Hi Bob - how quick do you think you could actually break the Pino down into 2 sections? We have a Mini to fit it in... I have seen a video of one coming out of a 206 - but not going in!
Sorry for not coming back sooner... It still takes quite a bit of room, even split but I guess if you took the wheels and seat off it may fit - if the rear seat in the Mini folds flat. It only takes several minutes to split... release the chain tensioner and take the connecting chain off the rear crank then drop it into a placcy bag and tie (saves getting oil everywhere). Remove front brake lever and undo the steering connector. Then you can loosen the two allen keys that keep it together. It's easier if you have a Hase stand to hold the front up. Disconnect the wiring which runs inside the frame. Loose and fold the bars and fold the seat down or remove it. Getting it back together can be tricky without help but not impossible. I would allow 15-20 minutes to put it all together and ready for riding.
Hi Bob, This is a bit of a funny question but....i need some advice!!! I am considering buying one from 2010 from Germany. The bike is in good condition and the seller is asking for 2700 euros, which seems a bit expensive to me. What do you reckon would be a fair price? Thanks heaps in advance
It depends on the condition really. I think it's a bit expensive for a 2010 model, but if it's in really good condition, then maybe 2500€. Also check that the reinforcing bracket is fitted over the join... it's not on my Pino in this video, but they issued a free maintenance upgrade to reinforce the join, as there's cases of the welds failing. If it doesn't have the bracket, check the welds around there.
Nice to see Mum helps ;)
LOL!
