They have 50cc stamped on the block but there are two types, one is a true 50 while the other is a 90cc - both have 50cc stamped on block.
They don't need warrants or bike lic to ride which is stupid
[edit] just checked, some of the pocket bikes are 100cc

We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.
They don't need a WOF but they do need to be up to Warrant of Fitness standard. That means they must have headlight, tail light, brake light, indicators etc. The registration plate must be correctly affixed to the rear and you need at least a learner's car licence to ride it (and the accompanying L plate if on learner licence).Originally Posted by Busy
I've seen one guy mown down by a car while riding one of these pocket bikes at night (idiot) - surprised he didn't get killed but he went flying quite a way.
