    I have a question for the members that have either lived in china or currently live in china.
    Does anyone in china ride registered pit bikes on the road?
    I am asking this because I am currently building a registered pit bike here for on the road. Mine will be similar to this one

    I know they are made in china just not sure if anyone there is into them or even if they can be registered in china.

    Hi Tina, although many would love to ride them, these pit bike can't be registered in China. I had one at some point but then sold it off as i could never use, always getting stoppped whenever i tried to ride it. Shame.

    Hi felix thanks for the reply, that is a shame because these little bikes can be a lot of fun especialy when you consider the power that can be obtained from them and how light they are.

    I don't know if this will help you, but since you mentioned Galaxy, here is a thread from 'Felix' about Galaxy's little pit-bikes

    I would prefer the pitsterpro that I posted a picture of, it has the newer gpx motor that is either 150 or 160cc these can be built up to almost 200cc. With 20+ HP this would be an awsome urban hoon bike.

    Perhaps try contacting the business to business sites from China that sell the Shuopu/Pitster products. I see that the official Pitster products are far and few in Australia, but perhaps that was so they wouldn't overlap Puzey's lineup since they are partners. However, since Puzey is not really around in Australia, perhaps you could contact the Pitster of Australia importer or the individual dealers and they could get one for you? Or, try ordering direct from Pitster in the US. When you email the company, the head guy, Gary Goodwin, seems to be the one to return the emails, so you could inquire directly to him.

    Thanks culcune but what I ment was that if I were to be chasing a reg pitbike of the two bikes shown here I would prefer the pitsterpro. I am actualy in the process of building a reg pitbike based on a motovert rx125.
    The reason I posted this thread was because I was interested to findout if anyone rides them in china, it seems the answer is no because they can not be reg there.

    OK, I got a little carried away, LOL!! (me, carried away??!!)

    On a related, but bordering on hijacking note, I am seriously considering the CT-70 clone from Pitster Pro for cheap transportation (I don't think I would ride something I made myself, and that is directed at me and me alone, LOL). The engine could be upgraded with one of their crate engines later on:

    down the line, install one of these:
