Why spend 130 quid when they can just Nick a bike, thrash, crash and burn it for free.
Of course not forgetting the odd Angel that terrorises the neighbourhood with no helmet on a stolen bike and the crashes into a bus or car. They were always kind, sharing and could do no wrong.

If you want to live in a world where people redefine sexism/racism just so they can victimise anyone who disagrees with their vision of the future, or if they wish to express their own form of sexism/racism towards all "cis white men", then good luck with that utopian dream. I think we differ in our views, where I would not define a decent person as someone who spends their time spewing random childish insults at strangers who don't agree with them.

LOL. 'Mob rule'. Perhaps you mean 'democracy'. I can understand why you're upset; nothing you do or say can ever bring back 'the old days' when you could (if you were a certain type of person) say and do whatever you liked, with impunity. I feel sorry for you, you belong in the Stone Age yet here you are spouting inane bluster, desperately trying to find ways to be offended just so that you can justify your antediluvian brain farts. A keyboard anti-SJW, yet you don't see the irony.
I am not an SJW btw, just a decent person. Something you obviously cannot even aspire to be.

Sorry if facts give you a headache, but please, carry on with the aimless impassioned insults. That's far more productive.
How about justice that is actual justice? Rather than some persons amoral justification for mob rule. Perhaps where someones reward/punishment is a reflection of their personal actions. Not related to how convenient a target they are to be made an example of in typical SJW witch hunts where the ends justify the means, in their desperate attempt to be relevant.
It's pretty obvious you are one of the angry SJW keyboard warriors which I am referring to so I am not holding out on any kind of productive or civil discussion on the matter. Classic pattern of when someone says something they don't like, just spew vitriol against the person without any attempt at forming a logical, rational counter argument.

"Oh I don't like bread, I must be a racist". Sort of drivel an ESN teen would spout at school and yet you actually go online and type stuff like this, as an adult?! Wow, just wow.

As I said you're a fool. One who spends his time quoting from Wikipedia. The very definition of an idiot and yet you still carry on as if it's something commendable. Asinine & pointless.
BTW Please elucidate on what form of 'Justice' YOU prefer, since you don't like 'Social Justice'.
Words change in meaning over time, as they get appropriated and warped for various reasons.
Such as this definition among the long list on that definition you linked to:
" a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics"
So, if I don't like people who like bread, I'm a racist? They're a group of people with a shared interest. Or people who like football. I don't like them, so I'm a racist. Or people that chew with their mouth open, I hate people with those habits. Again, I'm a racist. The definition has been wedged so wide and open it quite ltierally can apply to anyone and everyone, so you can't dislike anything, at all, without the potential threat of being labelled racist. And that's exactly how some people want it.

Can you keep your retarded opinions off HUKD. There are many sites for your kind of reactionary BS which I'm sure you're more comfortable with, lots of like-minded KKK types there (though not sure why they'd join such an organization as of course 'racism doesn't exist').
Oh thank you for telling everyone what to think, I guess you must be one of the Master Race. You know, the one that never practises racism.
Strange name you've chosen, perhaps 'Thoughtless' or just 'Idiot' would've been much more appropriate.

If you like those wackey redefinitions. You'll love the attempts to reclassify "rape" as any expressed negative opinion about women (see youtube). Classifying a rape joke as "violence", and thus justified to be met with violence. The classification of all sex as rape. Or the "diversity" officer of Goldsmith University who tweets "#killallwhitemen", bans white men from her talks, then says it's impossible for her to be sexist/racist because she's a minority woman. You'd think these were jokes, but sadly they're not. The Amazing Atheist on youtube has a whole load of these black comedies.
The SJW movement is all about control and power so they can force their personal ideologies on everyone else. Control of language is their first step. This was known as far back as 1949 by George Orwell in his book 1984.

