Pocketbikes and pocket bike parts & accessories online - one stop shopping for your mini racing needs

Pocketbikes and pocketbike parts are all you will find here at 101-pocket-bikes.com. If you're looking to buy a pocket bike (also known as a mini moto), or are already a pocket bike or minimoto enthusiast looking for parts and accessories for your own mini pocket bikes, you've come to the right place.

Pocketbikes are small scale replicas of GP (Grand Prix) racing motorcycles. Have a look at the pocket bike at the top of the page -- the seat is around under one and a half feet off the ground! Invented in Japan, and put into serious production by Italian manufacturers, pocket bikes are now made in several countries including the Czech republic, China, the UK and America.

Pocketbike features

Here's what to expect in a pocketbike:-

• Pocketbike sizing: mini and midi (10% bigger)
• 27"-30" wheelbase, seat 15"-18" off the ground
• Weight around 50 lbs
• One gear only, with centrifugal clutch - just twist the throttle and go!
• Cable operated disc brakes
• No suspension - the pocket bike frame does the flexing
• 2-stroke petrol engine
• Air or water cooled

For kids, teenagers and adults alike, there's nothing like whizzing along at 30mph+ at a height of just fifteen inches above the ground for letting go of everyday worries in favour of having a blast on one of these little monsters! This is fast becoming a very popular hobby worldwide. And, with the right pocketbike accessories and appropriately supervised, it's as safe as any other.

Despite their tiny size, you will fit on a pocketbike - they can take people up to 6'4" in height and 240+ lbs in weight. 'Mini' and 'midi' sizes are available, leading to phrases you'll see like mini pocketbikes, midi pocketbikes, minimotos, and midimotos. If you are of a larger build or perhaps have trouble with the level of flexibility the mini size requires, then be aware that some people find the 'midi' size more comfortable.
