On their IG they just touted an updated model. New gearbox on the 190 and changes to fit taller riders.
Can any of you Ohvale owners comment on the ability to buy parts? Replacement fairings, clip-ons, typical crashed pieces, etc? Where do you go for those? Looks like risemoto.com is the place to go. Any other place, in case risemoto.com disappears so we aren't all screwed? I'm considering one of these for the kart track. I don't race anymore, but I've been putting around kart tracks (USAIR Wisconsin, Motorplex @ Road America) on a Z125 for a couple years and it's been fun. The Ohvale caught my eye. I'd like to hear from owners if they are generally happy with the ability to get replacement parts.
parts ordering has been seemlesss Dr Cretu has got you handled - they’re less Labor and parts intensive than you’d think ..mine hasn’t missed a beat . I’m at about 12 ish hour Ordering another one shortly .... All in all - happy. No ifs ands or buts .Supporting a racer and a dude trying to better the moto community selling a badass product . Win
I bought a demo bike from Dr. Cretu. It's been down a time or two. There may be a couple little scratches somewhere..but I haven't found them yet. There is some visible wear on the delrin/plastic ends on the handle bars and the ends on the foot pegs. Otherwise, it's perfect. I bought mine as a fun training platform to hopefully work on improving what little skills I have on a motorcycle. I may race it in the Ohvale class at NJMiniGP and Sandy Hook next year. I mean someone's gotta finish last right? I'm also planning on buying my son a 110, but it's all on him and his desire as well as his development/evolution as a racer/rider. IF he shows me he is improving as well as a continued commitment to MiniGP, I'll invest the money in him. I still have to hit Cretu up for some oil filters.
There was a Gent selling a used one in the Mini section recently. A 160. I think he sold it. Guy was in CA.
I don't remember if i commented. I ride a FS450 at my local kart track alot and i've spun a few laps on a 190. learning curve was steep because its so small and different but the harder you push the easier it was to ride. I didnt' want to crash it so i didn't push very hard but this summer i'll spin some more laps on it and see if i can beat my 450 lap times but i doubt i'll be able to.
