    Not really. Id rather have a propper geared bike over a ped but they were all far away an ridiculous prices. If your getting a 50 its better to get an auto

    A 50cc geared bike isn't worth having unless you get a 70cc kit and exhaust tbh. My mate had a standard geared bike but restricted, was awful to ride because the was so little power. Now he has a 70cc kit, big carb and performance exhaust, it goes like a motocross bike and is really fun

    yes i was just wondering if the power and speed out of a 70cc geared bike can be obtained by a 70cc automatic? or will the geared 70cc be faster?

    Geared bikes always seem way better on top speed, I leave my mate on my aerox till 55, when I crawl up to 60 he goes past me like I was standing still. His bike shows 90mph on the speedo, so the actual top speed is about 75. It just gets there without any hassle.
