Riding Electric Chopper Mini Bikes

Although electric mini choppers are extremely cost efficient and they would seem to be the answer to today’s soaring cost of gas, unfortunately they are not designed for use on the streets. Electric mini choppers are not street legal automatically and need special permission in most states, and laws and regulations that govern the operation of mini choppers may vary from state to state, even from city to city.

To be legal on public roads, motorized vehicles, including street legal mini choppers, need to meet the U.S. Department of Transportation’s vehicle design safety and equipment requirements and local regulations.

We would recommend you to check your state and local mini motorcycle and scooter laws and insurance requirement before purchasing your electric mini choppers, in order to know if the mini choppers you want to buy are street legal mini choppers or not. We recommend that you contact your local law enforcement agency, your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and insurance agent or carrier. They will provide you with accurate information on mini choppers regulation for your area.

Especially be sure to check this information if you live in California, Florida, New York, New Jersey or Oregon, because these states are the ones with the most motorcycle regulations. For example, at least two traffic violations could apply for anyone found using gas or electric mini choppers on public roads in Oregon (Operation of an unsafe vehicle and Operation of a vehicle that violates equipment rules).

There are some options for legally riding factory built or custom mini choppers. For example, the North American Pocket Bike Racing Association has been established to promote racing, and go-kart tracks offer a road racecourse that is perfect for gas powered or electric mini choppers.

Always keep in mind that electric or gas mini choppers are meant to be ridden on dry hard surfaces, so don’t ride them through water or mud since water can cause damage on them.

Safety Recommendations When Riding Electric Mini Chopper Bikes

While obvious precautions need to be taken when riding any kind of vehicle, electric mini choppers may be enjoyed by responsible riders in the proper environment. Mini choppers should be ridden in controlled environments with smooth surfaces. Avoid wet and icy conditions, speed bumps, sand, gravel and anything that could cause your tires to skid. Never ride at night.

They should not be ridden by kids under 12, and parents should always determine the kid's maturity, skill and ability to follow rules before allowing him to ride his mini chopper.

At a minimum, always wear helmet, elbow and kneepads when riding an electric mini chopper.

Maintaining Electric Mini Bikes

It's a good idea to do proper and regular maintenance on electric mini choppers, to getting the most out of them and to ensure they will perform their best and improve their longevity.

Before riding your electric mini chopper check all mini chopper parts: joints, hinges and quick releases to ensure the mini chopper is properly assembled and make sure the tires are inflated properly. Low air pressure induces extra rolling friction, reduces ground clearance, and wears the tires quicker. Batteries should be charged frequently, especially after prolonged rides, but allow the batteries to cool for an hour before charging as heat can damage them.

As a final recommendation we can say that the best thing to do is to always consult the owner’s manual for proper maintaining, as certain things such as fuel mixture or tire pressure may vary from bike to bike.
