Most brakes for pockets bikes are easy to check and keep in good order. Regularly check the conditions of brakes such as whether pads are not wearing thin.

Use the best fuel on the market within your financial ability. The same applies to engine oil, too. It is also important to keep the ratio of fuel to engine oil. Finding the optimum ratio for your mini bike is a good way to improve the performance.

It is well-known fact that well-lubricated mini bikes will stay in a good shape that than those that are not given proper lubrication. For example, good lubrication oil can improve the chain life to a great degree.

PROPOSED laws to impound and crush monkey bikes that are ridden illegally could spell the end of the sport, legitimate riders say.

SA Mini Bike Riders Association president Peter Kalleske said he would support the laws if a legal riding track was built in the south.

“There’s no point having these laws if there’s no legal alternative,” he said.

“What we really need is a track where people can ride safely.”

Under the legislation announced last week by Attorney General Michael Atkinson, monkey bike riders caught on public roads, footpaths and parks could also face fines of up to $5000.

Monkey bikes, about half the size of a standard motorcycle, can reach speeds of up to 70km/h.

Three southern mini-bike shops – SA Fun Bikes, owned by Mr Kalleske, Pro 50s and Total Imports – have closed this year because of dwindling interest in the sport.

“We were going backwards because there was nowhere to ride the bikes, so people weren’t buying them,” Mr Kalleske said.

He said the association’s membership had also dropped from about 45 to “30-something”.

In 2007, the association submitted a 200-signature petition to Onkaparinga Council calling for land at the former dump site on Meyer Rd, Lonsdale, to be set aside for a track.

But this proposal and three other locations at Kangarilla, Morphett Vale and Coromandel Valley were all ruled out due to noise issues and conflicts with other land users. A suitable site has yet to be found by the council.

Mini-bike rider Luke Robertson, of Reynella, said the tougher laws would be the “end of the sport”. “Most of my friends have sold their bikes,” he said.

“We can’t race any more (at Two Wells) because membership is dropping and the association doesn’t have enough money to advertise and buy medals.”

South Coast Police traffic manager Kim Fischer declined to comment.

The legislation is likely to be considered by State Parliament if Labor is re-elected in March.

Racing pocket bikes, also called Minimoto racing, is racing on smaller versions of full size racing motorbikes, which are known most commonly as pocket bikes. This type of racing usually occurs on kart tracks. It’s an extremely popular sport in Japan and Europe, and is gaining in popularity in many other parts of the world, especially in the United States.

In general a pocket bike is about a fourth a normal motorcycles size, and is powered by an internal combustion engine of between 40-50 cubic centimetres outputting between three and fifteen hp, depending on the actual model. There is no suspension on a pocket bike but they rely instead on bumps being absorbed by the tires. Most models weigh about thirty five pounds. The entry-level models will generally output roughly three or four h.p., while the more expensive racing models can be much more powerful. The finest pocket bikes for racing provide a good power-to-weight ratio. Performance enhancements are sometimes added to increase speed and acceleration. Despite their miniature size, both children and adults can reach speeds of at least 60 m.p.h under good conditions.

Pocket bikes are small and easy to transport, and they do not cost a lot which increases their attractiveness to both adults and children. The lowest cost pocket bikes imported from China start at approximately $200 for a basic model, while you could pay as much as as $5500 for a top of the line Italian bike. Children from the age of about 6 or 7 can be taught the basics about motorcycle racing and adults are able to experience the thrill of motorbike racing without the huge costs and danger involved in the usual full size motorcycle racing.

Police had received complaints from residents about the problems on the spinal footpath leading from Oak Tree Park on the Abbey Manor Park estate.

PC Jackie Poole and PCSO Graham Phimster have since identified a number of culprits and together with the Somerset Road Safety Partnership, are putting a number of them forward to take part in an educational programme called Kickstart.

A police spokesman said: “This scheme is run in three parts. The first of which is classroom based including presentations on owning and using a vehicle safety and driving skills, vehicle maintenance, laws and responsibilities and environment issues.”

The second part involves a practical session in a controlled environment hightlighting the issues already taught in the classroom, followed by a final video and debrief.

Police remind people about the laws over mini-motos Mini-moto riders to go on Kickstart course

EIn Unfall mit Folgen – die Familie des verunfallten Teenagers hat Strafanzeige eingereicht. (Symbolbild) Quelle: key

Der tödliche Unfall in Menziken liegt nun im Bezirksamt Kulm beim Untersuchungsrichter. Die Familie des Opfers hat Strafanzeige gegen Unbekannt wegen fahrlässiger Tötung eingereicht.

Die Familie des im August in Menziken tödlich verunfallten Knaben hat beim Bezirksamt Kulm eine Strafanzeige gegen Unbekannt wegen fahrlässiger Tötung eingereicht. Ihr Sohn war auf dem Wyna-Uferweg mit einem Minitöff unterwegs gewesen und in die Absperrkette bei der Skateboardanlage hineingefahren und hängen geblieben. Dabei hatte er sich tödlich verletzt. Der Untersuchungsrichter des Bezirksamtes werde den Sachverhalt und die Umstände, wie die Verkehrssignalisation genau klären, äussert der Anwalt der Familie gegenüber der AZ. Es gehe darum, festzustellen, ob sich jemand strafrechtlich verantwortlich gemacht habe.

Die Menziker Behörde hatte die Absperrung mit drei Pfosten und einer Kette vor 15 Jahren installiert, um das allgemeine Fahrverbot auf dem Uferweg durchzusetzen (AZ von gestern). Die Gemeinde hat jetzt ein Baugesuch eingereicht, sie will die Kette durch eine rot-weiss markierte Barriere ersetzen. (psi)
