Default Pocket Bikes. Pro's and Con's

Wondering what everybody feels about the new craze of pocket bikes. (Mini-Harleys, Mini-Ninja Racers, Gas & Electric Scooters)

My company has just started importing them and all the feedback I could get would help!

Unless they are made by polini, blata, or grc... they suck donkey *****!!!!

China made pocketbikes are slow and junky. I swear... you can get these pieces of crap anywhere. I've seen people sell them out of nail shops. WTF????

They're pretty safe as long as you still take the same precautions. I bet the guy that died wasnt wearing a helmet or leathers.
Pro: They're fun and fast. You really get into the competitive racing with other people.
Cons: Maintainence, high cost for the quality bikes, easily stolen. They can mess up your leathers haha.

If you want to buy one buy a quality one and not all those cheap ones out there. Make sure its not a no name brand with no reputation.

I think its a little late to get into the pocketbike selling thing unless youre planning on selling the full fairing "47cc" ones for under $300
