up to around 20HP. The 2-Stroke engines are high revving allowing for quick acceleration, which more than makes up for their lack of top speed (which does not make them suitable for road use). Their exceptionally small frame and lower power output make them ideal for kids wanting to have a go on a motorbike. The acceleration, simplicity and relative cheapness are what make these bikes so very fun to ride and has earned them their popularity today.

When choosing which bike to buy, it is important that the buyer ask themselves what they intend to use the bike for, i.e. serious racing, fun days, for kids etc. Pit bikes primarily differ in the power they offer, typically the more the more power a bike has to offer the more expensive it will be. A more expensive bike is also likely to have higher quality and more resilient parts, meaning the rider could ride it harder than a cheaper model.

Any newly purchased bike will come with an instruction manual from the manufacturer, it is imperative that the owner pay close attention to the startup procedures, run-in checks and maintenance guides. These will ensure the bike retains its top power levels as well as ensuring reliability. Mini bikes do not run on straight fuel, usually they will require mixing with specific oil in the ration of 25 parts fuel to 1 part oil, this is essential to ensure the engine is not damaged. Certain parts on these bikes can wear very quickly (many parts are designed like this purposefully) and so it is essential the owner become familiar with the functions of their bike and feel comfortable working on it. Fortunately, parts and spares for pit bikes are cheap compared to the equivalent for full size bikes.

Hopefully anybody thinking about buying a pit bike or mini moto has found this guide useful and will now feel more confident about their purchase. For those who already own a mini bike, you will find a wide choice of pit bike spares and parts at our online shop.

The History of Early Pit Bikes

2009-03-27T08:29:00.000-07:00

Pit bikes have a long and interesting history, the extent of which is likely not known by most riders. The pit bike, mini moto and similar all stem from the humble beginnings of the bicycle. Original mini bikes were nothing more than scaled down push bikes with small engines attached, most commonly a Briggs or Stratton delivering up to 5BHP! Being based on a push bike, these bikes lacked a formal breaking system (a simple mechanism which would rub on the tyre when activated was used) and totally lacked suspension. These early bikes were made and used by engineers in the pits at race tracks (hence 'pit bike'), providing a quick way of getting around - far from suitable for the track! Though a far cry from today's designs, these bikes laid the blueprint from which later models would be built upon.

It would be some time before a bike resembling a pit bike as we know it would be released. An important milestone in motorcycle history, the Honda Super Cub 50 began the revolutionary rise in popularity of the Japanese motorcycle, with production reaching millions of units - the Honda became incredibly popular in the United States. Despite not being a pit bike by any means, the Honda did lay further ground work for mini bikes to come, being designed around the same 4-stroke engine many use today.

Arguably the bike that started the revolution - the four-stroke engined Honda Z50 Mini Trail (AKA the 'Monkey Bike'). In addition to being the first Honda bike made to be used off-road, this bike had many design features which led to it's popularity in the US and around the world. It could be stored easily in a truck or trailer for easy transportation, and throughout the Z series life saw many design updates and improvements. Pit bike parts for this bike and other models were freely and cheaply available, making them an ideal run-around.

Modern bikes have not strayed far away from early designs, with major differences being longer wheelbases, suspension and taller handlebars as well as improved breaking systems. These changes have allowed adults to comfortably and safely ride and also increase the durability of what these bikes can tolerate.

So there you have it, a quick recap of where today's modern pit and mini moto bikes have developed from. Hopefully you've learned something! ;-)

Mini Moto Maintenance

2009-02-26T05:38:00.000-08:00

As a continuation of our guide to mini motos, today's post will be dealing with the maintenance of your mini moto and how to keep it it in good working order.

Knowing what actions to take and how often to keep your bike running is essential to ownership. Some general pointers to mention first:

Read the manual! This cannot be stressed enough. The manual will be your first port of call for diagnosing any problems with your bike. Using the manual, help to familiarise yourself with the locations of the parts of your bike. Take heed of any precautions or special routines you must do before first running your bike.
Mini Motos will not run on straight petrol, you will need to make a mix of petrol with special two stroke engine oil at a ratio of 25:1. Failure to do so can cause a lot of damage to your engine. Have some pre-mixed to take with you when riding your moto.
Having at least a basic working knowledge of your mini moto will help you to diagnose and prevent problems. If possible, have someone with experience on hand to help you work on your moto.
Know how to properly start your mini moto. Not following the correct start up procedure could result in damage or premature wear to certain parts. Read your manual for the correct procedure.

