Are the Aprilia 125 and the Cbr 250 Real Bikes or Are They Mini Bikes Like Pocket Bikes?

May 17, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by cuteprettyinpinkaryl: Are the aprilia 125 and the cbr 250 real bikes or are they mini bikes like pocket bikes?

Best answer:

Answer by JayJay
They’re full-size bikes for adults (not too heavy though!)

Answer by whatever man
NO, they are full sized bikes with smaller engines

a 600cc bike can weigh the same as a 250cc bike

Answer by Trevor
They are definitely REAL BIKES, I am considering the Honda CBR 250 this spring.

Answer by Billy Conway
There are 100% real bikes! They are just a bit smaller displacement than most modern bikes.

Go back to the 80s and below, and a CBR 250 would be about an average bike! And The Honda Elite 250 scooter was the biggest displacement scooter you could get! Now its just a small scooter and many scooters are 400-650 cc+!

These days, we need a liter bike just to be considered a reasonable highway commuter! Funny. But it is because people drive 75-80 MPH most of the time on the freeway, therefor we need a bike that can cruise nice and smooth all day at 80 MPH with plenty of power to spare for passing. A 250 is typically out of the question here, with the exception of the Ninja 250, which can do triple digits!

A pocket bike is a non street legal 47-49 cc 2 stroke very small replica of a larger sports bike. They typically have a single speed transmission with a top speed of 30 MPH. They are made by cheap chinese manufactures in general and are of very poor quality, with the exception of real pocket bikes like polini pocket bikes.

A mini bike is typically a little put put bike with a single speed transmission or CVT with a small 4 stroke engine of 3.5-6.5 HP. These may be homemade, a kit, or bought. The engines look and sound very close to lawnmower engines, although they are very often mistaken for lawn mower engines while they are really horizontal shaft utility engine and lawn mower engines are vertical shafted and cannot be reversed due to oil lubrication design. They have a top speed from 20-45 MPH depending on gearing.

How to Ride a 49cc Pocket Bike?

May 16, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by : How to ride a 49cc pocket bike?

yeah, i’m thinking about buying a pocket bike but i’m wondering do they have clutches like bigger bikes, do they have gears??

or do you just start it up and you’re ready to ride w/o change gears or using the clutch to take off?

please, only answer if you have/had a 49cc pocket bike.

Best answer:

Answer by scooterboy
a pocket bike is an automatic , once you seat on the bike you place your hands between your legs to grab hold of the handle bars which means that your knees will be sticking out alot as your legs will be in a v shape and your feet will just about hold onto the side foot pegs..

Answer by cant spell!
Dude, I mean kid, they are weed eater engines on wheels you don’t need any thing ut a helmet to ride those toys just sit on and go.

Answer by Billy Conway
They are usually pretty easy to ride, depending on your size. It also depends on what kind of pocket bike you get. Yes, they are a bit underpowered, but I understand how your feeling. It is a bit scary if you have never ridden a motorized 2 wheeler, but pocket bikes are not scary at all. Most of them are a single speed automatic clutch job, but some of the bigger models use a 4 speed semi automatic transmission. These are pretty easy, kind of like a pit bike.

They have an automatic clutch, all you have to do is shift the gears. I would recommend a higher end more expensive pocket bike over a junk pocket bike. Don’t get the $ 179 pocket rockets, these things are truly junk and will fall apart. They only go 30 MPH, and have no acceleration.

If you have a little money, go on Craigslist and look into a polini pocket bike. They are a bit expensive, but those little things haul ass! They are also automatic single speeds or sometimes CVTs, but they have major HP.

Or you could get a 49 cc Honda pit bike. These are easy to ride as well. Look for a Honda CRF/XR 50 on craigslist. They run around $ 700 used and will last you a lifetime if you take proper care of them! I have many motorcycles, and my CRF 50 is the absolute best more reliable motorcycle I own to date. Starts first kick every time, and will run a true 45 MPH stock.

Those cheap pocket bike sites claim 47 MPH, but it is REALLY 47 KPH. I have seen them GPSd at 30 MPH tops. But if you want a pocket bike, look at the bigger 4 stroke 110 cc 4 speed models, not the best quality but you’ll be much better off than the cheap 2 stroke models!

Good luck!

Answer by mot-oh
You sit on the seat and you twist the throttle. Full auto.

Answer by Max Cruise
Dude, you sit on the bike and twist the throttle. No gears to change. That said, you are 6’4″ tall. You are way too tall to ride a non-street legal pocket bike.

Are Mini Choppers Pocket Bikes Ect Legal to Drive in Peoria Az?

May 15, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by Toki: are mini choppers pocket bikes ect legal to drive in peoria az?

what are the details of any laws about them?

