Save your pennies and buy a better one. You probably paid $100 for someone else's half rooted one, unless you bought a new one foer twice that. Your best bet is to watch over this forum and wait for a good one to come available. You shouldn't need to pay more than $250-$300 to get a top class racing bike (then you'll need to get proper protective gear) Plus you'll have to pay race fee's, maintenance, fuel and many other costs.

Ask yourself. Can you afford to do this?


Of course you can ! Even if you're real young, convince your parents you'll die if you don't do this!!!!!

Australian mini moto needs you.
Sink your cash and die happy!

NEW PEEWEE POCKET ROCKET MINI BIKE 49cc 2 STROKE MOTOR - eBay Road Bikes, Pocket Bikes, Pocket Bikes, Go Karts, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 21-Oct-09 01:15:34 AEDST)
all up including postage it will be $350 is it worth or look for better one ?

for perspective it cost me $300 delivered for a dreambike replica complete roller and i bought a motor for it for $105 and it was an infinitely better bike then a cag for basically the same money.

$350 for a cag is taking the piss. dont pay anymore then $150 new for one or your throwing your money away

sorry bout that dont awser back to that i just read that i hav to hav 15 posts on here b4 i buy or sell so yea sorry

Hi Yallow-rocket, you don't have to have 15 posts to buy from people on here.

You only have to have 15 posts to sell (its to try and help people buy from someone we know that is trustworthy/able to be contacted)

So if you see anything you want in the classifieds section, feel free to contact the seller or ask questions.
Although you are nearly at 15 posts anyway.

Also most people on here are very knowledgeable and willing to help, so if you need to know something and cant find it by the search function, ask away.

I hope you enjoy your time on here and the sport.

Cheers Ronin

cool thanks mate i got one question my pocket rocket has spark fuel going to it and it ownt start some times it might for about 3 seconds then just cut out the spark on it is a good bright spark and has new spark plug and coil

This could be a number of things. But first, do you use the choke, and if you do, do you turn it off. (not trying to be funny but I have know new people with these bike that have been unaware that they have a choke.)

Does it always do this (not able to start) or have you had it running for a while. If you have how did the motor run, OK/ or was it reveing up and down without touching the throttle? or doing something else?

Without it being in front of me it would be hard to tell...could have air leak, reads not sealing,air bubble in fuel line etc. carby mite be gummed up. If you have left the bike sitting for a while with the fuel in the tank, the oil can gum up the carby. You probably should take the carby of and strip it and clean it in petrol. (even if you are getting petrol when you take plug out and spin motor)

I would try cleaning the carby first. If that doesnt fix it, ask again. The are some excellent motor builders on here and they will see this post and will help you better than most.

Good luck with it.

iv had it going and it ran fine than ik ran over glass and poped my tyer so i just had sitting in my room and in shed for about 3/4 of month but i was starting it than i took earth lead off than put back on and now it stuffed up its still got spark ill go clean carby now thanks
