smart: In the past my parents have said that they are going to wait a while for money and different things and also said their is nowhere to ride it(i believe the main reason is safety) OKAY! i found brand new GAS mini four wheelers online and GAS pocket bikes for about 250$ and under.....i want to buy one but how do i convince my parents to buy it (i am willing to pay about 150$ out of my pocket)How to convince my parents to help me buy a GAS pocket bike or mini four wheeler?beg them like you are begging for your life i would opt for a mini quad cause the past few pocket bikes i have had was fun for the first few days and then they get boring quick so you will start to do stupid things on them that always ends in injury if you do get a pocket stay with the 50cc,last 50cc i had i locked the motor up on relying on the oil injection and it leaned out,but what i am getting to is i took a piston and cylinder from a 90cc dirt bike and fitted it to the little 50cc bike and it was entirely to fast just so you know i am an adult also,the reason i have small stuff like that is i like to have toys,plus me and a few friends use to play around on small quads on a small track racing and wrecking and such,currently we are all working toward setting ourselves up with some pit bikes to race through the woods on,got to ride a ktm 85 a few weeks back and after its beefed up a little it will be awesome
