How Can I Find Out More About Pocket Bike Racing And How Do I Prepare?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Whether you intend getting serious about your pocket bike racing or are more than happy tooling about on private land with a few friends, online pocket bike forums, web sites and bulletin boards will play a massive role in ensuring you get the maximum enjoyment out of your pocket rocket.

    These days almost all new pocket bikes ship with a set of tools adequate for carrying out routine maintenance. If not, or you're buying used, obtain a good quality set of tools and look after them. Having the right tools for the job is essential, so outlay on even a simple set of metric spanners will be a worthwhile investment in the long run.

    Before riding your pocket bike – and especially so if racing – go through a safety checklist. This should include checks of the following:
    • handlebars
    • hand controls
    • foot pegs
    • tyre pressure and condition
    • bodywork
    • fuel load
    • chain drive
    • brakes
    • steering

    Getting into this habit and sticking to it will help ensure avoidable mishaps don't occur.
