Looks like a great deal....but doesn't say it's street legal. Where can you ride the thing? I mean it's sure no trail bike.

 

I know the pocket bikes are actually illegal here in CA. Some of my friends have had theirs impounded because they were riding on public roads.

On a side note could you imagine riding that thing on the freeway???

 

Lol there´s the problem with this thing. Because it´s considered a full sized motorcycle, it is street legal. But only with a license, registration, and insurance.

Suddenly it´s a lot more expensive than $579. But it would just be the coolest toy!

About the freeway, I would NEVER do that. But there are some who do. I have seen this bike bored out to 130cc and Turbocharged! 90 mph!

 

I just wish the photo had a person or something in it for scale. The sizes it gives makes it larger than your normal pocket rocket. If it sits waist high & is street legal I want one!

 

I want a new toy!!

Here is a site that has a vid of a guy riding one...looks uncomfortable, but fun.

I was just about to get on here and complain about this guy who lives up the road riding his loud pocketbike up and down the road at least 50 times every saturday morning at like 8:00 AM, but found this thread -

That thing is cool and I am impressed at the speed!

Here´s even more videos (including 90 mph!):

It really is an amazing machine!

 

Hm...
I am 14
You guys think I should buy 1?

I could save up for one
Be a pretty fun thing to learn on

 

I was thinking of doing the same when I was your age. Go for it if you're willing to wrench a little, but otherwise avoid it. Products from China that come from annonymous manufactures have a reputation for poor quality.

 

I have a few friends that have pits, mostly built-up Kawwie 110s (up to 165cc). I used to have a ball on those things but I'm swearin'-off 'em, from now on. Those things will get a lot more air, than you can safely land from...I've got a shattered foot to prove it.

 

They're death machines. No doubt about that. But that's all part of the appeal

 

on this note: Kazuma 110cc Viper dirtbike. Four speed, I think it could be riced and souped for street use, like a mini-motard from hell.

I did not read the ad as a Honda engine. The ad said "honda based" engine.

 

It's not a scooter and it's not a moped, so maybe there should be a separate forum for these. Possibly the most pointless bikes ever made.

 

I really enjoyed reading the Full 60 day warranty. It sounds like the warranty is void the second you ride the bike if you read the fine print.

If you find something wrong with the bike before putting fuel in it or riding it, they will accept a return as long as you pay to ship it back.

Greeting,
I like the way you set up that your motorcycleforum com forum is the homepage, nicely done Thanks!

 

Two of my friends bought these.

Word of advice, Tighten EVERYTHING when you get it. My friend was doing a wheelie across a parking lot, and the handlebars fell off. After that they both went through and tightened a total of 9 loose bolts.

They are uncomfortable to get on, but once you are locked into position its not too bad. Torquey enough for riding, but the height puts you right at the height of bumpers on trucks. Intense.

 

buy one, there lots of fun, ive got a little 50cc, go check out pocketbikeplanet.