Best answer:

Answer by Candid Chris
Not likely, but you could contact your local police and ask them.
Added: @ Max – Thanks, next time I’m in Peoria, Az I’ll rent a mini-chopper-pocket bike! (did it say if an Oregon MC license will work in Arizona?)

Answer by Max Cruise
Straight from the Peoria AZ website.
Q. Are mini bikes, scooters, go-peds, or pocket bikes legal?
A. Pocket bikes (mini motorcycles) are no different then any other motorcycle and must be registered with MVD, insured and the driver licensed.

They cannot be ridden on city sidewalks or in any City parks, the Peoria City complex or city parking structures
Any public street with four or more traffic lanes or a speed limit greater than 30 MPH.
Riders under 18 must wear a helmet.
Hours of operation: 8:00 am to sundown.
Must have a headlamp visible from 300 feet.
A rear red reflector visible from 500 feet.
A yellow reflector on each side visible from 200 feet.
Must have a muffler.
No high performance exhaust.
Must have a brake.
Cannot carry passengers.
Cannot carry packages which do not allow the operator to have at least one hand on the handlebar.
Must obey ALL traffic laws.
BUT here is the catch. Pocket bikes may not pass the requirements to be registered with the MVD. Also, insurance companies may choose not to offer insurance coverage.
Respectfully, stay away from these motorized toys. Don’t waste your money.
**Note, you have to be a licensed rider to operate a pocket bike**

How Old Do U Have to Be to Ride Mini Pocket Bikes on the Road in Destin Florida?

May 14, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by Ryan M: how old do u have to be to ride mini pocket bikes on the road in destin florida?

Best answer:

Answer by Max Cruise
Age is not an issue. Mini pocket bikes are not legal for the street.
Can’t ride them on bike paths, sidewalks, or public parking lots. Only legal on private property with owner’s consent.
Please do not waste your money on a pocket bike. Save your money for a real motorcycle.

Answer by James
You’re sending this question all over the world! Pick up the phone, and call the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, silly!

Q&a: How Can I Make a 49 Cc Mini Bike Faster?

May 14, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by Alex M: How can i make a 49 cc mini bike faster?

I just bought a 49 cc pocket bike and its really slow at accelartion, at top speed it goes about 40 mph, and im trying to find a way to make it much faster.
im thinking about possibly mounting a 125 cc engine on it and i need some pointers on how to do it

Best answer:

Answer by Craig M
get off of it.it’ll go faster.

Answer by kungdrew
put it on the trash collection truck they get up to sixy on the interstate on the way to the landfill

Answer by Nate
you guys…. don’t laugh, he’s being serious,

here’s what you do
1) wait for your balls to drop so you can handle this kind of thing.
2) buy a CBR, R6, Gixxr, whatever suits your fancy over 600cc’s
3) teather the pocket bike to the real bike and drag away, bet you could get 150 if you have a newer bike!

Answer by bikinkawboy
I was thinking about some smart answers also, but I think enough of them have been said. You must keep in mind that with only 49ccs to work with, you don’t have much to work with. Actually, at 40 mph I think you’re doing pretty good. My buddy’s 13 year old son has one and 18-20 mph is about all the better it will do. 125cc isn’t that big, but physically you may have a problem getting it to fit. I expect the drive chain is bigger and you’d have to change rear sprockets.

Then again, mating a hot 125 to that little thing might create a real fire breathing horse that can’t be tamed, so be careful. Like Frankenstein’s monster, it might be too beautiful and misunderstood for this world and you’ll have villagers chasing you with pitchforks and torches.

Any Idea About Motor Bikes, Pocket Bikes/mini Bikes?

May 12, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by k: Any idea about motor bikes, pocket bikes/mini bikes?

i want to buy a small bike. i searched and i found pocket bikes.. what are these? what i meant to say was, which is better the gas type or electric? which is better and what are the things i need to consider in getting one? thanks a lot for reading..

Best answer:

Answer by camaro425hp
pocket bikes are really tiny, gas is always better because you don’t have to wait for it to charge once you wear the battery down, with gas you fill it right back up and away you go, depends on what your planning on doing with it, if your looking to buzz around the roads you may want to consider asking your local license department because they may only allow scooters on the road unless you want johnny law after ya.

Answer by JetDoc
If you’re looking for transportation, then forget pocket bikes. They’re not street legal in most places. Get a moped or a small motorcycle that you can actually ride on the street. Check with your state’s DMV to see what kind of license you’ll need.

Can 11 Years Old Ride Mini Pocket Bikes,if They Are Street Legal.

May 12, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by cassandrafrobinson: Can 11 years old ride mini pocket bikes,if they are street legal.

Best answer:

Answer by SafetyDang
first off where are you.. depends if your in a city or a small town. check your local laws to find out. or call your local police station

Answer by So-crates AGAIN NorCal R&S Club
Mini pocket bikes arent street legal. They are too small – they do not reach the minimum height requirements for vehicles on the road.

