A Pocket Bike is a miniature motorcycle, with a wheelbase in the range of 1000mm and an engine displacing between 30cc and 50cc. A typical Pocket Bike is about one-quarter the size of a regular motorcycle and is powered by a two-stroke internal combustion engine producing somewhere between 1.8 and 11 kW. Pocket Bikes have no suspension and weigh around 23 kg. Here we have something very unusual, a scale replica of a Kneeler racing outfit built around a Swedish-built Dandy Pocket Bike. A race fairing and sidecar passenger platform has been crafted, while power comes from a Roland RP-40 50cc two-stroke engine driving through a centrifugal automatic. In most countries, a license is not required to ride these miniature bikes, however they are also not usually street legal and can only be ridden on private land.