Prevention is better than cure, as the saying goes. Therefore it makes sense to have regular check ups of certain parts and systems on your mini moto. We have outlines some maintenance checks below which you should find useful.

Very frequently, ideally before every ride, you should be checking the following:

Check all cables, especially the brakes. Are there any signs of fraying or corrosion? Are they taught? If you suspect any problems replace the cable as soon as possible.
Brakes; do they feel worn? Has any mud or other debris got onto the braking surface? Don't forget to check the brake leavers also, are they correctly adjusted according the manual.
Are all the nuts and bolts sufficiently tight? A loose nut or bolt could be potentially dangerous. Do not over tighten.
Check the tyre pressure. Under inflated tyres will wear the tread quickly. Mini moto tyres are very small and so wear qucikly and need to be monitored closely.
Clean your air filter; dry it thoroughly again before use.
Last but not least, wash your moto regularly. Debris, dirt and mud getting into mechanical parts can prevent them from working properly and decrease their working life.

Less frequently, but still on a regular basis:

Clean your chain properly, then lube it with good quality oil. This will help keep your ride smooth and extend the working life your mini moto chain and sprockets.
Remove and clean out any debris from the carburetta.
Look at and check the steering and engine bolts, make sure they are tight and secure. Also, check your wheel and steering bearings to see if they are worn.
Check the clutch pads, adjust the clutch accordingly if necessary.

These pointers along with any other specifics mentioned in the manual should help you to get the most out of your mini moto. If you need to replace any parts we stock a range of mini moto spares on our website.

Mini Moto Guide

2009-01-21T06:19:00.000-08:00

To assist those who already own a mini moto, or for those looking to purchase in the future, we are providing a short guide for those new to this exciting world of mini motos!

An introduction to Mini motos:
Mini motos are scaled down racing bikes, between 15 and 18 inches high and weighing between 15 and 25kg. Mini moto racing is a popular sport for both children and adults. They can be a lot of fun to ride, and offer relatively cheap thrills when compared to a car or motorcycle. Despite looking like toys, they are fully functional and need to be used with the proper safety precautions, covered later.

They come in two sizes, mini and midi motos. There is no formal distinction between either, however midis are normally around 10% bigger than minis. Due to this, many people prefer the extra comfort and features offered by a midi, although there is a trade off in agility.

Technical features:
For those who do not yet own a mini moto, we have compiled and listed some interesting facts that you may find useful:

The average max speed of a mini moto is about 39MPH. This is one reason why mini motos should not be used on the road (unless privately owned).
Despite having a low max speed, motos are tuned to give lots of low down power and instant acceleration, which can come as a surprise to some!
Mini motos are rear wheel driven by a chain connected to an axle.
They will fit in most average sized family cars such as an estate or 4x4.
Mini motos will not run purely on common unleaded petrol alone, a mixture of 50 parts petrol to 1 part oil is required (30:1 before running the engine in).
All mini moto bikes are automatic (a twist throttle on one side of the handlebar and brake on the other).

They are capable of carrying up to an average weight man safely.
Many aftermarket upgrades and spares are available. We at Fun Bikes stock mini moto spares

Safety precautions:

As with other motor vehicles, mini motos can be dangerous; you will need to wear the necessary safety equipment and clothing. Here is an overview of what you will need:
Firstly and most importantly, a well fitting, good quality motorcycle helmet.
Standard motorcycle gloves, flexible and armoured.
Full body motorcycle leathers, or if possible, a specifically designed mini moto suit.
For knee protection when cornering, knee sliders are essential.
Good motorcycle boots.
Kids will need their own protective safety jacket.

If being used regularly, it is a good idea to take mini moto spares around with your bike such as sprockets, foot pegs and brake pads, as well spare fuel, type pressure gauge and tool kit. Hopefully you have found these tips to be useful, if you need more advice in choosing your next mini or midi moto, please contact the team at Fun Bikes.

Quad Bike Buying Tips

2009-01-14T01:35:00.000-08:00

Deciding on which Quad Bike to purchase can be quite a headache, features and specifications vary widly from bike to bike. To assist in the buying process, we have come up with a list of some useful pointers;

Firstly, where is the quad going to be used; off-road, on-road or both. This is very important to know. If the bike is primarily for road use, it may not be necessary to have a bike with four wheel drive (this will affect fuel consumption and overall cost). You may find an automatic gearbox more appropriate for road use; a manual gearbox will suit off-roading as it allows finer control of power being used.

