So the Doodlebug I bought my son was a huge hit on his 10th birthday today. I can't get him off the thing. I've never seen him so happy or excited to get a present. Anyway, I know the stock motor is small. I'm keeping it stock while he gets used to it better. Although I have to say he's only been riding for a day and he's already zipping around obstacles like he's done it for years.
I'm thinking of investing in a 2nd used one from CL. Something cheapass without a motor in it because I want it for myself (yeah, we're all kids here!) and I was going to put the Predetor 212 in it so it could pull my huge 250# self around.
Has anyone taken these bikes off the road on to some not-so-rugged trails? There are a few near my house that I could go to that are pretty basic without a lot of ruggedness to them. Do you think these bikes can handle something like that for fun or will we destroy them because they have no suspension?