So, the easy answer is NO. Its not street legal in the first place. That said, if it were street legal, you are required to be licensed in order to drive anything on a public road in the USA. And, you cant get a license at 11yo.

However, it is perfectly legal for an 11yo to ride a minibike/pocketbike on PRIVATE land.

Answer by Dash R
Even if its street legal, you CANNOT legally drive it on the road.

How Can I Convert My Pocket Bike from Auto to Manual Transmission?

May 10, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by : how can i convert my pocket bike from auto to manual transmission?

I just bought a pocket bike from a friend and the engine is seized. I don’t mind buying a completely new engine but if I did, I would prefer to have manual transmission instead of auto. The bike currently has a rear brake where the clutch should be. How would I fix that? Also, what would I need to make it street legal?

Best answer:

Answer by Philip P
DON’T
YOU CAN’T ecconomically

You bought it?
WHY!!!!
If it was worth anything or it was fixable he would have done so…
He is no freind if he made you pay for a P.O.S. that was broken and didn’t work
Give it back and get your money back

Answer by Dan W
Start over.
Sell the pig for parts and buy a bike you want, it is cheaper by the time you’re done.

Answer by musicislife
yeah to be honest those things really arnt worth much of anything when they are working. i would have to think real hard about taking one for free off someones hands and having it take up space in my garage…..youd be VERY lucky to get any money back out of it that you put into it..

and no, theres nothing you can do to make it street legal. well, technically if its over 49cc then it MIGHT be legal….but that dosent make it safe!!!

Pocket Bike ….?

May 8, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by Cessna 172 Man!: Pocket Bike ….?

I have a couple questions…….

1.Is this a okay bike for begginers http://www.powersportsmax.com/product_info.php/cPath/39/products_id/461

2.What type of gas you recommend (as in octane)

3.What happens if you use regular car or motor oil instead of 2 stroke oil.

4.How do you adjust idle on this.

Thanks a lot

Best answer:

Answer by m0rdecai
My advice get a full sized pocket bike, soo much more comfortable and fun.
REgular 89 octane works.
Dont learn just use the 2 stroke oil.
As for the idle they are all different but it should be a knob on the engine.

Answer by What’s up?
You HAVE to use 2-stroke oil.

Answer by wiggysan
Answers to question 1 , 2 , 3 & 4 :

We dont care what you do with it.

Its a child’s toy. I have just sold my daughters as she has out grown it. By the way, she is nearly 7. How does that make you feel? Like a boy ? Good.

Buy a real bike like a CR80 and then we can start talking to you like an adult.

Answer by roskez13
#1: This pocket bike is a toy, and soon discarded. Get a small 50cc or 80cc bike that is larger and will be easier to ride once he/she gets the hang of it.
#2: Regular gas is just fine. High octane gas won’t make any difference at all
#3: You must use 2 stroke oil. It doesn’t contain the detergents that car oil has and it can stand up to the higher temperatures that car oil can’t. Don’t skimp on this oil!!!
#4: On the carburetter there will be a screw or knob somewhere that adjusts the idle. It also might be on top where the throttle cable goes in. Ask the salesman where you buy it or just stop by a bike shop. Any mechanic should be happy to show you. If he doesn’t, you can scratch that bike shop off of your future repair place list.
I’ve rode 2 stroke and 4 stroke bikes for over 30 years and love both of them. Good Luck!

Answer by 750_Rider
This thing will fall apart in less than 6 months. These bikes require a high level of maintenance that is just not worth it. The quality in workmanship is too low for the performance. In other words I would go 35mph on something so cheap and flimsy. Even if it’s a toy for a kid, it’s so cheap, it’s a health risk. Motors don’t last long either.

Instead of getting false information or an answer that makes you feel good call your local Police Station and ask them. You will only get false information here on Yahoo! Answers. Go to the source and use Common Sense.

Answer by Polar Bear
It still qualifies as a vehicle,….. unless the route to the store is on private property, you can be cited. (you are a minor… your folks would be cited)

That includes the sidewalk, as that is also public property. …. sorry.

Answer by jabster159
no its electric and people ride them alot so it isnt illegal if it is u can always stop by ur local secretary of state and get a moped liscence for it.i had a gas mini bike and everyone would bitch how loud it was in your case its electric so no exhaust means quiet and tho i never got pulled over for riding it in the streets.

Answer by Candid Chris
Thanks for going green, but it’s still illegal to ride without a license on the street and that is not going to happen in these circumstances.

Answer by WeRelectrified
Purchasing a conversion kit for your bike is probably your best bet. Conversion kits from http://www.werelectrified.com/Default.asp?Redirected=Y are efficient and very affordable Under CA state law they fall under the following category:

: To be legal on Oregon public roads, they must fit one of the definitions in the state’s laws.