Choosing engine size will depend on where the bike is going to be used. For on-road use, a bike with a larger engine capacity may be easier to use as torque will be higher, making more power available lower down the rev range. This would provide more pull and a smoother experience on the road, where comfort is important.

Who will be riding the bike? If it is for a child, the bike should have the physical dimensions to suit a child, as well as a small engine size, such as our FunBike Mini Quad range. The specifications for the bike should include the carrying capacity; this will be a good guide as to whether the bike is suitable for an adult or child.

For children, the quad bike should have an enclosed foot-well for added protection.

If possible, ideally test-drive a range of bikes that you or your child is interested in. Check that it is comfortable, is fit for the intended purpose, and suits your riding abilities.

Make sure spare parts are readily available for your model. We sell a full range of Quad Bike spares for our Bikes.

Hopefully you will find these tips useful when it comes to purchasing a Quad Bike. Please check our range of Quad Bikes for the latest deals and offers. Contact us if you need any further assistance.

Unleash The Beast! The 250cc Warrior Water-Cooled Buggy

2008-12-19T03:51:00.000-08:00

Have you had plenty of with experience with beginners’ buggies and now feel you’re ready to move onto something a little more rugged? If this is you, then introducing the Warrior 250cc water-cooled Buggy. Designed for serious off-road thrills, this buggy comes equipped with everything you will need to face the beaten track.

The Warrior 250cc off road buggy comes fully equipped for a serious off-road experience. This buggy comes equipped with mud tyres. The heavy duty treading gives this buggy excellent traction in the muddiest conditions, meaning this buggy will be ready for anything. The Warrior also features headlights making it suitable for low light or other poor visibility conditions.

The additional power in this buggy makes it ideal for those experienced with less powerful models. To complement the larger engine, you will also find a liquid cooling and discs breaks on the front and rear wheels for decreased stopping times. For additional protection, there is also a four point safety harness and a safety net covering the buggy. Safety first! You may want to consider some additional protective clothing, such as a crash helmet. Goggles should be the minimum requirement if driving in muddy conditions. This bike would not be suitable for a child to ride alone.

How does it ride? This off-road buggy has been tuned to offer lots of low down power with lots of torque, which coupled with the mud tyres makes it excellent for difficult terrain. Though not designed for top speed, the Warrior will manage 60+ MPH, more if appropriate tyres are fitted.

Others quality features of this buggy include the rack and pinion steering offering simple and accurate turning capabilities, automatic transmission (including reverse) for ease of use, and upgraded suspension to soak up the toughest of terrains. These improvements will make the Warrior much easier to traverse over difficult terrain than other less versatile models. The ignition is operated using a key, a more conventional method.

All these features combine to create one very capable off-road buggy which we think most agree would be a lot of fun! If you need any more advice on choosing a buggy or other equipment, feel free to contact us and we will do our best to advise you.

Quad Bikes for Christmas - Have fun but be Safe!

2008-11-14T04:31:00.000-08:00

Many kids and even adults may be hinting at a quad bike this Christmas, and who can blame them they are great fun. However, while quad bikes are fun it is important to remember to ride safely and responsibly.

There are currently no safety regulations in place governing the use of protective clothing with quad bikes and there is no requirement for training.

One regulation that is in place is where you can use quad bikes. Quad bikes can be used off road on private land with the permission of the landowner. Most standard quads come with off road tyres, which mean they are not suitable for road use. It is also illegal to ride quads on public roads if you are under the age of 16.

The law states that quad bikes can only be used on public roads if you:

Are over 16 years of age
Wear an approved helmet
Have road tax
Have a driving license to use a moped (16 years old) or motorcycle (17 years old)
Have insurance
Take a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT)
Ensure the bike has lights, a number plate, horn, speedometer and sufficient tread on the tyres (I.e. road legal tyres)
Have an MOT if the bike is over three years old.

At Funbikes we believe in promoting safety and common sense when using your quad bikes. Most accidents associated with quad bikes come from people using them irresponsibly and children using them without adult supervision, not to mention neglecting to wear the correct safety clothing.

Here at funbikes we sell a selection of safety gear such as crash helmets and protective pads and would always suggest our customers make sure they are fully kitted out for riding their quad. Other good safety features on many quads include throttle restrictors, enclosed foot wells and safety tethers, though they are more specific to kid’s quad bikes.

