Default Mini/Playbike questions

Alright guys, I tried doing some searching but didn't come up with a vast amount of threads like this.

I'm looking for a pitbike with four wheels basically...yes, the quad would be for me to ride, at 6'2" 205lbs. Basically in all honesty I'm looking for a mini-quad I can wheelie around the neighborhood. My neighbor just bought a semi-older polaris scramber 50 for his 3 year old daughter and is slowly teaching her to ride (with him on the back of course) He's a 23 year old, new daddy so cut him some slack here...I was sheetrocking our new shop, when he came cruising up with an enormous wheelie, he can go for as long as he wants. It was for sure the funniest thing I had ever seen in my life, for he is about the same size as me. So I'm looking to pick one up for cruising around the pits on race day, and riding wheelies around my yard. Now I need something that can take a little abuse, and be a decent wheelie machine. Not saying that I'm not going to take care of it, because I maintenence everything religously, but...you know.

Now I'm on a pretty tight budget, because truck payments are killing me, but I'm looking for something in the 700$ range, and can be used as long as it runs. Would prefer automatic, for the sake of not having to shift in a wheelie. Otherwise that I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something that would work. Can I get some suggestions please? I honestly know nothing about them besides the reading I have done on here, and all recommendations would be appreciated. More or less just playing out the field for right now

Since wheelie, reliability and auto transmission is your main desires, look at the Kasea 90, Blast, Extreme and E-Ton 90 brands. I've heard Kasea's have very strong Swing Arms, and E-Tons have thick chains. The Pred-90 has a thin chain and I've seen pictures of too many snapped Swing Arms on the Pred-90 line. It probably wouldn't take your kind of abuse. Dinli??? I've read a review where some 260 lb guy ran a Dinli 90 down an an MX track. He did everything from wheelies to jumps. Only thing that broke was a rubber mount on its running board. Based on this, you may want to investiage the Dinli brands as well. If riding wheelies most of the time, you'd probably want a mini with rear disc / hand brake lever system.

Sometimes, you can find a few good deals on E-Bay. Also, investigate many mini-quad forum's Buy/Sell sub forums might land you a good deal as well.

Hope this helps...

The lt 160 isn't exactly a mini but they can wheelie and be found for cheap.
