Pocket Rockets
These little mini bikes, commonly called pocket rockets, are an inexpensive and fun way to get into sportbike riding. With entry level pricing as low as $189 for a small 49cc pocket rocket, you can get going on the cheap. These usually make 3-4 horsepower and go 20-30 mph, more than fast enough for anybody on a 24" motorcycle. Pocket Bikes
Another name for pocket rockets, pocket bikes are those miniature versions of crotch rockets. There are a few different versions of pocket bikes - the standard mini sizes that are about 1/4 scale and the larger super pocket bikes that are 1/2 scale and can reach speeds of up to 70mph. That's an absolutely scary spead for such a small machine, but it's an exhilarating ride! Would You Buy Your Child A Pocket Bike?

I would let my child ride one (when she's older) as long as she was in a safe neighborhood and I watched her the whole time. Also of course wearing the right gear. Just get the kinds that are smaller and don't go as fast.

Both of my children, ages 5 and 8, ride pocket bikes. They drive them no different than they rode their bicycles. Of course, I watch them closely and they wear helmet and knee pads.