You may have seen in the news that Kate Moss has been criticised for having three people on one quad bike. Quad bikes are not designed for people to ride pillion. So we recommend you take turns or buy a quad bike suitable to the individuals’ abilities.

So remember, quad bikes are great fun and fantastic Christmas presents, but always ride responsibly and the fun won’t come to a sudden, and perfectly avoidable, end.

The Tornado Midi Moto Bikes - 110cc & 125cc of Performance

2008-10-14T03:47:00.000-07:00

Midi motos were then introduced as an alternative to pocket bikes & mini motos. They are very similar in style to mini motos though slightly bigger (the seat height is about a foot to two foot higher than a mini moto), however they are still much smaller in comparison to a full size motorbike of which they are attempting to emulate

These midi moto bikes started off with 47cc 2 stroke engines (capable of around 30-40 mph) but as time has passed and technology increased these bikes can have 4 stroke engines in 110cc-125cc range (around 50-60mph and some, with modifications, can do a whopping 70mph!).

2 models stocked by www.funbikes.co.uk, one of the UK’ leading online stockists of midi motos are the tornado midi moto in both 110cc and 125cc.

This Tornado 110cc is one of the fastest midi sized bikes we have sell.

The engine is a Honda design Loncin 110cc air-cooled, four-stroke, and has proven track record in terms of reliability. The 110cc in this small lightweight chassis equals amazing performance. With a 4-speed gearbox with manual clutch, it has an approximate top speed of 50 mph which can be performance tweaked using spares and upgrades available through us here at Fun Bikes.

The Tornado 110cc Midi Moto has many of the features you’d expect on a larger road bike such as front and rear suspension, front headlights, speedo and an electric start. It even has a digital display to show you what gear you’re in!

The brakes are hydraulic with vented discs. Highly polished meaty 3 spoke alloys; have been fitted with Bridgestone replica bt010 tread tyres for plenty of grip. In fact the rear tyre is extremely wide, (145/50-11), and its thick chunky chain and massive under-seat, twin exhaust system just adds to the visual appeal.

The 125cc Tornado midi moto is a step up from the 110cc version.

Also packing a 4 stroke single cylinder air cooled engine, but increased to 125cc, this bike can be pushed up to 70mph with performance modifications available from us.

Many of the other feature from the 110cc remain the same such as the hydraulic disk brakes, 4 speed manual gear box and clutch and same high performance tyres

The Tornado 125cc is the perfect choice for when you want more power and performance from your midi moto.

Fun Bikes stock performance parts for all our midi motos and when you buy from us you get the full bonus of our expertise and after care services.

The New KXD 50 Mini Dirt Bike & KXD 125R Dirt Bike

2008-10-09T08:07:00.000-07:00

The KXD 50 is one of the latest mini dirt bikes from Funbikes. Available in a variety of colours these stylish mini dirt bikes are designed for kids 10 years and up, and hold a weight of about 13 stone safely (they can also be ridden by adults within the weight limits). This bike is great for stunts, wheelies, doughnuts etc.

There are 2 different models, one with smaller wheels the other with larger wheels but otherwise performance is the same for both styles. Each has a newly designed frame and big bore exhausts, adjustable rear shock absorbers, upside front forks, front and rear disc brakes and chrome handlebars.

Safety feature include a retractable throttle and rocker style kill switch.

The engine is identical to an air-cooled mini-moto, though the dirt bike has more low down pulling power with instant acceleration, and fantastic wheelie power. What’s more it has no gears, it's fully automatic - just rev n go.

The bikes dimensions are 56cm (height) and 112 cm (length.)

What’s more if you buy from funbikes then you get full after sales service and free technical backup, and of course we stock all the spares and repairs you may need for your KXD mini dirt bike, as well as a great range of performance parts.

If a mini dirt bike isn’t your thing then we have the KXD125R dirt bike. This full sized adult dirt bike is built on a heavily developed race winning chassis. The engineers have fitted a 125cc Lifan high performance engine, to give you power to match this dirt bikes cool looks!

Like its 50cc counterpart, the KXD 125R dirt bike comes in several colour schemes and each of these 4-stroke bikes can hit the 60 mph mark.

