[Divy]

oh ok thanks cause ive been getting different answers about this ive gotton told that there clasified as a skateboard not a scooter so you can ride the sckateboard
some one told me a guy got fined but because they are clasifeid as a scateboard he got the fine reversed
i think the best way would to call the cop shop yeah ???

actually, i think if they are over 33cc its illegal, but my friend had a 30cc skateboard and the cops cant touch him.

 

[tassy]

and how do the pigs know what size motor it is as long as it looks small and has a quiet muffler on it you should be rite just say its 30cc 200w and by law they cant touch you

 

[Fenton]

Usually they have the cc on the engine, I think years ago it was 49cc then when pocket bikes got popular they changed it,

 

[PocketHead]

would there not be a reason that the pocket bikes are 49cc and not 50cc? maybe not in australia but im sure that plays a part in their design

200W is the limit, .25 of a HP mostly everyone can generate more power on a pushy.

might as well ride a horse if you can't generate one horse power
