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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
