Some get used as Ambulances
Some get used for transporting goods
and passengers…
Sometimes it’s a longway to the nearest water.
Each of these weigh 20kg.
Some get used for fun…
When your tyre splits you can’t just pop down to your local Action Bikes to get a new one.
So you sew it up !
Spare parts are useful too…
Action Bikes keep all the old parts from the workshop and ship them with the bikes.
