Getting into Pocket Bikes

steveofsatan · #1 10-06-2004

Hi.

I saw pocket bikes on a paintball fourm. I love em. they look like great fun. i don't want to spend too much like around 300. My friends are getting into em. What kind of gas do they use? are they illeagel in certain areas? Is there a specific brand i should buy from? Do i need specific Safety gear? I'd like a bike that can go 45mph at least. Please this info would be great.

Thanks,

Steve

Pocketbike use premium gasoline mixed with 2 stroke oil that you mix yourself. Also, they are not streetlegal and it also depends on the states laws.

As for gear, helmet, gloves, jacket, if you dont have a jacket then get elbow pads, and knee pads.

As for buying a bike going 45mph, look into European pocketbikes like Polini, GRC, Blata, etc. But expect to pay more for the quality and the performance.

If you want a cheaper bike that does 45 mph + then look into a Blata b1 clone. Its under Manufacture-Callgaris-water cooled
