I remember that brake. I'm pretty sure it was the same one that came on some Kabuki bikes. When the bike was in the stand, the brake could stop the wheel spinning. On the road, though, the brake didn't do a darned thing.

If I saw this on the MS 150, I would throw tacks in front of them. Do they even allow motorized bicycles? I would definitely NOT want to climb a hill on this death trap when the motor runs out of gas.,,,,BD

I'd guess the seller forgot the decimal point after the 125

The bike looks like it has been coated with KBS diamond clear finish topcoat. KBS will make a dull paint job look like glass. And it gets very hard.

Well, it's headache-inducing for sure, but I wouldn't be too quick to flag it.
Even idiots should be free to self-expose. This in turn allows the more-sane to give them a wide berth.
