Thanks for the Welcoming Gang.
kczukiman,we are in a little town called Litchfield. It's about 30 miles NW of Akron. Mostly Farm Land. I was Born and raised in WVa. and used to ride alot of dirt bikes in the day. But I think I'll try something with 4 wheels this time.
Well tomorrows the day. Talked to Tim today and he said they were on there way. Yeeee Haaaa as us OLD worn out Hillbillies used to say.

 

I was born in Wheeling WV. And raised in Cambridge area.Do your self a favor and read as much as you can on the prep work on these Chinese bikes.Resist the urge to slap them together and ride.I know it will be hard but remember you are now the acting dealer and prep work is very important.Good luck and keep us posted.This is an awsome site with really good people on it that is always ready to help.

Great Advice kczukiman..

 

Well we got our VBikes yesterday. Stayed up till 3:30Am putting them together. Road alittle last night. I had to almost Pull wife off to get her to go in. Only a few minor problems. 1.Some Bolts were missing. 2.High /Low Beam switch doesn't work on one. 3.No Chain Tenisioner on one. Not even a place welded on the frame to mount one. 4.They were shipped UPS freight so they were a day late from what Tim said they would Be. And then, everyone needs to know this. UPS Freight will call to set up a deleivery time. They don't just deliever it. I was waiting for them and working outside and they called the house and left message. Kinda my fault for not checking messages I guess. But didn't know they call first. If I had known,I'd gave them my cell phone number instead of home phone. Luckly I checked the messages at about 4:00PM and called Back and they said it was to late to deliever I had to wait till Monday. Ohhhhhhh,NO NO. I wanted to ride this weekend. So I went and picked them up. Just about 45 min. trip. No Biggie. 5. Nuteral and Reverse Lights don't work on wifes. Probably just a loose wire.
So all and all,we Love them. Plenty of speed. Nice size. The little problems that we have are all easy fixes except for the chain tenisioner. That I can fix,but have to talk to Tim about it first. I wish they had a service manual. Tim said after riding 1 Hr. to change the oil and use 10w-40w but not sure what brand. Again simple fix. I have to play with the shock to get smoother ride.I'm so lite at 140lbs. shock is to stiff.
So I'd say for the price and quility so far. We made the right choice.VBIKE 250 is the way to go.
Gotta run gang. Burning day light and got some riding to do. Will check in later.

 

Well we have had our VBikes now for about 2 weeks or so and let me tell you for the money you can't go wrong. We Love them. Only problems we have had is. I do have the rattle that sounds like the muffler guard when riding but the guard is tight. so still looking for that. Mine didn't come with a chain tenisioner,not even a place on the frame to mount one. So I have problems with my chain coming off. (BUT), I called Tim and told him and within 2 days he had me one here and I just have to weld it on. No Big Deal. Also my High Low Beam doesn't work, but I took Fog Lights and mounted one on the front and one on the back and tied them in. Now when we go to Reverse we have a Bright Fog light for a back up light. Great for night riding. I changed the oil and starting to get it broke in. Guys the more they get Broke in The faster they go so be prepared. The only bad thing is I wish now That I had gotten the automatic for the wife. She has some problems with the clutch. But she is getting better. And they are narrow bikes and will flip easy,so Please Please Be careful of that. So all and all I give them a 8 out of 10 rating for the money. And Tim and his wife are so easy to deal with. He goes above and beyond for you. I have 3 more sold for him,just as soon as they order them. I think 2 are already ordered and one is still deciding. Good Luck and Happy riding.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the new rides. I am going on 8 months now with our MIC ATVs from Vbike, and I am happy to report they are all doing great.

I have a few good riding weekends left out here in Colorado before the snow starts dumping up in the mountains. Those ATVs of ours survived there first Summer with no major problems.

If you have some mechanical inclination, the ATVs should give you many years of good use.

 

I am glad to hear your v-bikes are doing good for you. For fear of being spanked again, as apparently some people feel V-bike should not be criticized, but I apparently have got the only Lemon V-bike ever made. My bike has been down more time as it is down again for a week waiting on parts. Tim apparently is becoming quite frustrated with me returning WARRANTY parts, he gave me quite an attitude last time I spoke with him. Sucks every time something goes wrong I'm down 1 wk +. But I can't help gas tank brke, Iginition switch won't turn, tail light simply fell apart on trail, same with bumper and muffer brackets. Glad everybody else has no problems!!

 

Proper initial setup and mechanical inclination are no doubt a prerequisite for owning any MIC ATV or motorcycle.
