Since there isent going to be many more track days till the end of the year I thought I might get myself a pocket bike and have some fun on the weekends with one since my friend and a couple of his friends from work have some and they go hooning on the weekends.

I have been doing a bit of reading and there seem to be a few different models around all around 49cc but weigh different and have different top speeds, Tank capacity and a few other little differences, altho they all come from similiar places in China.

These places sells some

http://www.pocketracer.com.au/webcontent8.htm (This one sells modified ones that are preety sick)

Even MattR in SAU was selling some to SA guys for only around $440 which seems a little cheap.

Who has one and know a bit about em?

Do they need to be registered etc?

I know Adam and he is a good bloke plus he told me he has a container of Water Cooled Bikes that do 90km/hr. Prank and I are associated with them.

If you are after a cheaper one .. mine is for sale as I want to get a Water Cooled one.

It has been ridden 6 times and dropped once by a friend going 5 km/hr (Can't expect too much, he is an STI Driver)

I have a few spares (chain, sprocket, spark plug)

Was riding really well until I took off the rear wheel off and the brakes fell apart :)

But I'll get it back together soon.

Send me a PM if you're intersted.

for $250??? From where? it must be the mini of the mini range for that price

there's 3 size's, the price goes up with the size of course. these one are worth around $800aus(i believe its the smallest size). some guy from my work is importing one bulk load and worked out a deal. take's 6 wks to get here, in plain red, green or blue (jap style with decals and i think tool kit) the chopper just comes in black and silver. i am told they are capable of 70km's per hour.

Also he has sent me upgrade kit's. High comp 54cc motors, air filters, carbon exhusts, key starts etc...... theres a s**t load of upgrades.......

you think i'll need a trailer on the back of my liner for this thing :rant:

They arent worth the , unless you have spare cash, and are after a good laugh. They broke in a few days. Fun none the less, waste of good money though. :rant:

How do they break exactly? There are already clubs that race at go cart tracks so there has to be some realibility to them.

The biggest engine for the pocket 2 stroke bikes seems to be the 50cc ones then you get the 4 stroke 74cc one which come with 4 speed gear box. Some of the choppers have a 107cc engine that can reach over 100 clicks.

One had a dodgy motor - need I say any more.

The other, little brackets ect broke that held on the plastics. Seat broke, dodgy wiring job on kill switch, which lead to awesome shocks through the fingers. – Just small things really. The other bike was just a pig.

I guess you get what you pay for,

a friend of mine repairs them for a supplier who sells the bikes at about 500 each. all i can say is they are cheap and nasty machines that break down way too often to even bother with.

if you do get one make sure it has a long waranty and the place wont go under in 2 weeks so you can acually claim on it.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
