They are not legal. The smallest street legal bike is a YSR50.:thumbup:

haha... so does that mean anything over a 50 cc is legal? no. It depends. For example 2strokes are no longer legal. They were, but if you had one from way back and its up to date on registration, it can be street legal. The closest thing to a pocket bike would either be a scooter or a YSR50.

If you get her a pocket bike only place she can actually have fun with it and not get in trouble would be at a track:)

In CA they have to meet safty standards AND have a VIN # in order for them to be street legal... thats because they want to be able to track them and extort reg fee's every year out of you... also in the state of CA it would also need to be insured
