Nick, pocket bikes get a bad wrap. Good to see you back BTW.

Brands? I didn't even know more than one maker made these little beasts.

im doing both. its just that the drag strip is 2 hours away, versus 3 blocks to get to a pocket bike corse. and i usually work on drag nites so id only be able to go during vacations, or days off from school or work.
hey that video is just plain stupid, they could have easily goten a 2200 dollar ticket.

Eerm... stay away from the 100 dollar pocket bikes on ebay (known as Cagliaris), they work, but not well... and require some work on the engine and components before they starting them up, specifically the handlebars as they strip quickly meaning you'll probably have to replace them or weld them on. Otherwise you'll take an unwelcome face dive...  Here are a few pics of my orange one, I call it a GS 50F ... 100 bucks Canadian on Ebay (Shipped!)

nice paint job , i was looking at them, hey do you know if the lucky sevens are any better?

[groff22]

Looks like the exact same engine.

I found a review on them here: http://www.pocket-bike-racing.com.au/index.php?page=lucky-7-pocket-bike-review

[nick_villan]

There just like scooters and fat chicks, there a lot of fun to ride, but just don't let anyone you know see you on one.

until the cheap chinese copies came out...dang near killed their sales

the good ones do about 70
the cheapo ones....35-40

the good ones have parts availabity
the cheap ones......

Valentino Rossi got his start in minimoto racing.  Something to think about.
