Lancaster Mini Motorcycle Usage
What is a mini motorcycle?
A minibike or pocket bike is exactly what it sounds like. A miniature motorcycle sitting at about the height of a car bumper and is defined as a recreational vehicle. It’s not street legal in most if not all states, and they’re extremely lacking in safety equipment.
Technically classified as a motor-driven cycle in PA, you need to be 16 years old and have a Class C Driver’s License to operate them off of private property. You also need to follow all street laws, or you can be pulled over by authorities.
The key takeaways when looking at mini motorcycles in PA is:
- Their small size means they aren’t easily seen
- Accidents on them can be fatal
- It takes a lot of modifications to make them street-legal
- Even with modifications, you can’t always get them registered
