Coleman Mini bikes!
 
Some here reported buying these, and I believe they come in a few different brands. If I remember they are manufactured by Rato Motors?

Those would have done a lot better with a CVT set up over a centrifugal clutch.

That would add another $250.00 to the cost of the bike

A person can always add a Comet Torq-a-Verter later. Same thing.

On the oldminibike forums they are doing it for less than $100. The manufacture can do it cheaper than that.

That could be ,but any bump up in price makes them harder to sell ,people buy these things because they are cheap .The omb folks also install a lot of jackshaft kits in the little Baja bikes

Research has shown prices to be anywhere from $249.99 to $699.99. I think there's some room for upgrades without a price increase.

I've had one of these in my Amazon shopping list for months. Mrs. 2LZ would not be pleased......

I found two at a not so local walfart for $124 each. They were picked up before I could get there. I talked to the manager about them. They came in beat up boxes, so there could have been missing parts or shipping damage. He discounted them because he hates dealing with them. He said almost every one comes back beat to death and not running with in a month.

Ha, I was told about the same from a pep boys guy back in the day of the 2000's China bikes.

anyone that can cut and weld can build a custom one ... then grab a tiller or something from craigslist with a side shaft (110 chinese 4 stroke with gears?) $200 - $300 maybe, and just the right size for you

Are you sure that's not this one? They have them on the same Amazon page.
