Super Pocket bikes for tykes of the Now Generation

As children grow into teenagers, they emulate adults; they want cars and motorbikes like grownups. Pocket Bikes were made to satisfy this urge. A pocket bike, also called mini bike, pocket rocket, or pit bike is nothing but a lighter, smaller version of a regular motorbike and can run on electricity or gasoline. As the child or teenager goes on a pocket bike around the go-karting track, he is quite the man he would like to be.

Pocket bikes that run on electricity are safer for children because they are lighter, with smaller engine capacity and have lower maximum speed of 15 to 20 kmph. Whereas the gasoline powered pocket bikes can have a more powerful engine of up to 6 HP and can reach speeds up to 35-45 kmph. The smaller version of the pocket bike stands at about 50 cms and the bigger one can be up to 1 meter; clearly they are made for children, yet, the fact that they are motorized , can go fast and can be heavy, compels great caution in their use.

Super pocket bikes are the bigger versions of pocket bikes. Usually they have a 2 stroke 110 cc engine and are gas-powered. They can reach speeds up to 70 kmph and are certainly not children’s toys. Super pocket bikes are really hobby bikes and are used by teenagers and young adults for super power bike racing.

Although many commercial manufactures of pocket bikes and super pocket bikes proliferate round the world, there are pocket bike enthusiasts who build their own pocket bikes from parts from their old bikes.

Different countries have different laws that govern the use of regular roads for riding pocket bikes or super pocket bikes. Most countries do not allow riding these on public roads since pocket bikes are not registered and their specifications such as their height and features like tail light, head light, horn, rear- view mirror etc. are not compliant with the requirements of motor vehicle laws. It is thus advisable not to break the law and compromise safety but to ride your pocket bikes or super pocket bike on tracks such as go-karting tracks or race tracks or on private property with the permission of the owner.

Riding a pocket bike is a very exciting activity for children but it is advisable to exercise great caution while letting children ride a pocket bike.
