On the minipocketrockets website their is The X18-R Nitro Super Bike". It sais the "R" stands for race edition and seems to be the same as the X18 but revised and better. minipocketrockets is the only website that i've seen that has them so i'm a little curious if this is better than the X18 or just a cheaper made model with worse parts. The website is selling it for $599 plus $57.82 shipping and handling. Im wondering how this bike compares to the regular X18. Any opinions or thoughts?
I think that is just the websites way to make people buy more of there bikes i think it is BS like the R32 intercepter is the GS57 or X15 i think they actually make them worse by putting crappy parts on them then selling them for less saying they are "better" than the original bike but anyone correct me if i am wrong.

Im positive theyre the same bikes as the normal X18's. Theyre jsut saying that to make you more intrested. Im buying mine from there because it is so much cheaper than anywhere else. (only $654 or something after shipping)
Are they unreliable or something? Cause if they are, I'll pay a little more so I dont get hustled. lol. My friend ordered a bike from there and got it, has there been bad reports on that site?
U can do what u want im going by what i know and have heard if u buy a bike from there it may not be the same as the x-18 ill send u a PM for a good site to get it from.
you know a good site to buy from?? you shoudl let evveryone know.whats up.that way the place your talking about could get heka business .but im just wondering.how do you know a good site to buy from if you dont have a pocket bike? one thigns for shure.dont buy form usa pocket bikes. they are slow at shipping plus they give you messed up bikes.
Getting random stuff makes you spend a lot of money but not get any performance out of it. The best thing is to figure out a plan on what you want done to the bike when you have done all that you want and then start working towards that goal. There are a lot of parts out there that are great but will work like crap unless you use them with parts that work well with it. For example: a 20mm carb is probably the best on a relatively stock bike but slightly modified bikes like to run a 22mm and big bore and big cam 110s like a 24mm and even a 26mm. So, it would be a bad idea to blow your money on a 20mm carb right now when you will replace it down the road when you do other work. Let us know what your bike will have on it when you are done and we will help steer you in the right order of getting parts to get to that level.
first of all it looks like the same bike as the regular x-18. they state some gearing changes and stuff but dont list particulars. and i wouldnt trust it. i paid 679 for mine and thay only want 599 for a supped up version, sounds a little fishy to me.
A-holes trying to take your money for no difference between the bikes. The chinese will call it double, or triple R if that is what you want on your stickers.
exactly what i thought looked at other web site for x-18. all they have is the 2007 model everything is the same no difference. only thing is on other site they will give you all the specs where as that one wont
look at the site on the left sponsered here for the x-18 the one that says 100cc super bikes no difference other than the stickers. and that is the place i bought mine from. no problems with them at all straight and up front with everything.
hey skin just make sure you charge the battery. have seen alot of guys get em with half charged batteries and after about a month the battery dies. happened to me also.
there is no charge socket...so i have been riding it for like 2hr periods of time that way the stator is good and going...hopefully the battery is charged...if there is a socket for a charger let me know bout it cuz i have a charger here
no there is no socket. what i did was i bought a trickle charger that has an adapter that hooks up to the battery. but even if you ride it fro lengths of time if the battery wasnt fully charged it will still kill it. dont know why but it wont charge fully by just runnin it. i ran mine for hours on end. but the electric start takes so much of the juice it doesnt help unless you fully charge it first. if you want i can take a pic of the adapter and post it so you see what i did.
