A Guide to Chinese Pocket Bike Parts
If you have a pocket bike from China then you are going to need to be a little more intelligent than others may have to be about some things. The Chinese manufacturers produce a bunch of stuff and then they ship it out across the world under many different brand names. This means that when you go to replace parts you are often left with your mouth agape, wondering where the hell am I going to get what I need. There are pocket bike parts for Chinese rides are out there, but you will probably have to identify them visually by picture before you order them. Parts suppliers have found that the pieces will fit even if the model isn’t the same, i.e. they’re the same exact parts but they have a different name, hence the reliance upon visual identification.
Otherwise, you should have no problem finding engines that you need, stock parts, belts, CVT’s, and other miscellaneous items. It also might help to be a little fluent in mechanical knowledge when you go to repair or replace your pocket bike parts. Such things as brake drums, brakes, and choke cables are easily affordable and findable as well. So I don’t think you will have a problem as long as you bring your brain to bear on the problems in your pocket bike, which I’m sure you will.
Get a front caliper with pads for your Rocket or Cobra model and you’ll be off and running in no time. Do a quick search or talk to the people in your racing club about the issues that come up while you’re driving around. Just don’t be that guy who lets his pocket bike parts degrade and get out of hand; this is a recipe for disaster as we all know from experience whether it be in the racing field or even just from neglect and laziness.
Some people think scooters and mopeds are the same thing as pocket dirt bikes and they couldn’t be further from the truth. They obviously don’t know what they’re talking about, so I would suggest that if that’s what they have said to you then do not listen to them try to tell you what kind of pocket bike parts you need to get your ride up and going again. I have seen this turn out rather poorly for some good buddies of mine who listened to an imbecile. Is it worth a broken arm? I don’t think so. Those people won’t pay for your bike’s repair or maintenance or hospital bills to say the least.
You now have no excuse to not take care of your used pocket bike. Education and proactively taking care of our hobbies is the way we are able to enjoy them day in and day out.
