There,s loads of different makes coming out at the minute be carefull which you buy!!!!
Some of the cheap ones are proper shit!!
The design of them means the chain constantly rubs on the swingarm and wears through in no time at all!!
They look fun but are as expensive to run/repair as a full size mx bike!!

When the cheap one,s break it,s near on immposible to get hold of spares
My advice would be pay a bit more and buy a 2nd hand xport or a thumpster at least then when it breaks you can repair it
why not just tell your mates you,ve ordered one then show up on a proper bike and blow them into the weeds
