It looks like it will fit in the S but it doesn't. At least I can't get mine to fit in the trunkunless I take the front fairing off.

I just drive around with my trunk half open when trasporting it. It will fit in a "normal" cars trunck though.

not to rain on everyones parade, but there is a better version out there for a little more $. Its 1/3 scale, so you wont have to look like you are spreading the eagle when you ride it.. and they are 49cc

BTW, a word of caution to those interested in purchasing these. These bikes are cheap Taiwan knock offs of Italian Pocket bikes used on a GoCart race circuit track. Those bikes are upward of $3,000 and come with 15 hp water-cooled 4-stroke motors. These go for about $300 and come with weedwacker motors.. And

You should check around. I remember some guy was selling the same thing for $250. If you wanna buy more the cheaper. Lemme know if you guys are really serious. I could try and find him again. I bought one when they first came out. I paid 325 at the flea market. I also have the 49cc one. It is bigger but much slower. It's definately a good and fun thing to buy. I wouldn't buy the more expensive blata, unless you were going to race it. If you just wanna ride for fun, this would be your best bet. S2-Raw is right about replacing the nuts and adding the fuel filter.
