Pocket Bike Planet: Another Artery of Bike Life.

Ellesmere Port in Cheshire, England is having a hard time understanding the pocket bike planet. It is not just young riders anxiously awaiting a motocross park so they can ride without disturbing others and ride in a safe environment.

It seems that even adults are stopped alongside the canal towpath for riding quad bikes, sometimes with children aboard and none with helmets.

So how has the pocket bike planet affected the area? The police department is busy as citizens report instance after instance of noise and complaining about uninsured bikes.

Imagine dispatching a police helicopter on a Sunday night just to collect information about the flurry on town streets. The following evening more reports arrive about kids gathering on a road to ride a mini moto.

According to PCSO Craig Simpson, it is a frequent complaint and bikes are confiscated. The police are trying to get as many illegal bikes off the road as they can.

He added that they cycle to the offenders, who do not identify themselves to police officers in time. Some even leave the bike and run. The department is attempting to get funding to train several officers to ride off-road bikes and attempt to curtail the problem.

Department procedure suggests not pursuing mini moto riders, in case there is no helmet to protect the youths in an accident. A motocross park, scheduled to open soon, will hopefully entice the riders out to Shellway Road and a legal, safe environment. BASE will run the park and has some of the kids helping with the track construction.

Simpson added the majority of the illegal riders right now have limited, if any, safety gear and seldom even a crash helmet. It is anyone's guess whether or not that group will go to the track, which will certainly require safety motocross gear.

It seems like some citizens of the pocket bike planet are intent on firing up the fury of non-riding citizens as high as possible.

It simply doesn’t have to be this way, a pit bike can be a harmonious pursuit, given the right preparation.

Chinese pocket bikes

If you want to know where the "HUB" of pocket bike and pitbike manufacture IS right now its china!

If anywhere in the world makes more mini dirtbikes than anywhere else it’s here.

We have all seen them for sale and they do make good sense to buy, if you’re a beginner and wish to keep your cash on a tight reign. Quality isn’t as good as the Japanese brands that’s to be expected. The old saying you get what you pay for has always been true.

If you are intending to take the sport to its limits a Chinese bike may not be for you. But hundreds of riders use them as an accessible way to begin pitbiking and see if they enjoy it.
