Pocket bikes – a major craze among children

Pocket bikes are miniscule version of motorbikes and have become a craze among children of all ages. Pocket bikes are smaller in size and lighter in weight but big enough for kids to ride. You can find models suitable for children as young as four to five years of age. They cost less, just over $500 and can accelerate within seconds to speeds of 50 kmph and above.

Pocket bikes do not come under traffic rules and regulations. They are without registration number and need no compliance with safety specifications of a motorcycle. The riders of pocket bikes are exempt from license and wearing protective gear, because pocket bikes are supposed to run in by lanes and off road. However it can lead to accidents if the rider lacks necessary skills for precise throttle control.

Pocket bikes are equipped with 40 cc to 110 cc capacity engines. They make lot of noise and can cause disturbance to neighbours and surrounding locals.

There are many types of pocket bikes to pick from. These include: Mini pocket bikes, electric pocket bikes and gas pocket bikes.

Mini pocket bikes are most inexpensive type and excellent for children. They are low speed to ensure safety of children in driving around. They are designed for sheer fun and outfitted with racing tires, disk brakes, alloy frame and twist grip acceleration.

Electric pocket bikes were first designed in Japan for racing. Their popularity in racing took them to other parts of the world. These pocket bikes use electric engine and are designed with several safety features to make them safe for children.

Gas pocket bikes are strictly meant for racing and are without safety features, hence recommended only for adults and not for children. They run on gas powered engine at speeds in the range of 70 to 120 kmph. Gas pocket bikes are without brake lights and signal lights.
