A Guide To The Pit Bike

Pit bikes have developed seriously across the years, they were first built with four stroke engines which typically came out of yard apparatus like lawn mowers. However today you are much more likely to see a 2 stroke bike which has been designed to look the same as the bigger bikes available today. Mini pit bikes were first made by fans using spare parts which were discovered in their garage. The recognition of these pit bikesquickly grew and firms started to provide these bikes to sell to a growing market. The initial mini bike firms which were set up to sell these mini bikes were firms like Rupp, Arctic Cat and Fox. It is from these early designs that all of the categories of mini bikes were developed. Firstly the pocket bike / Minamoto was made, these are little racing duplicates of GP bikes. Pit bikes have also been made of the first designs, these now look like pit bikes and are far more sometimes being employed in contests. Also chopper mini bikes have been made, these are scaled down versions of bigger chopper bikes including duplicates of Harley Davidson choppers.
