Looking for a pocket rocket.

[430csjj]

I`m looking for a pocket rocket for a bit of fun and I don't really know where to start. Any suggestions??


Thanks

What about a Mini??

One of the "old" ones.

And, in U.K., it shouldn't be dificult to find one for a good price. And parts are also kind of cheap.

It isn't very powerful, but with a few "subtle" mods you can tweak it to 100bhp, that for a car that weights about 650kg.

If you want more, you can tweak it a bit more, with a turbo or something like that and put it around the 140bhp.

If you want even more, there are companies in the UK that make them with Honda Vtec engines, with power around 160-220bhp.


The sky is the limit! ;)

i think he might of meant something along the lines of a pocket bike.

those 50 cc mine bikes that go like mad if moded right.

it depends electric or gas?

[cooperluke]

Oh... ok.

Didn't notice that it was a pocket rocket, in the Bike Chat... :P

I am also seeing what's around ..., there are a lot of different models, as I've seen, there are 39.5 and 50cc engines, with the 39.5 one beeing faster (don't know how...), this, in the 2 strokes category. Then, there are the 110cc, 4 strokes.

And there are speed bikes, choppers, cross, all kinds of bikes!

Electric preferably, but I don't mind petrol.

EDIT

Kinda realise that I`m edging towards petrol here!! I`m trying to look more at electric now.

[cooperluke]

Isn't petrol better???

I would prefer...

[Honda_PoD]

gas power is faster and long running then electric. but think of the environment...... :roll:
