    Scooter is gear driven i.e. no chain, has small wheels 8-12 inches and is step through.

    Appreciate the posts guys and I'm learning. In fact these mini bikes look like a heap of fun. Except they must be a bit hard for an adult to sit on surely.

    Cool

    Mini-moto's (pocketbikes) have no suspension...
    so yep they would get a tad hard on the butt after a while...


    Chat to Whitetrash, kwakakid and Aff-man as they have mini-moto bikes.

    Whitetrash also has a pitbike as well.

    These guys have posted up pics of them on these bikes racing the mini-motos around Mt Wellington go-kart race track.

    Mini-choppers are crap bikes and are not worth the money they cost.
    They fall apart and not road legal at all.

    Chat to WINJA or Qckchk (sp) about Street Magic's as they both own one.

    One would think so but I find this is not the case...It goes more towards the knee's cramping I find. But that's only after quite a long time.

    Mini-Moto and Pocket Bike used to be two different things. Now they are the same - since the introduction of the mini-bike (such as the Honda NSF100). Basically, mini-motos are the next size down from mini-bikes
