As the name suggest, mini motos are miniature versions of full motorbikes. They are most commonly used for recreation, although there does exist some competitive racing for them. Minis, standing an no more than a couple of foot in height are primarily used for fun.
Midi motos on the other hand are smaller versions of full size racing bikes. They are a natural introduction to motorcycle riding for younger riders, especially those who prefer the shape and style of sports bikes rather than mopeds.
Pit bikes were originally used as a handy way of getting around the circuit and pit areas at race meetings. More closely resembling motocross bikes, they are mainly used for off-road fun.
Pit vs Midi vs Mini
Mini Motos
tend to use have a small 40cc 2 stroke engine which will have a top speed of around 25mph. Don’t be fooled though, this feels a lot faster when riding just inches from the ground.Midi Bikes
These are a lot larger than Mini Motos and can be ridden on public highways. Still with small two stroke engines they do have a lot more oomph and it is possible to get bikes capable of 60mph+ without any need for tuning.Pit Bikes
Pit bikes vary wildly in how much power they have. Whilst still used for their original purpose (as a way of easily getting around circuits) there has been a rise in the interest of racing pit bikes on circuits intended for their full size motocross cousins.Choosing A Bike
Each type of bike has a fairly specific purpose. Before purchasing, the main decision is whether you want to use the bike strictly for fun and if so, what surface do you intend to be riding on. Budget is also a factor although running costs are low for all bike types.If you have any stories, questions or advice on any of these bikes, we would love to hear about it in the comment below.
