Pocket Bike
Pocket bike,aosl called mini bike. A minibike is a small motorcycle, usually for offroad use. The latest craze is adult racing on minibikes. These inexpensive minibikes originally designed for small children are often transformed for adult use by adding taller handle bars and by improving the suspension. Sometimes called Pitbike Racing, it is a less expensive form of entertainment than motocross. People who can not afford the time, expense and danger of full size motocross racing are drawn to minibikes as a fun way to experience the thrill of motorcycle on dirt.
POCKET BIKE SAFETY:
Even with an adult rider minibikes can attain speeds of over 40mph where serious injury can occur from missuse. Hence riders should wear adequate safety equipment at all times! A baseball cap and tracksuit bottoms may look good but they will not save you from serious injury. Minibike riders should be equipped as the rider in the picture who is wearing adequate head and knee protection, as well as a jock for groin protection, and a pair of sturdy jeans to prevent chaffing.
Pocket bikes are exciting and a whole lot of fun when ridden safely, but they’re also motorized high speed racing vehicles. Due to their high speed and design, the rider must take extra care when operating a pocket bike. Without the proper precautions this activity can be dangerous and serious injury or death is possible. Here are some basic safety tips to follow at all times when riding pocket bikes.
Use Common Sense: Never hitch a ride from a car/bus/truck/bicycle/etc, never ride with more than one person on a pocket bike, never walk your dog while riding, never stunt ride or take unnecessary risks. Be smart, be safe.
