| North Dakota Supermoto recognizes pocket rockets as a growing segment of Supermoto
and we will have a Pocket Rocket class at each of our races. Pocket
Rockets will also be allowed to practice on our practice days. If you have a Pocket Rocket or want to purchase one please call Jeremy at 701.220-3824. Jeremy can get you set up to race. Jeremy will also be in charge of
the Pocket Rocket racing. A pocketbike is a miniature GP Racing motorcycle. It stands about 15 to
18 inches high depending on the model and brand weighing anywhere from 35 to
55 pounds. Pocketbike Racing is a rapidly growing sport for both children
and adults, and by their nature are just pure fun to ride. Although they may
appear to look like toys, the European minimotos are built to high quality
standards of accuracy and proportion of a the world class GP bike. 2. How do pocketbikes handle in comparison to a full size motorcycle? A pocketbike handles much like a larger motorcycle, but because the
wheelbase and weight are much less, it changes direction quicker. The front
wheel of the more powerful pocketbike models can rise up without hesitation
with the application of power; also due to the short wheelbase, they can
turn very quickly. This in most peoples opinion adds to the fun factor, but
demands that the rider has protective clothing,
and is familiar with the bike in question. |
