i picked up a pair of pw's about a year or so ago for my 3 year old twin boys. Bought one for $100, non running, and the other for $150 barely running. So I tore them down and completely rebuilt them. The boys definitely aren't fast yet but at least they look good on their new (30+ year old) bikes.

Some more detailed pics, and more info would be appreciated. I'm just about in the market for a pw50.
It looks like motoseat seat covers? How did you get a red tank? Is it painted or decals? Where did you source your parts? Paint or powder coated frames/wheels?
Just because it's a pw50 doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a detailed write up.

Find an old bike, restore it to like knew, and still be competitive in the PW class with new ones. So much smarter than buying a new bike that will be outgrown in ~2 years.
I think this mentality also teaches your kids that is OK to ride used bikes and there is value in making your own repairs. You are teaching them lessons that will set them up for the rest of their lives!

No cooler feeling than seeing your kiddo go for a rip. Have fun!
