Electric Pocket Bikes - Cheaper Than Motorcycles

By Scott Maxwell


If you've ever ridden on a motorcycle, you can understand how great the experience can be. A motorcycle is a vehicle, however, which requires a great deal of time, skill, and effort to take care of. If you or a young person wants a taste of what a motorcycle could provide without the high risk, electric pocket bikes may provide the best opportunity.

A pocket bike is a scaled down version of a larger motorcycle. It offers a sleek, stylish design and if you are riding a pocket bike, you will still have all of the fun of a traditional motorcycle without the danger. These bikes can traditionally ride up to 15 miles per hour, allowing you to scoot around town without risking high speeds or getting into too much trouble.

Adults can enjoy pocket bikes just as well as children can. Many of these bikes can accommodate riders up to 170 pounds. While the shape of the bike may not be convenient for anyone who is over 6 feet tall, one will still be able to maneuver the bike rather easily. This allows one bike to have a lot of use.

Of course, the best part about these bikes are that they run completely on electric power. Traditionally, 12 volt batteries are attached to the bike which can be recharged. Up to 30 minutes of continuous use is possible with these batteries, which can recharge in about 4 hours. This means these bikes will run without the cost and the hassle that gasoline would require.

As the unit runs on electric energy, the typical noise output that comes from gasoline engines will disappear. One can ride one of their electric pocket bikes around without having to worry about distracting the neighbors. It is a superb choice for those looking to have fun in a clean, cheap, and safe way.
