Pocket Bikes

[INASNT]

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?

Im waiting for you to go "but dont worry about them, I can get em for you for $300, act fast! only 5 in stock!"

[Snowman]

I think one of the guys from here actually does sell them.

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.

[INASNT]

The water cooled one seem to be the latest go.

poowww that would be 2 quick for hooning around on public roads with 100+km/h

$6000 wow i could rebuild my engine with that $$!!!

[swordfish]

i'm getting one, air cooled for $250. or a chopper stlyed one for $375.

[INASNT]

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

oh Im sure they are strong

but the question is......

are they strong enough to take what u dish out? :Bang:

[beefy]

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.

sam shutup, or i will come and steal those option dvd's of yours :kick:

beefy

Which model is it and wha maintenance is reuqired on these to keep em running well?

[swordfish]

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

I have two of these bikes. Pic's in gallery. They arent worth the money IMHO, 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.

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.

[Nismo_Boy]

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,

[predator]

denham get one.. and somebody please photograph him flying off at 90km/hr as the bike disintigrates around him, and/or gives him a fatal electric shock

Ahh.. man they don't make cheap fad crap in china like they used to!

[linxus40]

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.

[Dahtone Racing]

we are going to have one on our stand at autosalon finalbattle

its a full race one that can go over 100Ks
