I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!

If you need any info about upgrading you pocket rocket go here
If you need to talk about or have questions about you pocket rocket go here
If you need a place to buy upgrades go here


http://www.pocketbikesunlimited.com

That is the only place you will need to go for questions about anything with your pocket bike,

there is even a thread about tuning you pocket bike when you get it, FOR FREE

BTW you can go on there forum and post stuff, but your name will be guest along with a bunch of other people named guest
uness you register,

There, now you can leave all of the ones with reall bikes alone.

Advise her not to wheelie it, one time it comes up too fast and you loop and bruise / break bones.

Sportbikes have a lot of room for error since the wheelbase is so long, but a pocket bike will flip before you even know the wheel came off the ground.

Esp a newbie rider too. She'll attempt to bring up the front, lean back, panic, twist the throttle back even more and plant her *** on the ground. Trust me.

MY HORROR STORY ABOUT THESE BIKES

HELMETS should be worn for sure on mini bikes... i had a 49 cc mini bike that i got from ebay... it went pretty fast, easy 30-35 mph.

anyway let me get to my point here. i was cruising on my bike (no helmet, just shorts t-shirt and shoes) i popped a wheelie and the front tire came completely OFF! i came down and crashed. i dont remember exactly what happened all i remember is riding then getting up off the road. i concluded what happened from the bike in pieces.

here is a list of what happened to me
1. i knocked out my 3 front teeth
2. fractured the part of my skull that hold my teeth in place
3. i lost most movement to my middle finger due to the fact of tearin the **** out of my tendent
4. stitches in 4 knuckles equaling to be 12 total
5. road rash all over my forearms, hands, face, and small amounts on my hip and leg.

and i walked away mad, but i know it could have been a lot worse.. now my brother is selling his


here is a pic from what fun we did have on them

I dont want to be an ******* or anything to bash this thread but If anyone is interested in purchasing a new pocket bike (cat-eye style with headlights & 49cc motor) feel free to pm me. I have 7 bikes left and im taking offers, red, blue, silver and black.





Yes helmets are definitely a must on these things....as for you situation of crashing with the front wheel coming off...that just plain sucks a big fat one. I would like to tell everyone that it is A NESSECITY THAT YOU TIGHTEN ALL OF YOUR NUTS & BOLTS PRIOR TO RIDING!!!

There are many different manufactures in China that make the same bike.....NOT ALL BIKES ARE CREATED EQUAL! Most factories just throw these bikes together as fast as they can....and have to meet a quota. Thus this results in many different levels of manufacturing quality.

To let everyone know I personally Imported my bikes from china so I new what I was getting. I would encourage buyers to research as much as possible before purchasing a bike, especially of of ebay.

If anyone has any questions regarding this fad of a "sport". Feel free to pm me.

Pocketbikeparts.com

Not the cheapest, but that's what Google pulled up first.
