Children with a great knack for driving finally have a solution. The name of this solution is Pocket bike. These bikes are an exact miniature replica of the large sports bikes, although being just about one-fourth in size as compared to them.
The maximum height of this bike is about 50 cms and its length is near about 1 meter. With a weight of 50 lbs or so, these bikes look actually like toy bikes. But that is exactly not their purpose. They are meant for either serious work or for serious racing (here we purposefully overlook the fact, that these races take place on kart racing tracks!). They are even packed with two-stroke engines or four-stroke engines. These two-stroke engines provide a maximum speed of 25 to 35 mph while the four-stroke engines provide a maximum speed of 60 to 80 mph. There power delivery ranges from 2.4 hp to nearly 18 hp. Thus, functionally, they are as good as normal racing bikes.
These bikes can therefore be used by adults who want to take part in motorbike racing but are afraid of the major expenses and risks associated with motorbike racing. By driving the pocket bikes in private properties like gardens or in kart racing tracks, these people can eliminate the risk factor. As a matter of fact, these bikes are not allowed to be driven on the streets in most of the countries of the world because they lack certain technicalities required for the purpose. Moreover, the practice is not very costly as pocket bikes are available at prices as cheap as US $150 and the price shoots up to as much as US $7000.Another advantage of pocket bikes is that, they can be driven without licenses.
In fact, this is also ideal for kids who want to learn motorbike racing techniques.
