Pretty fun, I'd never buy one though. If you are dumb enough to drive it in the street, don't be surprised if no one sees you and you get hit.

I'm tempted by a pocket bike but I have never ridden one.

23790554, what are the specifications for your 'bike? Is it a 50cc 2 stroke?

Auto or manual?

HP/Top Speed?

How much did it cost (if you don't mind me asking)?

whats the differnece between good/bad pocke bikes?

23790554 · 05-16-2005, 04:35 AM

i got mine cheap at AUD$500 or US$300

2 stroke 49cc
just 1 gear
standard is at 3hp, I installed several things on it so atm it is about 5hp
top speed is at 62km/h

ther are pretty fun, i got it because i thought i would learn a bit of mechanic skills, and i have

62km/h may be slow compare to a car, but its REALLY FAST when you are so low to the ground

this is a midi sized pocket bike, which is very comfortable to ride, there is however the "normal" size, which i can't fit into

there is alot of difference between a good and a bad pocket bike, all these are made in china, and i've been quite lucky not to have much problems, problems like not able to start, broken this broken that

Thats the same with my go-kart. It's 5.5 hp and does about 40mph (64kph) but the base of the seat is 5cm from the ground, so no matter what speed you are ACTUALLY doing, it feels lke your going 100mph!

Those little bikes are ace, theres loads of them around here, and a friend has bought one of the dirt-cross style bikes. It's bloody fast for a 50cc!
