I have plenty of toys (guns) to buy before wasting my money on something that looks very uncomfortable.

Hell no.

Those things are driving me crazy.

The kids around here run them up and down my street.

The noise drives me nuts!

To tell ya the truth I feel like I missed something wonderful
When I was a kid we had sears and roebuck minibikes that has a 3 horse briggs & stratton flathead engine.
I uh later "found" a 5 horse.................................
any way
the brake was a paddle that ya pushed against the tire.
cintrifical clutch
pull string start
No suspension not much seat
slick tires.

compared to the Pocket bikes of today
we where riding Fred Flintstone stuff
There isnt anything in the current pocket bikes that was not avalible back then
they just decided to make them now thats all.

I've seen some that look like they would be a lot of fun in a couple years for my son. For some reason Autozone seems to have started selling them (Chinese made) in their auto parts stores. Price wise they make a lot more sense then a decent horse. Personally I don't see much joy for a 200+ pound man in riding a 30CC to 50CC motorcycle.

Thumbs down Expensive toy

:assult: :assult: :assult: :assult: :assult:

For a small kid, it would be OK, but for a bigger kid or adult, it sucks.

I have my fullsize bike and I wouldn't even try one of those minis, maybe for trip around the block or something but that would be it.

Those bikes shouldn't be allowed in the streets, to much of a hazzard to the other motorists not to mention the operator.

I guess that in a controlled enviroment, with a kid the right size, it would be OK.

Those bikes should be treated as a very expensive toy, or a training tool for small children.

I know If I sat on one and tried to ride it I would have to have it surgically removed later.
But Hey I was 10 years old once.
With a rig like those pocket bikes I could have really hurt my self!
Maybe put my eye out!
