Pocket Bikes.
Pocket bike racing, which is also known in some places as Minimoto or Mini GP racing, is a type of racing using smaller versions of full size racing motorbikes, which are known most commonly as pocket bikes. Pocket bikes are raced around tracks designed for karts. It’s a very popular form of racing in Europe and Japan, and is gaining enthusiasts in other parts of the world, especially in North America.
A typical pocket bike is around a fourth the size of a full sized motorbike, and uses an engine which is about 50cc outputting between three and fifteen horse power, depending on the exact model. Pocket bikes have no suspension, instead they rely on the tires absorbing bumps. Most models weigh roughly forty five pounds. The entry-level models generally produce about three to four h.p., but the more expensive racing models can be much more powerful. The very best pocket bikes for racing have a good power-to-weight ratio. Performance enhancements are sometimes added to increase speed and acceleration. Even though they are tiny, both children and adults race pocket bikes at speeds of up to sixty five m.p.h when raced in good conditions.
Because they are small pocket bikes are easy to transport, and they are cheap to buy which increases their appeal for both adults and children. The cheapest pocket bikes from China are as low as $350 for a no frills model, although you could pay as much as as $6000 for a top of the line Italian bike. Children from around six can learn the motorcycle racing and adults are able to feel the excitement of bike racing without the high costs and heavy risks associated with full-sized motorcycle racing.

29 October 2009
RACING prodigy Ryan Folkes is on a fast track towards fulfilling his dream of becoming a professional on the GP circuit.
The mini-moto maestro is celebrating an outstanding track season with a first and second place finish in his two classes.
Bradwell boy Ryan won the Junior B 4.2 and finished second in the Junior Production Low Capacity Road Racing Club Series.
And the 10-year-old’s achievement is all the greater for being the youngest in his division.
Woodlands Primary School pupil Ryan, who has been racing for the last two and a half years, is now aiming to move on to larger-sized GP50 bikes.
He travels as far a-field as Cumbria and Kent to compete in the series and is hoping to find a sponsor to cover some of the costs of competing on the circuit.
Dad Ivan said: “Ryan’s dream is to become a professional motor-cyclist and we want to give him the best possible chance of achieving that.”

Maintenance is an important factor in keeping your bike running smoothly, whether it is a normal bike or a pocket bike. So frequently changing worn out parts with new parts is a way to re-power your pocket bike and to make sure that it continues to operate efficiently.
There are many different parts that constitute a pocket bike, and all the parts are offered under different categories and serial numbers. However, many parts are exchangeable. The vital body parts of a pocket bike are tires, wheels, axles, gas tanks, chains, engines, pistons, carburetors, throttle units, brake parts, and cylinders. High-velocity chrome stack and high-performance air filters are also essential ingredients to boost the power of pocket bikes. Chrome racing pipes, mufflers, and other accessories are available in the market; these accessories all add a custom touch your pocket bike.
Pocket bikes offer both convenience and fun. These bikes can be easily carried in your arms, and they are able to offer fast speeds. Gas-powered engines power up pocket bikes. Disc brakes in the front and rear, racing tires, fairings, light-weight aluminum alloy cast perimeter frames and swing arms, etc., are the features that can be added to a pocket bike. Different parts of a pocket bike have their own functions; for example, the gas tank stores gasoline and the carburetor pumps air in from the environment.
Each of the different pocket bike parts have an essential role to play in the proper functioning of the pocket bike and each part needs to be properly maintained in order to maximize the life and the power of your pocket bike.

ASHER Durham finished runner-up in the national mini-moto championship despite machine troubles in the final round at Lydd, Kent.
The 10-year-old was beaten only by Aaron Maxfield – three years his senior and riding what was effectively a works-prepared machine.
Durham, from the Cavendish, went into the last round of races knowing that he would be unable to overhaul Maxfield in the title standings.
His cause was not helped by the fact that his father, James, had been unable to cure a chronic engine problem which meant it was almost impossible to slow down the machine.
“I thought I had cured the problem but when we got to the track, I found that I hadn’t,” admitted Durham Snr, who added that his son would move up to a gearbox mini-moto next season.
