Pocket Bikes - Racing Pocket Motor Scooters
Pocket Bikes
are really not "minibikes" in
the traditional sense - they are miniature GP Racing motorcycles. Machines
accurate in detail, proportion, and craftsmanship to any world-class GP
bike. Disc brakes front and rear, racing tires, fairings, beautiful
lightweight aluminum alloy cast perimeter frame and swing arm - these things
are works of motor-art...the kind of thing that would look right at home
sitting in a corporate VP's office, among objects of art and high technology
as a trophy.
Although they would also look fine on your mantle as an impressive
centerpiece, the Pocket Bikes shine best in competition.
Depending on the
model and HP, performance varies: The smaller industrial-motored models used
by Junior class racers are capable of speeds of over 35 mph, the average 4.2
hp and 6.2 hp racing models achieve about 40-45 mph, and open class machines
can clock over 50 mph!
Pocket bikes can be used for both recreation and competition. While
many pocket bike owners race their pocket bikes at competitions and
go-kart tracks, others simply enjoy riding their pocket bikes for fun
in an open area.
There are many options for legally racing your pocket
bike with friends and even in competitions. A racing sanctioning body
has been established to promote racing in North America called NAPRA,
the North American Pocket Bike Racing Association.
Go-kart tracks
offer a road racecourse that is perfectly scaled to pocket bikes. You
can give your local go-kart track a call or get in touch with NAPRA
itself to see if any tracks or leagues are offering racing in your
area. Major kart tracks across the country have adopted pocket bike
racing, and there are sure to be more as the national interest in
pocket grows with every passing day.
