Pocketbikes, anyone own one?

They used to be a big deal here in the states about 15 yrs ago. Haven't heard much lately tho.
Yeah i reckon bike 10-15 years old!:noidea: could be costly to rebuild top to bottom and almost nothing avail on eb etc for them so might just make it run properly (wont idle) and give it a little shine and a of cables to get made up!
Looks awesome! More pics

That sure is a tiny countershaft sprocket on that thing. I don't think I've ever seen one that small.
The newspaper under the bike says something about a new Brough. A Brough Superior? Are those being made again?
 
My boys played with them long ago. I still have three Bladz Scooters. one with a 49CC and hauled ass last time it was out. Back of the shed now.. I think there is a pocket bike back there too unless it was given to neighbor for sacrifice of demons.

Ok Red.....but remember when you go countin' all them teeth, remember you may have to take yer socks off.


Hey boys....they're racing for pinks!.....of course I also have to wonder, does a gopro have enough recording time to get the entire 1/4 mile race on those speed demon scooters?

They're pretty fast. Pushing 70mph with custom pipes and port work. My buddies used to race them here on the east coast back when ccs was a joke and the AMA thought they were all that. Now it's ccs that keeps the Daytona 200 goin.
 
I missed it all back in the day, too busy working and partying in my 20's when i only had one kid!
I had a go on a couple of Chinese shitters but not a real pocket bike!
Got to think its gonna be a blast, 50+ mph on that size bike :)
Biggest problem here is finding somewhere to use it legally!:thumbsdown:
