Advantages: cheaper
Disadvantages: poor quality, poor build, poor after sales
If you are like me the thing that will attract you to the LM50 will be the fact that it looks exactly the same as the hugely successful LT50 and is, if the bumph is to be believed, even more reliable and better built "surprisingly similar, just superior" to quote the website but don't be fooled! Yes it is cheaper, yes it looks the same but that is about the extent of it's good points.In case you had not guessed I made the mistake of buying one and it all went downhill from there. Check the specs-on the website you get auto lube(does away with pre mixing oil and petrol)when the bike arrives it's not there No free lunches- as the old saying goes and that is the case with this machine pounds saved are reflected in the poor build quality and the poor after sales, a small mark up means that if you have a problem it is just that "your problem" in closing don't do it save your money and buy an LT50 I have bought several in the past and they are bombproof.

- 19/09/07 AS an owner of a Linmax LM50 I am most disappointed with this review. I bought the LM50 for my son last Christmas. It has been used every weekend since and to date we have never had any trouble what so ever with it. Granted it was cheaper than buying the expensive 'Bombproof' (I have my reservations) LT50 but hey, its an exact replica and so are the spares, should you need them. My Nephew has a LT50 and has nothing but trouble with it, everytime he is out on ity something goes wrong, The frame snaps, bearing keep siezing, chain keeps snapping.
If you are looking for a good cheap alternative to the Suzuki LT50, which I would class as more 'Bombproof' then go for a Linmax LM50, I'm just dreding the day my son out grows it and we have to get him somthing else. |

- 12/06/02 I agree that the LT50s are bombproof, I have 2 under my stairs, my 10 year old had hers for her 3rd christmas, and apart from the odd scratch and a few dinks it is just as good as the day we bought it from the shop.
My 9 years olds is a bit rougher bu we bought that one secondhand,nevertheless, it is still a great motor.
