Mini Bikes For Kids Are A Growing Sport
When we used to talk about mini bikes for kids, we were talking about a small scale frame with a lawn mower type engine on it. They typically ran at the 3. 5 hp range and sported motors that you saw on the family lawn mower. The mini bikes were very basic and usually had no gears, just a centrifugal clutch to get the little machine rolling.
When we speak of mini bikes today, we conjure up a whole new picture. The mini bikes of today come in many styles and varieties and are powered either with a gas or an electric motor. In this article, we are going to examine the many different types of mini bikes that are available today.
We will start with the Super street bikes. These are a scaled down imitation of what we call the Japanese “crotch rockets” we see breaking the speed limit every day, if not wheeling by us in traffic. These can also be turned into “Super Pocket Rockets” that we will talk about later.
There are Chopper mini bikes that are (you guessed it) just scaled down models of the custom street cruiser bikes we see on the road every day. These are the fastest growing facet of the mini bike industry today. You can customize these bikes in many different ways, just like the full size bikes.
When we talk about mini dirt bikes, we are probably talking the closest to the old fashioned mini bike. There are versions of the old style mini bike, but with better qualities. Most of the mini dirt bikes are just scaled down versions of the dirt bikes we see at the motocross races. These mini bikes are designed to be ridden primarily in the dirt on rough terrain.
The competitive kids might want to go for a Super Pocket Rocket. These are fast! These bikes are again, fashioned after the Japanese “crotch rocket” and some will go just as fast, do not let the size fool you. These are considered to be the most dangerous of the mini bikes.
The electric motor is also used on some of these mini bikes for kids. You will find these to be much slower, quieter, and safer for the smaller kids.
You should always think safety first when you put your child on one of these. Your child should always wear a helmet and any other safety gear that will keep your kid safe.
