    Thanks, been looking for a non sponsored review. Also was great to see it hauling around an adult and put through its paces. Was very helpful. Thanks again.

    How did you manage to ride a wheelie? We’ve tried but no luck, any special maneuver to pull it off? Thanks, great video! Just received Cheetah yesterday 7-5-23 and did wheel spacers and shocks during assembly 😊

    Others have said that too. Maybe ours is a little snappier. I does take getting all your body weight into it and finding the sweet spot of throttle control.

    You can change the sprockets. Depending on your sprocket tooth choice it will either make it accelerate quicker w slower top speed or accelerate slower w higher top speed.

    change the carb jet. there are 2 jets inside the carb..the idler jet and the main jet if you increase those jet sizes the engine uses more fuel but it does go alot faster be careful tho to much and you risk flooding it. also look into a better cdi.....the cheap chinese ignition boxes arent the best build

    Nice find. Sounds like you got the basics figured out. Clean/change the air filter. Maybe just check if there are any grease nipples you can fill, check chain slack and lube that as well, check over nuts and bolts for anything loose. For tires Amazon works or local shop. You may need a shop to install anyways but the tires there will cost more. Check the size you have now before you buy but likely you can pickup something like these for it: amzn.to/3Oqn6y0

  • @toolstoys70

    @toolstoys70

    Жыл бұрын

    I would say it’s too small for you to use anywhere but your backyard. Most atvs are multi gear manual transmissions. The trans in this is single speed. But not the same kind as a snowmobile or car with at cvt. This is literally just one gear trying to balance enough torque with enough top speed based on the sprocket choices.