Other features of this dirt bike include:

> 125cc High Performance 4-Stroke Engine
> All Up N-1-2-3-4 Gearbox
> Unique KXD Frame
> Big Bore BBR Thumper Exhaust
> Mikuni Carb
> Pro-Link Style Rear Suspension
> Upside Down Oil Filled Forks
> Twin Pot Brake Calipers
> Fold-back Clutch and Brake Levers
> Alloy Gear Lever
> Adjustable Rear Shock
> Extended Rear Swing Arm
> Engine Bash Plate
> High Strength Gold Chain
> 14 Inch Front Wheel / 12 Inch Rear Wheel
> 80 cm Seat height

Whats more we are currently selling these bikes at £100 off the price for the first 5 of each colour sold, but when they are gone they are gone and it’s back to full price I’m afraid.

Remember that like our mini dirt bikes these full size 125cc dirt bikes have the same after service and technical help that all Funbikes products have.

50cc Kids Off Road Buggies - Just What Santa Ordered?

2008-09-22T08:52:00.000-07:00

Christmas is just around the corner, yep scary to think, but it’s only a few months away now! So what to get the kids? How about a buggy? No not a push chair! They’ve already grown out of that if they are going to have our suggestion. We mean an off road buggy, you know - roll cage, wheels engine and oh yeah… FUN! Well Funbikes now stock a range of kids off road buggies, and they definitely don’t need mum to push you around in them!

The 50cc Micro RV buggy is intended for children under 12 and is fully CE approved (we do bigger buggies, but might be better to get the kids used to the smaller ones).These small kids off road buggies are typically meant for garden use, or small fields with adult supervision (and permission to use the land!). For added safety it has a remote control engine cut out and starter (for the parents), full roll cage and seat belts. Unlike many other kids off road buggies, this one is EC approved and has both rear wheels driven by the engine (single-wheel engine driven buggies are useless for off road).

Other key features are:

* Automatic transmission.
* Fully adjustable suspension.
* Remote control stop and re start.
* Adjustable sliding bucket seats.
* Adjustable throttle limiter.
* Adjustable throttle and brake pedals.
* Low noise engine ideal for home garden use.
* Dimensions: 1580mm (L) 950mm (W) 1160mm (H)

This off road buggy comes in black or silver trim, has 2 seats and looks cool. The 2 seats mean that though the kids might have to take turns driving, 2 can share the ride. Best of all you can be assured of quality and value when purchasing one from www.funbikes.co.uk.

Why? Well here are a few examples:

* Full assembly of this off road buggy by a qualified mechanic.
* We perform a short test drive and brake test.
* 12 months parts warranty.
* Full after sales and free technical support for as long as you own it!

We also deliver throughout the UK mainland, and are one of the most competitively priced stockists of kids off road buggies. So check out Funbikes today and pick up a 50cc Micro RV buggy for your kids this Christmas, you know they will love it!

70cc Kids Quad Bikes from Funbikes

2008-09-18T05:18:00.000-07:00

The Funbikes' 70cc quad bike is a much improved model not only makes your Quad bike experience effortless but much more stable and therefore safer!

The new chasis gives unrivalled stability and better handling, meaning it is less likely to overturn, which will be a comfort to parents. The new improved front suspension is fantastic, giving easier steering and a much more comfortable ride overall.

The improvements don’t stop there. The installation of rear disk brakes as opposed to the drum brake, gives more control whilst braking, along with a lever that is effortless, should you need a sudden stop. The rear parental safety tether allows for engine cut out which is good for use with younger children. This range of children's quad bikes now has fully automatic gears; as invariably younger children will not know how to change gear.

This new kids' quad looks great too. Be the meanest looking rider around with our new ‘beefy’ front bull bars and more aggressive looking plastics and larger rear mud guards.

The Funbike 70cc kids quad bike is fitted with a Honda Design OEM Engine with a high-grade alloy block. This is one of the most simple and reliable ‘bullet-proof’ engines ever made.

Though this ATV is aimed at a typical age range of between 4–11yrs old, amazingly this kids quad bike can carry most adults without it noticably affecting the performance; impressive considering just how fast this bike will go. For this reason the 70cc quad bike has been built with an integral Throttle Restrictor which will allow your child to go at a slower pace to begin with whilst they get used to the quad bike and its handling. This gives the parent time to assess their own child’s individual capabilities and have control.

The safety aspect doesn't stop there. The quad bike also includes front and rear lights and a brake light for use in conditions with low light. At funbikes we carry a full range of child and adult size crash helmets, body protectors and knee and elbow pads so you really can take care of your child as much as possible whilst they enjoy this fantastic bike!

So check out www.funbikes.co.uk today and see our range of kids quad bikes and safety accessories, as well as our range of mini-motos, pit bikes and much more.
