My girls love them. They go about 15 MPH which is pretty quick for such a small scooter. I had to replace the batteries in on of them (which aren't cheep) I can't imagine putting a bigger electric motor in it. The batteries would be dead in no time.
My son Seth who owns the first mini I bought told his sisters we were going to give them the mini choppers and get rid of their scooters and they both got very upset and cried. I wasn't there to correct him.:hammer:

Thanks for your help. What makes the Bonanza a good mini bike? When it comes to everything I have seen on this site, there really only seem to be a few different categories or types of mini bikes, those with suspension and those without. Now I may be speaking from complete ignorance. If so let me know. I'm here to learn as much as I can.
By the way I picked up this one for $40. The guy said the motor runs great (it has no oil or gas in it:shrug:) I plan to put a 6.5 hp predator motor on it I bought just in case the 3 hp motor didn't work on sons project.

Like I said that is a Bonanza,it even has Bonanza Kidney bean wheels on it.I would say you got a good deal on it for $40 bucks.If for some reason you don't want to keep it, I will buy it off you.The original jackshaft plates were cut off and the scrub brake was added.

Why would someone do that? There is no suspension and the wheel gear is on the same side for direct drive. Why would it have had a jack shaft on it from the factory? If it didn't have a scrub brake to begin with how did it stop?

They did, here is one just like the one you have...all Bonanza models had jack shaft plates from the factory.
