One of the most frequent questions we get from our customers is, "what are pit bikes? Are they street legal?"
We hope to answer those questions and many more in this article.
Pit bikes are a smaller alternative to other motorcycles, such as dirt bikes and are more lightweight.
Traditionally pit bikes are usually used in pit racing events that staff use to move around the pit areas.
But they've since grown in popularity, and manufacturers have been improving the design and functionality aimed toward children, teens and small adults.
The main difference between pit bikes and dirt bikes is that pit bikes are much smaller and less powerful than dirt bikes.
Hence, parents love pit bikes as they're a great way to introduce children to the world of motorbikes.
In terms of power, pit bikes are generally in the region of 50cc - 150cc, whereas dirt bikes start at 125cc and can go up to 750cc and more.
Unfortunately, pit bikes are not road legal technically.
However, with that being said, you can make adjustments to your pit bike for it to be street legal.
These mainly revolve around meeting the requirements of the DVLA to make the pit bike legal for road use.
For a fully in-depth process of registering your pit bike to be legal on the road, our friends, The Offroaders, have a great article detailing the steps you need to take.
We have a wide range of pit bikes in stock and are available to buy today. We stock some of the top brands in the market from 10ten and M2R.