Riders must be at least 16 years old.

Use of these vehicles also may be restricted in cities, counties, parks, bike lanes, crosswalks, sidewalks and other locations and situations.

Mopeds must be titled and registered, but Oregon law specifically exempts motor-assisted scooters, electric assisted bicycles, and personal mobility devices from title and registration requirements

Well do you know a lot about engines or how to maybe fix them, because these things have been known to run into engine troubles.

Answer by zZMagikZz
As long as you play it safe. <-- May sound gay or what not but I am serious. Anyhow, sure I think 12 is plenty old. I think pocket bikes are cool. They are nice, compact, and fun to pull wheelies with. My friend drove into town with one and got some food but he was told by a cop in town that he could not do that. Pocket bikes are especially nice if you like street bikes, but you can not ride or get one. It also depends on your family's money situation. That looks like a good deal cut down to the 100's from 400!

Answer by Ryan M
That thing is sweet. People are saying that they break all the time but you can’t go wrong buying something you can ride for less than 200. It also has a lot of horse power

Question by : Has anyone ever been killed in a neighborhood on a pocket bike?

If no one or a little amount of people have ever died while riding pocket bikes inside of a neighborhood then I will probably be able to convince my parents to let me get one. I’m not gonna ride on the freeway like the dumb f***s who get killed.

Well.
I don’t think anyone would be able to answer this as a yes, but no, I haven’t. And I don’t know anyone who has.
Good luck~

To be honest mate, they are no danger at all and its stupid that some parents don’t let you ride them, they are fun, they don’t go fast, and the most you can do with such a little thing is graze your knee..
the only reason i see is because of the noise, they are a little noisy but as long as your riding on a field or something then it should be ok.

LOS ANGELES — Miniature motorcycles, known as pocket bikes, have become popular items this summer and many children are riding them illegally on city streets and sidewalks, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California. Pocket bike riders who use them on streets and sidewalks put themselves in danger of serious injury or death.

Pocket bikes are sold at toy stores, automotive supply outlets and neighborhood shops. One company estimates it will sell 500,000 pocket bikes by the end of the year.

“There are very few places to ride a pocket bike legally, so children are riding them on streets and sidewalks,” said Auto Club spokesperson Carol Thorp. “We know of 2 fatalities involving young people on pocket bikes. One child was killed in South L.A. and a 14-year-old El Monte boy was killed when he was hit by a truck. The driver of the truck told police that he could not see the pocket bike rider.”

As you can see from other answers, yes, there have been deaths involving pocket bikes. Note the following: The ONLY legal place to ride a pocket bike is on private property where you have been given permission by the property owner to ride. In other words, around your own house. ANYWHERE else is illegal. If you’re looking for real transportation, but aren’t old enough to get a driver’s license, get a bicycle.

Last year a man and his 2 year old daughter were killed riding one in a quiet side street not 6 miles from me. He was wearing a helmet, his daughter wasn’t, she died almost instantly, he died on his way to hospital – no other vehicles involved in the accident.

Try craigslist.com this is a site that you don’t have to sign in on or even sign up for. It has no pop ups or advertising. It is the largest site since ebay with no ads. Once you go there you will always go back. Just go there click on your state and then on the page that comes up click on the city closest to your own. Then just click on what ever category you are looking for something in. Just like a news paper style ads. Good Luck and Have fun looking.

Would Putting New Carburetor on Pocket Bike Help Performance?

May 3, 2012 Bike Guy Pocket Bikes

Question by //BIG C//: Would putting new carburetor on pocket bike help performance?

I have had my pocket bike for a while and i have never had a fuel filter on it so i think there might be alot of dirt in it. i just wanted to know if it would make a noticeable difference if i put a new one on there? and also would i have to use it for a while until it works properly like break it in?

Answer by Irv S
No more then cleaning the old one.
You would have to tune it, (probably re-tune the cleaned old one also),
when you installed/re-installed it.
Once tuned, (if done right), that’s as good as it will ever get.

Answer by S Z
A lot of carburated motorcycles don’t have fuel filters but the carburators don’t get clogged. The reason is the dirt sinks to the bottom of the float bowl. Instead of replaceing a fuel filter you drain the bottom of the float bowl. There should be a screw on the bottom. This is also the method for removing water that gets into the system. If you drain it into a small glass you can see how much water and dirt you have accumulated. Putting a new carburator on it would be a waste of money. The engines on those bikes are not that great and you will never get that much power from it. If you did tune it to have more power the cheap piston would not take the extra heat. Carburators don’t need a break in period. But, really for that size of carburator they don’t sell high performance ones. It would be no better than the original. .
