Pocket Bikes - Page 2

you do know that pocket bikes can't be ridden anywhere except private property, you can't ride them on the sidewalk or sidestreets, so I guess you have to wait till the malls close so you can have some real fun.

Vsanj dont even waste your money man. My friend just got a $6000 ticket for riding one on the street (his court/street) with no insurance, the bill has to be payed by next month

I got pulled over on my pocket bike last year summer at jane and wilson on the sidewalk. The cop asked if i had a bike license and i said nope. He said give me ur drivers license. I gave him everything and he told me i need insurance,plates,and ohhh yeah a helmet. I told him its my first time but the jerk went and gave me 3 tickets one of them being $5000 for having no insurance. Its serious stuff if u get caught in public with that thing. I went to court and he didnt even bother showing up. So it got thrown out. Never again in public.

Pointless. You're better off catching herpes, at least it was fun for a while.

At the motoplex in grand bend i'd see guys cruizin around in the pits with them, kinda cool since you can just throw it in your trunk after. I wouldn't mind taking one camping. If I were you I'd buy a used one, at least in my neighborhood there's dozens just sittin in peoples garages since like everyone said its one of those novelty toys you play with like 5-6 times and then let it collect dust.

hahaha thatd be pretty funny if it got crushed. The charges were like Blasted M3 said. No helmet, no insurance and no plates. I live in whitby so the cop is most likely going to show up since he has nothing better to do hahaha

And than about 2 months later i was on my dirt bike and the cops tried to pull me over again. I was in the jane and wilson area and i said **** this it aint happening again and so i bolted thru the red light and took off. The cop got stuck in traffic and i was gooooone.

I would say forget the mini bikes! Buy a real bike!!! You can have way more fun with that!

I had a cheap "49cc" chinese knockoff, got rid of it after about 2 months, then bought an R6 about 6 months later lol

I was looking to buy a pocket bike off a friend, the bike has turn signals, brake lights, and head lights. He says that the bike needs a plate and insurance to be used on the road. Is that true? and where could i get it insured?

v_bimmer · 04-09-2008, 11:46 PM

i am looking for a used pocketbike right now, with the gas prises it would be nice to cruise to a local timmies on a pocket bike!!

i have ideas of putting a small turbo on it, i already tested the turbo on my lawnmover

slemmer · 04-09-2008, 11:50 PM
