By
now, almost everyone has seen a pocket
bike. Some people may think it's a toy, and some
people may see it as a real motorcycle, only smaller. The truth
is, pocket bikes and super
pocket bikes are really machines of a sport that
has been sweeping Europe and Japan for over 5 years now.
Americans got their first glimpse of pocket bikes
just a few years ago. They were brought here from Italy and cost
upwards of $4000 a pocket bike. That is what
really kept the sport from growing here in the U.S. While many
found these pocket bikes cool and interesting,
not many people were willing to buy a mini motorcycle for almost
the price of a real motorcycle.
Why do pocket
bikes cost so much back then? There is one simple
answer; It takes a lot of invested capital to design a pocket
bike. The Italian and Japanese spent thousands of man
and computer hours designing and redesigning the motors, frames,
wheels, geometry and all other aspects of these bikes.
Then there is a testing phase, where they would take a pocket
bike out to the test track and ride them for hundreds
of hours until the bike worked flawlessly. That
drives up their costs significantly and thus is passed on to the
consumer.
Fortunately for us today, there are several manufacturers that
have taken the principals pioneered and tested by these original
manufacturers and applied them to the pocket bikes
and super pocket bikes you see today. Costs have
been cut, and more technologically advanced manufacturing plants
have further driven down costs. However, some manufacturers also
cut the quality of the parts and motor that goes into a pocket
bike.

So what is the difference between a pocket bike
& a super pocket bike? A pocket bike
is smaller in size and lighter in weight. If you have ever dreamed
of competing in a motorcycle race or event, the smaller pocket
bike is the way to go. It accelerates very fast, reaches
the redline in a matter of a few seconds and have a very flat
torque curves. This is ideal for racing. These smaller pocket
bikes also have less bells-and-whistles for the sake
of weight reduction. Weight, in any vehicle, is the enemy. Take
for example, our lightest pocket bike, the Cagllari
Daytona model. It is not only the lowest priced pocket
bike we carry, it also happens to be among the fastest
of its group. Weighing in at under 40 pounds and tackling a 40
mph top speed, this little pocket bike not only
rips in a straight line, it also handles as if the rider was directly
joined to the bike. The mini pocket bikes are
not only great for racing, it is also an inexpensive and realistic
way for newcomers to get introduced to motorcycle riding.
Those who crave for more style but still like the purest approach
to this sport may opt for one of our many other pocket
bikes. Features range from treaded tires, full fairings
(body panels) to suspension systems. There are many models of
pocket bikes to choose from, and only MiniPocketRockets
will deliver the best motor, frame structure and design for your
enjoyment.
Super
pocket bikes are the new trend. The demand for larger
and more optioned-out motorcycles came after we made pocket
bikes affordable to the general public. These bikes
are larger, more comfortable and have many more features for the
rider. These are more street bikes than they
are track bikes. However, because of their larger displacement
engines and 4 speed transmissions, super pocket bikes
are faster in a straight line than the smaller high-revving pocket
bikes.
Most of these super
pocket bikes come fully equipped with headlights,
tail lights, full suspension systems and even a horn and electric
starters. Super pocket bikes, though heavier,
handle very well. They are even more tossable than their larger
super bike siblings from manufacturers
such as Kawasaki and Suzuki.
Many adults purchase pocket bikes for their children.
Depending on the age and size of your child, a super pocket
bike may be the way to go. Because of the super
pocket bike's larger size, kids may be able to understand
a bike's physics a bit better than a smaller
one. And many of them have hydraulic brakes and working switches,
horn and lights which also lends to the quick adaptation to full
size motorcycles. Super pocket bikes
are definitely more challenging to ride than smaller bikes.
But by no means are they difficult to ride. As with everything,
there is a learning curve. As long as the rider knows how to ride
a bicycle, there should not be a problem riding any super
pocket bike or its smaller version.
For starters, the X7 Bullet Super
Pocket Bike is a good place to begin. It is relatively
inexpensive, yet offers almost all of the features in the more
expensive 4-stroke versions of the super bikes.
Though it may not be quite as fast as the top-of-the-line super
pocket bikes, it is fast enough for spirited riding
in almost all situations. With its electric start, headlights,
horn and a myriad of other features, even some experienced riders
prefer riding this super sized pocket bike
and find it more than sufficient for their needs. Take some time
