Pocket Bikes

[iGy]

Hey, I am interested in buying a gasoline powered pocket bike. I was wondering if someone has a site or something where I can research the different models or if anyone has a model they can reccomend. Can't wit till I get one of those things......

Hey is that a bike in your pocket or..........

Unless that bike has bitten you in the ankle, this should be moved to the motorcycle forum.

My friend got a pocket bike. The only problem with them from what I can tell is that things like to fall off really quickly. If you do get one, make sure you buy rubber washers from a hardware store and put them under every screw you want to keep on your bike.

Also, make sure you get the right kind of pocket bike. The ones that actually do go faster than 25. Some companies sell fake ones that go only about 15 or some crap.

I have pics if you want to PM me.

Thread moved to Street Bikes.

I know of about a dozen people who are all in the process of buying some pocket bikes right now. I can't wait til I have a job and can afford one for myself!!!

i've priced them at $3500aus for a base model and not sprayed race rep. very easy to come off and can go around 100k's (60mph) but also weight restricted to 100kg. i want one to hang on my wall as art just to piss off my wife

anyone know a website where i can find a pocket bike that gos around 60mph

These bikes don't do 60mph. stock. They are not like the real pocketbikes from Italy. Probably fully upgraded the bikes could be able to pull it off.

Nope none of the italian mades go 60. Do you know how unstable 40 MPH is and that is fast for most pocket bikes. The italian mades are not made for the speed they are made for power and low end. They can pull hard out of a corner where as the chinese ones aka cags, will not pull hard but top out around 29 stock. Even the italian made blatas and polinis will top out around 25-30 stock. But many mods can be done. I have a cag and a grc and the grc was given to me and is definately worth the money. The cag is cheap, and thats all it is, cheap. They fall apart and need to be maintained more than they are ridden. So save your money for a base model grc or blata. You wont be dissapointed.

hey dude. we have a track down here that is especially for the little bastards. not sure where ours are made but have two speed auto boxes, bugger all suspension and they go 100km/hr (60mph). we hire them the same as go karts and there is even a national series. we have a store dedicated to selling them and they have two models. one for kiddies and one for adults. obviously i looked at the adult version due to the weight restriction.

my cousin got one today,its underpowered and very cheaply made. its a cag or whatever, i would recommend staying away from a pocketbike unless uve seen and test rode. the imitation bikes have been getting really cheaply made latly so i would strongly recommend not getting one.
