Mini Bikes For Kids, What A Variety

By Chris Frost

Mini bikes for kids today includes a wide variety of different styles and types. In the "old" days we would think of a small frame wide sort of bike with go cart tires and a lawn mower engine. The mini bikes of old used predominantly a 3. 5 hp motor and a centrifugal clutch for transmission. Those days are gone, modern technology has taken over in the mini bike field.

When we speak of mini bikes today, we conjure up a whole new picture. The mini bikes of today come in many styles and varieties and are powered either with a gas or an electric motor. In this article, we are going to examine the many different types of mini bikes that are available today.

The Super street bikes are just what they sound like. These are commonly a scaled down version of the "crotch rocket" type Japanese street bikes we see flying by us on the freeway everyday. These can be customized and made to go quite fast. This particular variety is very popular with the extreme mini bike enthusiast.

For the future bike gang member in the family, you can get the chopper mini bike. These are very popular, as a matter of fact, these are the fastest growing segment of the mini bike business. They can be customized just like the larger versions and be quite unique.

When we talk about mini dirt bikes, we are probably talking the closest to the old fashioned mini bike. There are versions of the old style mini bike, but with better qualities. Most of the mini dirt bikes are just scaled down versions of the dirt bikes we see at the motocross races. These mini bikes are designed to be ridden primarily in the dirt on rough terrain.

The competitive kids might want to go for a Super Pocket Rocket. These are fast! These bikes are again, fashioned after the Japanese "crotch rocket" and some will go just as fast, do not let the size fool you. These are considered to be the most dangerous of the mini bikes.

You can find all these styles of mini bikes with an electric motor to power them. These are much quieter and safer for the smaller kids in the family.

You should always think safety first when you put your child on one of these. Your child should always wear a helmet and any other safety gear that will keep your kid safe. - 30224
