Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Before you buy, read the reviews for this mini bike. Amazon has decided to lump every motorized product that Coleman makes into one group, so you really don’t know what anyone thinks about any one product. Up on the left side above the review you’ll see the reviewers name, how many stars, the date and finally what they are giving the review for. Make sure you are reading the reviews for the model you’re thinking about. Also most of the pictures of the CT200U are actually pictures of the CT100. If it has a rear disc brake it’s the CT100. Take the time to read the reviews, it will help you make a good decision. NEXT... UPS is going to attempt to destroy your new mini bike, mine actually had minimal damage despite spending a lot of its shipping time on one end which is clearly a no no if you read the side of the box. Apparently that’s just too much for the drivers to do. If they handle yours the way they did mine you’re guaranteed some missing paint and dents. Now to be fair, the box Coleman ships these in are not the best and clearly not UPS proof. Coleman has learned however to put the small pieces in a bag in a box which helps keep the hardware from being lost . They still need to learn what UPS proof means. If there is such a thing. THE BIKE... Once you remove what’s left of the box and can actually see your new friend, I would mount the front fork and front tire per the instructions. Once it’s a roller you can check it over for damage and decide if you’re going to go to war over the damage or not. Like I said, mine had minimal scrapes and no bends and everything was there so I opted not to complain. The only other things you need to do is add gas, engine oil, and lube the clutch bearing and chain. The clutch bearing on mine was never lubed at the factory and would have torn itself up if I hadn’t read the reviews and known that was a problem. The rest of the bearings on the bike are sealed and shouldn’t need your attention . I would put a wrench on sprocket bolts to make sure they are tight as a precaution. All in all my fist impression is good. Seems to be a great bike that will surprise you in good ways. It’s constucted well and hauls my two hundred pounds around quickly. Right now I am impressed and ready to ride some more. I’ll be back to tell you more if there’s a problem. Happy trails.
