Pocket bikes may be something new for most people, but they have actually been around for some time. As early as the 1950's, there has been some form of miniature motorized bikes. Pocket bikes took a turn as they became extremely popular in Japan, and were quickly picked up by the European market. The Italians and the Dutch have since brought the sport of "Minimoto" racing to the forefront, increasing it's popularity, their safety and durability. This surge of interest has finally made its way into North America, and demand for these little road racers is beginning to make it's mark. Although the North American scene has not embraced the same passion for organized racing as their European counterparts, they have sparked a general interest for the weekend warriors.
These bikes come in a range of different styles, sizes and performance capabilities that cater to young and old, experienced and novice riders everywhere.
