Q&a: Pocket Bike, Mini Bike?

Question by iamvman: Pocket Bike, Mini Bike?

I am looking for some type of bike. I am 15, and I know I can not get a full motorcycle, so just something for my neighborhood and around my house. I do not want a little pocketbike that you are scrunched up in, I have seen other people riding, and it looks very uncomfortable. I have heard about a medium, between the size of a pocketbike and a motorcycle. Does anyone have any information on where, how, and how much I could get this? I am looking for the MEDIUM, bigger than a pocket rocket, but smaller than a real motorcycle.
Thanks

Q&a: Mini Pocket Rockets?

Question by curtie94: mini pocket rockets?

I’m just wondering were the best place to buy a mini pocket rocket.

Best answer:

Answer by sleepythreefifty
Depends on where you live. Before, it used to be legal for the flea markets around my place to sell but now they get fined for each bike. Theres always places online that ship. Sometimes you can even find some at garage sales. I’m not sure about where you live but if there’s any flea markets around – you should check them.

Answer by Garfield
Save your money. Those things are junk.

Answer by forktail_devil

What Is the Difference Between Pocket Bikes and Mini Bikes?

Question by Patrick P: What is the difference between Pocket Bikes and Mini Bikes?

I’ve heard a lot of things about “Pocket bikes” and “Mini bikes” but I’m not sure what the difference is between them (if there is any.) Can someone tell me what the difference is?

Best answer:

Answer by cgriffin1972
Nothing besides most mini bikes are home made.

They are 49cc engine, which means they are not street operale like any other mini bike.

Sure they have headlights and a horn and do 30MPH+

But they have no brake lights
no turn signals
and no title registation
and no where to put a plate.

So they are considerd by law enforcment to be mini bikes.

Answer by Superman
Semantics, possibly just the difference between the generic and brand names we use all the time. Like the differences between “Band-Aid®” and “bandage”, “Kleenex®” and “tissue”, or “ChapStick®” and “lip balm”.

Defined in California, both “pocket bikes” and “miniature bikes” are illegal to be operated on public streets.

Answer by Candid Chris
Read the law, ‘restricted to closed track use only’.

Answer by Dimo J
Pocket bikes are so horrible that the State Legislature wrote a special section Just For You:

CVC 21720. A pocket bike shall not be operated on a sidewalk, roadway, or any other part of a highway, or on a bikeway, bicycle path or trail, equestrian trail, hiking or recreational trail, or on public lands open to off-highway motor vehicle use.

The *FUN* part is CVC 21721 (see link, below.)

Is There a Govern on a Mini Razor Pocket Rocket (non Gas)?

Question by hunter m: is there a govern on a mini razor pocket rocket (non gas)?

if so how?

Best answer:

Answer by muck raker
If it doesn’t run on gas, it can’t have a governor plate, because it has no carbeurator. Electric is limited by the strength of the electric motor (usually in amps) or by the strength of the power source, (usually in wattage).

Mini Pocket Rockets Is a Rip Off, Should I File a Report with the Better Business Bureau?

Question by Lanesa S: Mini Pocket Rockets is a Rip Off, Should I file a Report With The Better Business Bureau?

Mini Pocket Rockets Accessories Online Inc. www.minipocketrockets.com

I purchased a X7 4-Stroke Super Pocket Bike and a helmet from Mini Pocket Rockets Accessories Online Inc. on December 5, 2006. I received the bike via Fed Ex on December 12, 2006. The X7 Super Pocket Bike came with fuses and the battery was dead. I called and requested that they send me another battery, the fuse was not as important to me as the bike. I purchased fuses from an online company that shipped to me right away. A person from Mini Pocket Rockets told me that he would shipped me a battery right away. I waited for about a week and received know battery. I called again and they told me the same thing. At this point I was very angry and tried emailing them because I could not get a call through, as all of my phone calls were going to the voice mail.
If this sounds familiar. File a Report with http://www.ripoffreport.com

Best answer:

Answer by Oguz Olcay
My friend, sorry for what happened to you. I would not file a report with BBB. After all, who is looking at that site before you buy something? Honestly, did you look at their site before you bought this product? I bet you didn’t.

