Pocket Bikes - A Story of Experimentation to Sensation
One-fourth the size of original racing bikes but having other features as exact replica of normal racing bikes...
that is how we can describe a Pocket bike.
These types of bikes are 50 cms in height and about 1 meter in length.
They weigh about 50 lbs.
They can be packed with either two-stroke or four-stroke engines.
The two-stroke engines are of 39 to 50 cc while the four-stroke ones are of 110 to 125 cc.
The two-stroke engines provide a maximum speed of 25 to 35 mph while the four- stroke engines pull it up to around 60 to 80 mph.
Although, they look like toy bikes, they are actually very much for adult usage.
The minibike racing, also known as Minimoto racing or Mini GP racing is now one of the most popular sports of the world.
Pocket bikes are used in these races where they are driven around in kart racing tracks.
These races can be arranged for both children and adult participation.
Children mostly use this as a tool to learn the basics of racing.
Adults use them to derive the pleasures of bike racing minus the risks and high costs of proper bike racing.
These races have now gained such supreme acclaim that the pros in this field are making quite a lot of money out of winning the races.
These can be a boost for new racers as well.
So, what started out as an experimental construction by a group of bike enthusiasts with spare parts of bikes went on to become one of the largest biking sensation of recent times.
Famous companies like Arctic-Cat, Rupp, Taco, Heath, Gilson, and Fox are now investing in modeling and remodeling Pocket bikes.
The cottage industries have also received a boost with many of them specializing in Pocket bike construction and customization.
