Americans got their first glimpse of pocket bikes just a few years ago. They were brought here from Italy and cost upwards of $4000 a pocket bike. That is what really kept the sport from growing here in the U.S. While many found these pocket bikes cool and interesting, not many people were willing to buy a mini motorcycle for almost the price of a real motorcycle.
Some pocket bikes are run on gas and some on electricity. Gas models are faster than the electrics. If the bikes are for a younger person the electric might be a good idea. The electrics have there own charger and you simply put them on the charger overnight. Pocket bikes were very expensive when they first came out but prices have dropped very much.
Fortunately for us today, there are several manufacturers that have taken the principals pioneered and tested by these original manufacturers and applied them to the pocket bikes and super pocket bikes you see today. Costs have been cut, and more technologically advanced manufacturing plants have further driven down costs. However, some manufacturers also cut the quality of the parts and motor that goes into a pocket bike.
So what is the difference between a pocket bike & a super pocket bike? A pocket bike is smaller in size and lighter in weight.

It accelerates very fast, reaches the finish line in a matter of a few seconds and has a very flat torque curves. This is ideal for racing. These smaller pocket bikes also have less bells-and-whistles for the sake of weight reduction. Weight, in any vehicle, is the enemy.

It will depend on the type and the amount of money that you want to spend on your pocket bike. It is going to be so much fun shopping for the perfect bike for you.
Depending on what country and or state you live in there will be differing rules and regulations for riding these great little bikes.
