Buying A Used Pocket Bike
A way for someone to get into the sport of riding pocket bikes without forking over hundreds or even thousands upfront is to test the waters with a used bike. Buying used will definitely save you a lot of money.
The make sure you get the best deal possible, it requires meticulous shopping and research. You will learn as much as possible about what pocket bikes are about. Just as there are many benefits, although namely financial, there are risks involved as well.
The process is very similar to buying a used car but on a smaller scale. While you could save money by buying used instead of a brand new pocket bike, there are things about buying new you just can't get with a used bike.
A big difference between buying new versus used is the warranty. A new bike that breaks down suddenly is usually covered by the manufacturer's warranty for a decent period of time and allows the buyer to get a refund, exchange, or repairs.
Rarely will there be a transferable warranty on a used bike that is within the warranty period. In most cases it will be from private sellers and all sales are implicitly final.
The problem is that most buyers don't adequately inspect the bike, or never learned how to inspect the bike. Savvy pocket bike owners know when they have a newbie on their hands and this leaves the buyer vulnerable to being sold something that is worth much less than what they are asked to pay. Nobody wants something that is in poor condition when they pay the price for a quality product.
With proper precaution and research, the benefit of buying used is huge savings despite the risk. A used bike can save as much as fifty to seventy-five percent of the cost of a new bike. And much like cars, as soon as the new bike hits the pavement the depreciation in value begins as an increasing rate.
What really helps the financial situation is the fact that resellers can usually be worked for a better deal. It is pretty much expected to negotiate a little when buying a used car or in this case, a pocket bike. The asking price and agreed price usually will yield a deep discount for the buyer. This allows you to get a great pocket bike at a fraction of the cost for a new bike. - 21396
