Some people think that mini pocket rocket bikes are for kids because they are so small, but in fact they are made for both kids and adults up to 300 pounds. Kids do look quite a bit more natural riding a mini pocket rocket bike because, just like a child is a scaled down adult, a mini pocket rocket bike is a scaled down motorcycle.
In order for an adult to comfortably ride a mini pocket rocket bike he or she needs to be somewhat bendable. Okay, Gumby jokes aside, you do need to be able to crouch and comfortably manipulate your legs so that your muscles aren’t stretched to the point of being painful. Mini pocket rocket bikes are only about two feet tall. You will need to sit on it at this height and then lift your feet to the foot pedals. Your knees might not quite know where to go.
If you are riding in normal conditions, such as on a dirt track or on a paved road or parking lot then you will want to ride with your knees pointed outward. This is not only more comfortable for most people, but it will also help you to balance while riding. If you are riding in a wooded area where there are going to be trees and tall brush in the way, you will want to ride with your knees pointed upward and inward as much as possible. You should have some practice balancing on the bike before attempting to ride like this.
You are going to feel like a circus clown the first few times you ride the mini pocket rocket bike, and you might think that you look quite funny, but the fact is you don’t look any different than any other adult riding a mini pocket rocket bike. And lots of adults enjoy riding them for fun and for sport. Adult competition racing on mini pocket rocket bikes is a very popular sport. There are bikes that are made just for racing and you can even have them custom designed for use in competition sport.