My interpretation (partly based on experiences of a buyer for a marketing company that produced custom items via a Chinese company) of the quality of mass produced Chinese products that are good/bad is the quality control. Say a UK company orders 1000 from a Chinese factory, when they arrive, they inspect and test and scrap/return 100 of them that don't meet the standards. When buying direct, you seem to get them all, without that QC pass.
Echoing some peoples other thoughts. I would stay away from this. I bought an A2B Hybrid electric bike. Designed in Germany, manufactured in far east. I figured if it was allowed to be imported/sold in the UK it would conform to all sorts of stringent standards. I was wrong. It was a death trap. There didn't seem to be any QC as there were faults (such as safety) from day one.

Why would you include negative views of culture and nationality with racism? Why not prejudice? Since those things have literally nothing to do with race.
The racism card is being abused to silence anyone who has any individual opinions about ideas that contradict the SJW manifesto. Culture and religion are ideas. Racism is based on what people are born with, and the idea they are inherently inferior, no matter their actions. That's the difference. One is something the person has nothing to do with, the other they have made a personal choice. If you can't hold people accountable for the choices they make, then we might as well give up on the idea of a justice system.
"Don't like me beating women? That's my culture, you racist!"
"Don't like me murdering people for leaving their faith? That's my religion, you racist!"

The definition expressed in the Wikipedia entry is disputed. It is disputed, and always will be because there is no definition to this meaningless bully word. That's the point of it! If it ever does have a universally agreed definition people will be able to avoid falling into the traps laid by it.
Your definition is easily proved wrong as 'racism' has nothing to do with race! Take the case of Kaily Amess who attacked a woman of the same race born not 20 miles from where she was born, convicted of a 'race hate' crime on the grounds the victim had a Scottish accent ! It is mind bending how this can be shoehorned into the race agenda, but it was. Or take the case of Liam Edwards an animal rights activist who stuck stickers on halal meat which said it was cruel - which it is, prosecuted for racially aggravated criminal damage. Exactly which race is Islam ? I thought it was an ideology?
As I said before 'racism' is as real as witch craft was, and we should all ignore those who falsely cry it.

It's not even a question of disliking. If you espouse a view about a person based on nationality, race, culture, ethnicity or skin colour then it is racist. *All French women have hairy armpits (not that it should matter), Americans are stupid; Nigerians are scam artists; white men can't jump - or dance; you get my drift. Making judgements about millions of people based on the scantest of information/experience is prejudice and therefore not ideal. Of course, we're all socialised to prefer those people most like us so it's fair to say that everyone is a bit racist in the broadest sense of the word. And we have brains that want to discriminate in order to categorise - our language is developed around determining what things are and what things are not. That requires discrimination. Of course, when you begin to trust particularly negative or positive assessments of people based on their gender, race, colour, sexuality, etc and then apply those judgements to people you don't know - well then you have a problem.
*I do not hold any of these opinions, nor am I encouraging anyone else to nor giving any validity to them. Apologies if they cause any offence - they are meant for the purposes of demonstration only.
Anyone who dislikes any race, culture, nation, ethnicity, caste, or religion.... soooo, basically everyone?
When everyone is racist, no one is.

Yes Chinese is a nationality. It is not a race.
No it doesn't... that's prejudice. Some modern day SJW like to include anything they don't like (prejudice against nationality/culture/religion) in the definition so they can play that card to terrorise anyone who disagrees with them.
Anyone who is struggling to tell the difference can check your local dictionary or Wikipedia.

To be fair, new parts for these are all over flea bay for next to nothing. The first to break will be the pull start rope or mechanism, then the carb will leak petrol. I've had a few of these (second hand) Even though the bikes are tiny, I wouldn't put a younger kid on it - but they will happily pull a teen or adult. Make sure you check and tighten bolts every so often but very easy to work on :smiley:

No, no, no.
The point about the 'Chinese' is that it's a Chinese brand and not one of the 'good' ones - one that'll probably have disappeared before the bike falls apart as you're riding towards a tree.
Despite their claim, this type of bike is made for young kids to get an idea of motorcycling.
If you're happy that it may well only last a few rides and don't feel like getting a second hand one for £50, sure, I suppose.
For most, there are much better choices out there.
