Decent Pocket Crotch rocket?

jsumd · 03-14-2017, 11:44 PM

As the title says are any of the pocket crotch rockets better than others? or are they all pretty much along the same quality as far as china bikes go? I'd like to have one to tinker around with but really know nothing about them.

I can never get a perspective as to how small they are. I am not a tall man by any means, but some of these seem very, very small! There was one on several of the mail-order sites that advertised a 40cc 4 stroke engine that was advertised for a little bit over $300 (advertised on different sites from between $309 to $349 or more--I think maybe even on Wal Mart's mail-order site for around that price) that might be worth getting just for the price to play around with.

OK, did find it on Wal Mart, but has been on others, too.

Sorry, the one from Wal Mart is apparently a 2 stroke version. Here is one at $400 with the 40cc 4 stroke

2 stroke doesn't really bother me. I'll see what I can dig up about both of those. It seems hard to find any kind of concrete information on any of these. Or I'm just not looking in the right place.

This one seemed interesting and cheap.

Yes, that is the one I was writing about. $300 is nice and cheap.

The true pocket bikes are real tiny. You can go on YouTube and look at some Vida. To get a better idea as to size.
I do not fit comfortably on them.
The bigger bikes like the miss. Are no longer made and the ones that are. They are charging more than they are worth.
