Yes, we have tried it. I got mine from ebay in december.
There are some posts regarding the Allegro bike i the Lighthawk Apex thread.
Its a fast toy without proportional steering but dont get too discouraged about the steering. It is less of a problem than for cars IMO

Cars without proportional steering are garbage, IMO.
Not the same for bikes? I'm very curious, I tried a much larger (1/5 ?) electric off road motorbike from a friend and it was really nice...

Because of the specifics of managing a turn with a bike, that starts with the driver initiating lean then easing off steering input to let the bike turn by its own dynamics, makes for less on-off feel in the simple steering. Thats my guess for difference to toy grade cars.
And no, no hopups.
Fitting mini parts would make it a more expensive, but still, -toy. Id rather fit allegro parts to a mini to make it less expensive, though nothing inside is the same.
The Allegro is an ok toy that behaves similar to hobby grade bikes but to a fraction of the price.

Just so you know, Banggood now has the same motorcycle for $22 shipped. I'm tempted to try it. For that price, how can you go wrong. Should be fun in the kitchen!

1/20 MOTO 翻滾兩圈 繼續玩 (0 min 43 sec)


The price is acceptable. But, it comes with only ONE battery. Don't know where to find the suitable batteries.

Does the Kyosho mini z motorbike have proportional steering? As far as I can tell from the pics they use the same setup.

The steering setups might look similar at first glance, but the Mini-Z Moto Racer uses a separate replaceable steering servo and has optional steering wires of different gauges to tune the steering response.
