What's all the buzz about Pocket bikes?

The concept of pocket bikes (a.k.a.. mini bikes, mini motos, mini motorcycles, or pocket rockets) began years ago in Japan, a country known for miniaturizing full-scale products. As crude mockups of the first pocket bikes were developed and ridden, a brand new trend and following developed. As the sport spread into Europe, Italian manufacturer Polini and other Pocket Bike Manufacturers began research and development into producing high quality racing minimoto bikes. Throughout the years, the combination of Japanese innovation and Italian craftsmanship has produced ultra high performance pocket bikes.

Some of today's top motorcycle racers got their start in the sport of pocket bike racing. Champion riders such as Valentino Rossi started in this smaller scale sport and eventually dominated all pocket bike racing events throughout the world. He then moved on to Grand Prix Moto GP racing and is one of today's most respected riders on the pro circuit.

Until recently, quality pocket bikes were largely unavailable to the casual rider. Prices of pocket bikes reached upwards of $4000. These astronomical costs were mainly due to research and development costs to provide optimum frame geometry, motor configurations and dimensions. Today's manufacturers are able to use the information pioneered by these Italian and Japanese companies and develop pocket bikes that are essentially configured the same way including motor setup, frame geometry, braking systems, etc. Because these upfront costs were avoided, prices of these high quality pocket bikes are much less expensive today. Buying cheap pocket bikes on eBay can be can be an affordable option, as can buying some of the entry level bikes from one of the reputable pocketbike dealers featured on this site.
