Re: Sherpa, TRex, Roketa 124cc Street Bike MC-38??
I was trying to find a back road route from my house to Hilo and back a few months back. I was riding my 2009 Kymco People 150. This was a dirt and gravel road. It had lots of mixed sized imbedded rocks and boulders to dodge. Lots of dips and holes. Then, at one point, there was a large puddle taking up the entire road. I eased through at the edge, and luckily it wasn't too deep. But, I could feel that the scooter's suspension just wasn't up to it. Although a UPS delivery truck was going the opposite way, and must have made it through the water, I would not drive our 2002 Toyota Tacoma pickup on that route.

Of course the monkey bike would handle that road at a slow pace but probably not the best choice. I would prefer a bike like a XT225.

The supplied mirrors were useless on the Monkey bike so I installed a bar end mirror.
Just one on the left gives me a good rear view.

Also removed the turn signal extensions, air injection system, and the charcoal canister.

No sidecar yet, shipping from http://www.saferwholesale.com
Edit: Just got the tracking number from saferwholesale so the bike has shipped.
Yippee, I need to get a mad little monkey off my back. I promised her a ride in my Ural but the guy from FL came with the full amount in cash before I could take her for the ride.
Ordered a seat for the sidecar off Amazon.

Great news, barnone. Need lots of pictures and ride reviews later.

The hack arrived today while I was off to the gym. Luckily, my wife was home and handled the delivery.
I start the set up tomorrow.

Got her out of the crated and down in the shop. Easiest bike to put together out of all my Chinese crate bikes. Almost nothing to do.

Charging battery. Need to adjust a too tight chain, and do some checks, add gas and fire her up.
She is a semi auto. No clutch lever which is fine with me. Good for the wife and kids. Like her ATV so she will like.
I'll have to figure out how to mount the boat seat. I want it easily removed for hauling cargo.
Re: Sherpa, TRex, Roketa 124cc Street Bike MC-38??
Cool!! Can't wait for your first ride report. Look like you could have a large box of some sort you could use in the side car and haul a bunch of stuff.
Re: Sherpa, TRex, Roketa 124cc Street Bike MC-38??
Got in a few rides between rain showers. Running good with more power than I expected. Rough riding on the gravel roads with the hard tail but that is expected. Might put a spring seat on her like my hard tail DF. Maybe I can get in some longer rides tomorrow.
