THE SPORT OF POCKET BIKES
Please read the SAFETY section of our site before you race or ride these pocket bikes

The concept of the pocket bike began years ago in Japan, a country known for miniaturizing full-scale products. As crude mockups of the first pocket bikes were developed and ridden, a brand new trend and following developed. As the sport spread into Europe, Italian manufacturers began research and development into producing high quality racing minimoto bikes. Throughout the years, the combination of Japanese innovation and Italian craftsmanship produced ultra high performance pocket bikes.

Some of today's top motorcycle racers got their start in the sport of pocket bike racing. Champion riders such as Valentino Rossi started in this smaller scale sport and eventually dominated all pocket bike racing events throughout the world. He then moved on to Grand Prix Moto GP racing and is one of today's winningest riders on the pro circuit. He has broken the record finishing in 23 consecutive podiums and is the only rider in the world who has won back-to-back races riding for two different manufacturers. Companies such as Ducati, Yamaha and Honda are always striving to have this former pocket bike champion ride for their company in Full-Sized Grand Prix Moto GP races.

Until recently, quality pocket bikes were largely unavailable to the casual rider. Prices of pocket bikes reached upwards of $4000. These astronomical costs were mainly due to research and development costs to provide optimum frame geometry, motor configurations and dimensions. Today’s manufacturers are able to use the information pioneered by these Italian and Japanese companies and develop pocket bikes that are essentially configured the same way including motor setup, frame geometry, braking systems, etc. Because these upfront costs were avoided, prices of these high quality pocket bikes have come down over the years.
