I don't know about that, not at our local big track. We have a cart track here that allows to ride for $20. Lots of guys run motards, mini-motards and pocket bikes there.

on the lower left of the page you lposted there's a link titled "Pocket Bike sizes" . When you click on it they show them on a track , one with a kid racing , another with adults ... errmmm , so in response to your question : maybe ? somewhere ?  :icon_mrgreen:

They look fun as hell though ... the price looks good too , but i wonder what shipping would be  :o

Yeah, my guess would be that one of those would be best on a cart track that allows 2 wheeled racing

Those bikes are about the right size for me, I bet I could flatfoot em! And wrecking sure would be a lot cheaper!

I remember thinking before riding my first pocket bike "I bet I can get a knee down easy on that"...boy was I wrong.  It's harder to drag a knee on those things than it is a real bike haha...sure is fun after you figure out how to do it.

30 minutes on a good polini in full gear and I look like a damn pro when I go get back on the street bike...


btw I mean the knee thing as in while trying to execute a stable, fast curve...in all honesty, if you have the ass for it, you could probably clench up a bit and roll forward to get both knees downa and just pick the whole bike up haha.

Oh and I remember some pics of these little kids screraming around a gokart track on the knock-off pb's...like 5 and 6 year olds...one of them was tucked down behind the winidscreen hahaha it was so funny.  Those kids are going to be badasses when they grow into real bikes.
