Mikrobike

Mikrobike refers to a very small, often custom-built or modified, motorcycle. These vehicles are typically much smaller than conventional motorcycles, sometimes resembling scaled-down versions of popular bike models or entirely unique designs. The term itself is a portmanteau of "micro" and "bike," emphasizing their diminutive size.

Mikrobikes are not a standardized class of vehicle and can vary widely in their specifications. They may be powered by small internal combustion engines, electric motors, or in some cases, even human power through pedals. Their primary purpose is often for novelty, personal amusement, or as a unique mode of transportation in very confined spaces. Due to their size and often rudimentary construction, mikrobikes are generally not street-legal and are intended for private property or specialized events.

The construction of mikrobikes often involves significant customization, with builders sourcing parts from various sources or fabricating components themselves. This can range from using miniature versions of motorcycle parts to repurposing components from other small machines. Interest in mikrobikes can stem from a desire for unique engineering projects, a passion for miniature vehicles, or the pursuit of unusual recreational activities. They represent a niche within the broader motorcycle and custom vehicle enthusiast communities.