I think posting this question to Yahoo! Answers is a bigger punishment for them.

Answer by guardrailjim
You can’t prove in a court of law that the original battery wasn’t in working condition when you received the bike.
You can’t prove that you didn’t fry the battery, trying to charge it improperly.
Bite the bullet and purchase a new battery.
Don’t bother filing a report.
One of life’s lessons – don’t buy though mail order.
Even if it had a warranty, you’d have to mail it back to them, so they could honor the warranty and repair it.
Even if you were to mail something back for repairs, they could give you the brush off and keep telling you their waiting for parts.
I know this isn’t what you want to hear – just let it go.

Answer by alcontch
I have been researching for a street legal scooter and have seen the pocket rockets you are talking about. Just about every web site I have seen tells you in the fine print that the battery may and usually needs to be charged. This really sucks for the consumer like you and I, especially if we are hours away from any dealers that can help us hands on. I have also noticed that some of the batteries need to be filled also before charging. Good luck with whatever you decide, but you may want to find a relative or friend and try trickle charging the battery after checking the fluid levels.

What Super Pocket Bike Do You Recommend: X15, X18, X19, or X22?

Question by : What super pocket bike do you recommend: x15, x18, x19, or x22?

What is the best and most reliable online store for a super pocket bike? Are there any walk-in dealerships for any of the listed models? (I live in north jersey).

Best answer:

Answer by Dimo J
The “super pocket bikes” you mention are all cheap unreliable Chinese made junk that no sane person will recommend to anyone. If you want to waste you money go ahead, just don’t come crying when learn the facts. There are NO “best and most reliable” stores — on line or otherwise. They know they have a crap product, they lie about their product, they hide who they are.

Answer by molitor
the X15 & X18 are good for target practice. The X19 & X22 make splendid boat anchors once a rope has been tied to ‘em, These things are Chinese junk. save your money for a legitimate bike!

Answer by Max Cruise
I don’t recommend any pocket bikes. Cheap junk and a waste of money. Not legal on the street, sidewalk, bike path, or bike lanes.
Please don’t waste your money on one of the motorized toys. Save your money for a real motorcycle when you are of driving/riding age.

Why Wont My Pocket Bike Start?

Question by Erica E: Why wont my pocket bike start?

Before I used to be able to start my pocket bike by giving it full throttle and it would start. Now it wont start up at all. I know nothing about pocket bikes. I don’t know what kind or anything like that. The pull start cord is on the right side of the bike. It’s a 49cc. Can someone give me an idea of what might be wrong or tell me how to fix it? Maybe someone had this same problem.

Best answer:

Answer by A A
it wont start because its made in china and is not good quality.

could be you have the gas/oil mix wrong, could be its just broke

Answer by jack of all trade’s
well first check if the ignition switch is on, secondly may have a “flooded the engine”, does the bike have a strong gas smell from the carburetor? if it does you need to pull the spark plug and dry it off and wire brush it while it is out, dip it in gas let it dry. sometimes blowing on it will dry it faster, put the spark plug back in and it should fire right up! try using the choke valve next time, opening full throttle some time’s will flood the engine.

How Can I Make My Pocket Bike Faster?

I got a used pocket bike and it is my first one and it goes alittle slower then i thought it would be is there any way i can make it faster? (gas powered) idk the brand or model

Best answer:

Answer by Samuel M
First, Take The Body Panels Off And Spend A Bit Getting Familiar With The Engine. Make Sure There Are No Governers Or Throttle Limiters On It. (I Had A TL On Mine).
Out On A Limb But, Nitrous Always Speeds Everything Up. Just Mix It With The Gas/Oil And She’ll Pick Up A Little Better. Or You Can Rebuild It With Better Parts, Swap The Engine… Anything You’d Do To A Real Car Or Bike. It’s Just Cheaper And Smaller. If You Are Serious.
Just Never, Ever Mess With The Exhaust Pipe. I Did And I Got More Torque (For Wheelies) But, Lost 12 MPH On The Top End.

