the video doesnt work, is it like a tiny motorbike, about 35-50cm off the ground (or something like that)

Hmm...sorry bout that. I just tried the link, it works. Yeah, your discription is correct.

yeah, over here in the UK we call them mini-motos, but u can get one like half way between a mini-moto and a normal motorbike called a medi moto. I dont have one coz they are hard to ride

Yeah, I have one of those too. It's just that I can't take it in my trunk whereever I go.

They sure are hard to ride. I tried to hold a willy on the smaller one and crashed in front of a bunch of band kids practicing after school. It's a horrible feeling having school kids laughing at a immature 28 year old kid like myself. w00t.gif

I think that looks cool. I might one some day. For now that looks really easy to fall off of.

I saw one person riding around on one once and I couldn't help but laugh. I would assume they are fun - as are most forms of strange transportation - but they remind me of circus clowns riding tricycles.

Had to edit to say this: I'm not trying to make fun of you guys who ride on them. Go have fun!

Hey, I have fun watching people laughing, and sometimes while riding with a group of 20 of us, I can't help but to laugh under my helmet. What's funnier is watching when these things get modified to the point that brakes hardly work.

I think the world record holder got 106 mph on his, on a quarter mile race track.
But it's funny how we pass cars driving on the street. My buddy got his on the freeway doing 73 mph. That's like having a go cart pass you up, but we are a lot faster.

I miss my real motorcycle....GSX-R 750 baby! RIP...she went to motorcycle heaven.

Yikes -- too fast being that close to the ground I think.

Although that doesn't really make sense - less far to fall to hit the ground original.gif

'Twould be funny seeing a pocket bike 'gang' going around together. I've only ever seen one.

Moterized bikes make me nervous for some reason.

The link works, but you gotta give it like 20 seconds to load before it plays.
