Looking at Super Pocket Bikes: Their Engines, Etc.
Super pocket bikes are all the rage in Europe, Asia, and now the Americas. They are like mini GP motorbikes except they’re more affordable. Because they are about half the size of standard motorcycles, you can move them around much more easily. You can store them in a corner of your garage, or even fit them inside your house.
Believe it or not, this phenomenon has its roots in Japan and Italy, both sites of fine manufacturing and engineering throughout the years. The Japanese especially have proved their mettle in making things smaller without giving up the quality; often even improving upon what has originally been developed elsewhere such as the United States.
Did you know that the 110cc super pocket bikes can quickly reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour. That is movement, baby! The feel of the wind and the air just zipping on by your head is exhilarating to say the least. But don’t take my word for it. Jump on one yourself.
These miracles can be had for anywhere from a cheap $200 on up to $3,000. You will get what you pay for. Merely consider your budget, but know that if you buy a really cheap one its parts will not be supported by your local mechanics and motorcycle shops.
Now, the super pocket bikes in particular are just out of this world for the speed freaks in all of us and the daredevils too. They weigh approximately 90 pounds and have gas tanks that can last for about 30-40 miles. They have serious engines, especially on the upper-end, modeled after Hondas, and people love to race them. Many dirtbike and motocross racers have taken a fancy to them and people will take them on tracks like that.
Beware of buying a super pocket bike from China as it will probably not come in the greatest condition and will take months to get to your house. Like I said, you get what you pay for generally. Check local sources like Craigslist for classified listings or even eBay. Buying used from a neighbor is a good way to go and they can probably give you some good tips as well. You will also have an idea how honest that person is.
The engine size of these super pocket bikes ranges from 45cc all the way to 125cc, and 2 stroke engines. Now the technology is just superb in the better of the offering available to consumers, and you can likely get a solid one for not much money at all, possibly even less than $1,000.
Finally, they are just plain fun as heck. Who doesn’t love the speed of zooming through the streets or in parking lots, performing tricks for your friends and on-looking girls. It just doesn’t get any better than this, folks. You will be not disappointed as you enter the awesome world of super pocket bikes for now and forever.
