It was awesome and a game changer after such a long time away from them but didn't take long before I spent hundreds totally rebuilding it, new bearings, bushes, seals, shell, wheels, uprated suspension then a brand new bigger motor, the lot.
It's never had a drop of juice in it and has sat in the loft ever since. If you can get something cheap like this it might be worth it for a bit but I'd expect the novelty will wear off quite quickly.