Q&a: Mini-Bike/ Pocket-Bike Purchase?

Question by MCR-fan: Mini-Bike/ Pocket-Bike Purchase?

I am looking into buying a pocket bike and have a few questions.
(Please don’t advertise yours if your trying to sell it.)

1. What is a good Price range?
2.What does 49cc or 100cc mean?
3. Where Should I Buy From?
4. Whats the best kind?
5. Are they street legal?
6. Could i ride it to school? maybe on the side walk?

Thank you.

Best answer:

Answer by captainbluey
1) For pocket bikes in Australia, they range between $ 400.00 and $ 1200.00

2) 49cc and 100cc refers to the cubic capacity of the motor. This means that 100 cubic centimeters is the capacity of the engines cylinder.

3) The nearest, cheapest bike shop to you.

4) I wouldn’t bother with a pocket bike, you will be very limited to where you can ride. You would be better of with a mini bike. At least then you could ride off road.

5) No, they are not street legal.

6) No you cannot legally ride on the footpath.

Answer by cow girl 365
1.) 50-700 dollars
2.) how fast or slow ur bike will go. 100cc meaning the fastest
3.) Amazon.com
4.) razor
5.) depends on where u live
6.) depends on where u live agian.

Answer by Jack B.
I can answer a few of those for you.

2- cc’s refers to the displacement of the engine. The more cc’s, the bigger the engine. cc’s is specifically cubic centimeters. So if you have a 49cc bike, that means that every revolution of the crankshaft, it displaces 49 cubic centimeters of air.

4- The best kind really depends on your preferences. If you want an off road kind of fun bike, go for a dirt bike with knobbier tires and a bigger engine. If you’re just looking for something fun to play around with, go with whatever is cheapest.

5/6- No, these are not street legal. They don’t have the necessary safety equipment, and you would need a motorcycle license to drive it even if it were street legal. If you live somewhere kind of off the beaten path, you could probably ride back roads to school, but these bikes are not anywhere close to being street legal.

Answer by Jeremy W
theres a place in adelaide called three amigos and a 49cc bike cost about $ 220-$ 250 so that should be an average price and i dont think thers any good brands there all the same really and there not street legal.

Answer by Matt K
1. about £100 to £200
2. the size of the engine
3. ebay
4. apache/supermoto/malaguti (nothing chinese)
5. no. not at all. private land only.
6. no and no (not legally anyway but it would be pretty cool XD

Answer by Fedex
i wouldn’t buy one my brother hap one it be gan to fall a part right away i would go for some ting like the min boha from canadian tier smiler size but its not for the looks

Answer by Firecracker .
I can only answer the last two for you.
I’m not interested in them enough to know the other stuff.

#5: They are not street legal. Mini bikes never were, and most pocket bikes don’t come close.

#6: No you couldn’t ride it to school. You can’t ride on the side walk, and if it’s not street legal you can’t ride it on the street.

Answer by dirtytricksracing
They are toys so a couple of hundred new. CC is engine size Toys-R-Us walmart. Pep boys ebay they all have them. There is no best kind they are all toys. Not street legal anywhere read the adds very carefully they do not say they are legal for the street beyond the shadow of a doubt. You can not ride it on the sidewalk anywhere in the USA. And if you could ride on street you will have to be old enough to get a drivers license and insurance

Best answer:

Answer by BigKanDo
idk

Answer by jon
If you get crappy reviews on pocket bikes…why would you STILL want one?

If you havent figured it out yet, they are junk, and illegal to ride anywhere except private property on a closed course.

Answer by Max Cruise
The review are not good because pocket bikes are not good. Doesn’t matter which site you buy from. Seriously, you are wasting your money buying a pocket bike.
Pocket bikes are only legal on private property with owner’s consent.
Not legal on the road, bike path, bike lane, sidewalk, or public property.
My advise, save your money for a real motorcycle when you are of driving/riding age.
