Pocket bikes are mass produced on assembly lines and as a result seem to have lost a little bit of grit and personality from the days where they were only available to those with the heart to build one from scrap. For the enthusiasts today who want to personalize their pocket bikes there are numerous specialized shops that sell pocket bike parts specifically for the purpose of building or customizing a pocket bike.

There are engine parts, frame parts and performance parts for pocket bikes. The engine parts is self explanatory and the frame parts is anything visible once the bike is put together. It makes up the exterior and the body of the bike. The performance parts are modifications that alter the performance of the pocket bike. These parts come together to form the entirety of the pocket bike and each piece makes the bike customizable to the owners preference.

Pocket bike engines are very similar to lawn mowing engines. Both are commonly four stroke engines and about the same size. The difference is the build and a pocket bike can’t be built around a lawn mowing engine because of the direction the engine shaft is built.

What you can do, however, is find an engine that is specially built for pocket bikes. These engines are now improved for the specialized needs of a pocket bike. Double stroke engines are easily available at most bike shops and offer around 49cc of power. You can also find something that has 110cc for larger bikes like the super pocket rockets.

The frame parts makes up the body of the bike. It serves to hold the bike together by the skeleton inside. It is also what supports the weight of the bike and the rider. These parts range from the shell to the seating to the tires and give the bike its look.

Performance parts range from simple amateur mods to professional mods. These are any customizations that give the bike more power by optimizing its performance and making it more fun for the rider. This can be small things like changing the air filter to more advanced modifications such as a two piece compression head kit or changing the reed cage. The great thing about these parts is that the owner can do as much or as little and get correlating improvements to his bike.

Many other options are available that does not directly improve the performance of the bike but still enhances the riders experience. It tends to be more aesthetic and comfort as opposed to giving the bike power and handling. Things like built-in LCD screens or more comfortable seating would fall in this category.

Pocket bike parts allow the owners to customize their bikes to their hearts content. Some would even buy a kit and build it themselves. For hands on pocket bike enthusiasts, the only limit is their imagination and wallet.
