i agree with mx rider105.50's r so much more fun cause you can go off-road and jump them.but with a pocket rocket you just have to stay on he road.

yer pocket rockets r cool but min choppers r better.

20th September 2004, 07:38 PM
Well firstly theres no such thing as a 47cc or 49cc pocket bike engine, so any pocket bike that runs a 47cc or a 49cc is just a rip off scooter motor, so there the normal cheap ones, the average pocket bike goes 50km/h, theres ones now that go 80km/h standard, and are water cooled with full suspenion, there sikk as.
Ohh yeah and theres a few pocket bike sites that are Australian based, and will be some Australian based pocket bike forums very soon from what i've heard.
sik_50
21st September 2004, 09:21 PM
umm yes there is pocket rockets that have 47cc and 49cc engines.i've rode them mysself.they might be a rip off scooter engine but there still under a pocket rocket arnt they.

24th September 2004, 03:05 PM
i heard that if u where a normal push bike helmet while riding certain size pocket rockets the coppas can't do anyting, they classify it as riding a normal bicycle
thats in Western Australia can anyone verify that for me

ok, there was recently two articles in the paper over here in QLD. One of them said that apparently it was fine if you wore a certified motorcycle helmet, and didnt ride it on highways. (as in stick to the 2 lane roads.) and if u dont impede traffic (as in keep left)
Where as another article i have with me right now, says that they fall in between a motorised scooters/bikes (which can be ridden on single lane roads and footpaths) and mopeds(which are a registered vehicle. It has in a quote from a police sargeant saying that "they cant be driven on the road because they are statutorily exempt under the law".. (they cant be registered) And he also said that anyone caught riding one on a road could cop a series of fines more that $700 in total. So i would try to stick to the quiet roads, wear a proper road helmet, or if possible ride on the foot path (thats if its 50cc or under by the way) and they probly wont be able to do anything...
Hope I helped...

24th September 2004, 03:19 PM
go to like the news sites and search for articles on mini bikes and stuff. Or go to the government sites and search for like scooter/moped laws etc.
freekstyle
24th September 2004, 03:20 PM
yeah cheers u did help
but i might go check with the local coppas coz the rulz might be a little different over here
deev8
24th September 2004, 03:24 PM
haha, yeah, or u could do that. probably the easiest way. Do you know anyone thats a copper? cos usually if some kid walks in and starts askin about them they tell u not to, to try and keep kids on mini 2 stroke racers of the roads. Actually, my best mates dad is a cop. I might ask him one day and find out for good wat the rules are over here in QLD...

24th September 2004, 04:56 PM
well i would look out if i was you. I sure did cop a $520 fine not too long ago. They can book you on more that 3 seperate offences. Unregistered Vehicle. Uninsured Vehicle (CTP). and Unliscencd driver. Also they may feel like booking you on any thing else they catch you doing, eg speeding or watever.
Watever you do dont RUN... my stupid ass mate ran from them on his bike and he lost his licsence for 2 years...

Hey Guys, I've already called Queensland Transport on this matter some weeks ago, and they can only be ridden on roads without lines and median Strip, meaning only neighbourhood roads, not streets with lines on them. Also a helmet is needed and must be over 16 years old with Brake light, reflector and Headlight, and Horn.

Alls you have to do is check out any of the proper american or European pocket bike sites, 39cc are the proper pocket bike engines, and the good ones are water cooled.
There is Australian pocket bike forums starting up in conjuction with pocket racing imports at
