Nope, I have 2 street bikes (ZG1000, EX500) and my son has a 350 watt electric bike (15 mph max) I got him when he was 5. Both of my bikes absolutley fly but I can't tell you how fast I've been 8-[ ... er, rather wont.... I simply dont have the guts to go any faster than I have for 2 reasons.

1)Cops, tickets, jail.... #-o

2)I wanna stay alive. :cheers:

I had a friend fall durring a high speed run and now is crippled for life.:thumbdown

Make sure your using protective gear=d> , and make sure you not rolling on a public road. Pocket bikes are hard to see, even for other riders. Join a club and then you get to use a track to ride. Get to go faster, on better surfaces, with 0 chance of getting hit by a car or a speeding ticket. Join a group like this http://www.wmrra.com/, but you'll need to be a licensed driver, have a motorcycle endorcement, and a bike. With a little searching you might be able to find a pocket bike race club..

Good Luck, and keep it on 2 wheels!



A free WashingtonLakes.com bumper sticker to the first person that can tell me where my bike is parked. Geographic name please.. city, location.. something like that. "In a parking spot" doesnt count...

Holly Carp that was fast, under 5 minutes. Ok DrewP, you got it. I'll be back up there on Sept 5 for 4 days camping. Gotta be the best State Park in Washington.

I was gonna say 'near a hippie bus' but then I saw the bridge. Deception Pass. That place is awesome, unless you fall in when the tide is rushing under the bridge. That sucks. Because it's really cold and really fast and really suckish. I went there on a camping trip and my friends dog tried to swim after a stick that was rushing out with the current. That was pretty scary.

But farm raised Costco salmon is terrible! Give him three fish to make up the difference. It will hold off poaching for a bit longer too.
