Fast? No
Reliable? Not enough of them out there to know for sure yet.
Easy to work on? As easy as any other bike.

seems like a stupid bike for beginners, which is who they're marketed to.

I'm in agreement with bmjwright AND 750killshin: The Pagster is certainly NOT fast. Reliable? It has a Chinese made engine - need I say more? Easy to work on - well that is all relative. The engine is a Honda knock-off and to anyone of us in the business - yes it's quite easy to work on. To someone not mechanically inclined and without any experience or knowledge of this sort - well they might find working on this or any other similar machine to be a bit of a challenge. For beginners, yes - that is (or was) the target customer base - maily because they didn't know any better.
Best advice I can offer you is: Stay away from the Pagster and look for a mainstream, well known manufacturer's machine that has been well proven and has a good strong dealer network with parts and service to back it up.

I was referencing the "Pagster" that was marketed by Johnny Pag that was a Chinese made mini'chopper. It failed miserably and they went belly up. The new FX/3 that justin68106 references with his hyperlink is a completely different animal than the original Pagster.

ditto... I was talking about that chopper death trap too.

Justin thanks for the link. I was going to buy one of these I think I will just get something else for a first bike.
