mikrobikes

Mikrobikes, also known as minibikes or pocket bikes, are small, motorized recreational vehicles. They typically feature a compact frame, a small engine, and low-profile tires. Mikrobikes are designed for off-road use or for use on closed courses, and are not street legal in most jurisdictions due to their size, lack of safety features, and low speeds.

The history of mikrobikes can be traced back to the mid-20th century, with early examples emerging in the United States and Europe. They gained popularity as a simple and affordable way for enthusiasts to engage in motorized sports. Over time, designs evolved, leading to more sophisticated models with improved performance and handling.

Mikrobikes are often used for recreational riding, as a training tool for larger motorcycles, or in organized racing events. Various classes and competitions exist, catering to different engine sizes and rider skill levels. Safety gear, such as helmets and protective clothing, is highly recommended when operating a mikrobike. Due to their small size, they are generally not suitable for adults, though larger versions exist. Their primary appeal lies in their agility and the accessible entry point they offer into the world of motorized recreation.
