I'm thinking of buying a Razor electric Pocket Rocket. Are there any mods for this for extra speed or to increase the size so maybe I would fit on it? Or if there is anything better to buy that has the same quality for the same price? The pocket rocket from Razor is aroung 199$
thanks I appreciate it.
yes I looked around for mods and couldn't find anything so don't tell me to go search around. Thanks.

well let me tell you that those things are crap they cant make a 5th grader go over 15 mph just get a gas powered one.But if you really want a electric bike put a good scooter motor on it to possibly give it a little power.

where do you live. if you live in adelaide, or australia(not sure if they ship), theres a lovely place called
The Three Amigos and they sell pocket bikes, motoGP replicas for $200. there are other bikes you can get from there.

My friend recently got a pocket bike about a week ago and its extremely fast. If you are going to get one, definitely get a gas because those will go up to 45 miles an hour and you don't have to charge it up every hour.
There are usually places which sell them for pretty cheap online or locally. If you are a large guy, you won't be getting over 10 miles an hour with that thing because of the low torque and will strain the motor.

Well russ seeing so i was going to buy one from there, i'd suggst not. There was a big discussion about it on the news, there bikes are cheap and have no brands. I mean they are ok, but i wouldnt say they are reliable bikes though, and eerything about them seems so dis-organised, and basically all they want to do is sell sel sell! I went in there they suggest i sat on this bike (it was a hot pink colour) they said only for reference, but then they started to hangle me into it, oooh we'll throw in a free helmet etc. But i mean go on that site, they sell camping tents for good sake, basically anything they can get in they wanna sell i guess.

I'm with thespeedycicada on this one, I think that a electric (or gas) powered bike or schooter would be a better alternative. Or you can be really odd and origional and try this alternative:
the rocket pack!
I would much rater perfer a pocket rocket launcher though

i didn't read the other replies but i think there pretty sweet. my little brother is a little spoiled and got 3 different kinds of razor scooters, what i did was take a battery out of one and put it on another so there were 3 batteries altogether. i drove it on the beach and it went alot faster...DO NOT GO OVER # BATTERIES if you try to hook up four it will severely mess up the control board thing.
if you need any help lemme know, i did this a while back so i dont remember to much but ill help out best i can.
" i also got pulled over by the cops one time when i was going to the gas station to get a drink. so make sure to ride it on your own private property.
