    Hello all, I'm new to the pocket bike world. I've done some work on minibikes before using a 212cc 4 stroke engine. I recently picked up a cheap 49cc 2 stroke cat-eye bike and I was looking to do an engine swap. Was wondering if this engine would work for it, or if I would need to mods. Thanks...

    Hey guys I'm from Canada and have decided to fix up my pocket bike. Just found out it is a cateye. Any tips on where to order parts from would be sweet. It needs a couple new ferrings and a new seat, rear tire and shock, missing bolts, etc. Thanks

    So I have recently purchased a cateye. As of right now, it needs a carb cleanout, and will only run while choked. Top speed is right around 24 miles per hour, and it takes forever to get there. I am 147lbs and the bike needs a good push just to get going. I'd like to change out the front and...
