Hey guys n gals. My name is Evan and i've just bought a pocket bike off ebay. It's a cheap and pretty basic bike but i'm hoping it will be heaps of fun! One day i'd like to race ither pocket bikes or full size but the reality of that will probably hit me later :p
Hey thanks man I can't wait to get it. I'm just wondering, are most pocket bikes only single geared or do the better more expensive ones have gears? The one i've bought is only 49cc and will only go about 60km... Is there much of a pocket bike scene in canberra? I've never heard anything...
No Probz man, The Real Pocket-Bikes have one gear! The one you've got sounds like a cag! I wouldnt hav a clue about whatz happening in Canberra.But someones bound to know on this Forum!
All pocket bikes run a centrifugal clutch, suppose that could sound complicated for a beginner so consider it an automatic single-gear bike. Haven't heard much from Canberra at all unfortunatly, as Tz said someone will know. Good luck with your new bike, they require a lot of maintenance and small modifications to get them running smooth and reliable so I hope you've got the commitment
Edit: Turns out there was once a club in ACT but it seems to have shut down. Here's the link to the ACT rider's page anyway. You can read all about your local riders and such there.
Hey guys, thanks heaps for all the friendly advice! I'm hoping to get into the scene so hopefully there is at least something small happening in canberra! Ok, time to fill in the noob, what is a cag? The bike i've bought is a 2007 model Diablo "Pocket bike".... Not sure what it is! All i know is that it's small and green and will hopefully be lots of fun!
a cag is considered cagllari or chinese pocket bike most common aircooled reed valve 2 srtoke but some water cooled bikes from china are also considered a CAG
Thanks mac90! Thats explained heaps to me now i sorta understand What is needed to race minibikes? I've been watching vids and it looks like heaps of fun!!!
Hey Evan, to race you need either a 2peice leather suit or a heavy duity meterial suit, eg joe rocket 2 peice suit, or a 1 peice leather suit, there is racing at wollonong starting in february. check out NSW Minimoto Club Inc :: Index for all the details you need
