The electric mini bike

If your youngster gets a glint in his eye at the sound or sight of a Harley or Honda, the electric mini bike offers you a safe way to introduce him (or her) into the fun of pocket bike riding. Pocket bike riding is one of the fastest growing hobbies in the world today with new clubs, new tracks and new riding opportunities constantly coming into play. An electric pocket bike allows your child to develop his interest in pocket rockets but keeps you in full control.

Starting your youngster on an electric pocket bike puts you in control until the time you’re sure your child is “up to speed”. Although some electric mini bikes will reach speeds of 25+MPH, many will also go as slow as 3MPH. Your young pocket bike rider will feel the same thrill as the “big kids” as he sits on his machine with you at his side with hands on the controls. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to teach your youngster the value of safety gear… an important part of pocket bike riding for riders of any age!

Most electric mini bikes are just two feet tall or less. Weight depends on construction with steel frame bikes weighing around 80 pounds and fiberglass as little as 39 pounds. Transporting them is no problem. Most electric pocket bikes will easily fit into the trunk of your car.

The electric mini bike is one of the least expensive pocket bikes on the market with high-end machines still well below $500.00. Less powerful than the 49cc 2-cycle pocket rockets, electric pocket bikes are still wide open fun for the novice rider and give mom or dad the time to teach their pocket rocketeer the “rules of the road” in the safety of the family driveway or back yard. Your electric pocket bike can also be a tool to teach your child the mechanics of mini bikes. The absence of combustible fuels adds to hands-on safety in learning.

Still these inexpensive electric mini bikes are styled with the same appealing features (drag style handlebars, headlights, horns, tear drop tanks, rims, chrome forks and detailing, powder paint jobs, saddles) found on full sized cycles. Decals and other customization accessories are also available from your electric pocket bike dealer.

All in all, an electric pocket rocket can be a great experience for you and your child to share, becoming a hobby that lasts for a lifetime!
