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?

If you are after one I suggest looking at this site.

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.

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).

      Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
