Costing much less than a full size, full power dirt bike they are perfect for your budding Motocrosser also becoming very popular with children of all ages.
How do mini dirt bikes differ from standard dirt bikes?
Apart from the fact that they are normally designed to carry only ten stone in weight also are much smaller than a normal dirt bike, a mini dirt bike has a lot less power; normally around a 47cc two-stroke engine. They obviously have all the working parts also are designed as well as a 250cc, also because they weigh less also carry less it is still possible to get a quite impressive 70kph out of them.
The petrol tank is much smaller holding only around one litre of petrol also seat height ranges from 500 to 600 mm off the ground. They have full shock suspension also brakes also are perfectly safe to drive as long as a reasonable amount of care also safety is used.
Are mini dirt bikes really safe?
As with any motor powered bike, or car for that matter, there is an element of danger involved also proper safety measures should be taken into consideration especially if you are buying one for your child. It is advised not to let pre teens ride a mini dirt bike because they can still do considerable speed also offer little in protection in the event of a crash.
A helmet also safety suit should be worn an at all times when riding a mini dirt bike, also riding without these is dangerous also fool hardy. As long as you pay close attention to the safety of the rider, though, mini dirt bikes are incredibly good fun also a really good way to get the adrenalin pumping.
How much do mini dirt bikes cost?
The bike itself is comparatively inexpensive, when compared to a full size dirt bike, also you can expect to pay anywhere between £150 also £300 (roughly $300 also $600) depending on the make, model also specifications you require. You or else need to buy a strong helmet also protective clothing if you want to take this seriously also safely. These can vary dramatically in price dependant on whether you want the outfit to match the bike, whether you buy a well-known brand also whether you buy new or used.
Obviously you have to pay for petrol however this is next to nothing because a two-stroke 47cc engine will literally run for miles on a litre of petrol. Apart from that, repairs or new parts are really the only other price you need to take into consideration also again, these are relatively inexpensive.
