I spotted it as I pulled up to my customer's house today. I could tell right away that it was a Nicky Edition, you know, with the white number plates and all of the sponser stickers running along the bottom. I think the only thing wrong with it is that she needs a new battery. What do you guys think of her?
LOL! I've seen these little electric bikes before, but the closest I've ever seen one that looked like a real model just had a generic "Ninja" sticker on it. I've never seen one this accurate before, let alone one that looked like an RC51!
I offered to buy it from the lady right there, but she told me that it was her grandson's, and she would have to ask the kid's mom if she wanted to sell it. I left her my number and asked that the mom call me. I'm sure they had no idea that it was an RC51, and to them it was just some crappy little toy motorcycle. I hope she calls me back! I think it would make an awesome pit bike...

That is SO funny! It's even got a Woody decal on the nose, and a Showa decal on the swingarm. That's amazing! Like, who knew to put a Showa decal on the swingarm of this toy? I guess someone at HRCA had something to do with it, huh?

I have one for my son. It actually is a 24 Volt bike and with me and him on it, it will still run about 10mph. Hes only 2 but loves it. I tried the training wheels on it, and was a very bad IDEA. Ok before I get ripped by my sons biker wear. When he rode by his self he had to have jeans, jacket, and shoes on. Not going to raise a Squid. I just need to get a Sticker kit for it so it matches my bike. Actually Found the bike on E-Bay.

It is an ok bike, but the flushmounts are squidly. You need to go with a set of protons or gregg's. See if you can get the seller down to $5,000. That would be a fair price for a Hayden edition.
These things are a blast!!! When I bring mine out, all the kids in my neighborhood keep asking for a chance to ride. They do make for great pit bikes too!! I even put my racing number on the number plates. Yes I'm the biggest kid in my neighborhood! Picked mine up about 5 years ago from Toys R Us.

Just got one today! Saw it at a pawn shop and had to have it. There is a short somewhere, but when I hold the throttle open and plug in the charger it runs! Should be a blast.
