Are "mini pocket rocket" pocket bikes street legal?



i'm 14 ready to purchase a pocket bike from "minipocketrockets.com" and they said that their pocket bikes are street legal. Does any one have more detail about this?

I'm sure it depends on the state, however I know for a fact they're illegal for street riding in Colorado. The cops were out here this past summer stopping the kids and escorting them home.

Think about it. The low profile on these things can get you killed easily. People can barely see full sized, multi-light, motorcycles with riders in green neon. There's no way they're going to see a pocket bike that, with rider, is probably no higher than 3'.
No, they're not.
If you ride it here you must have it licensed..and you're too young to get a license for one.
I know that here in IL they are illegal for street ops. If you take one on the street, the police will stop you and ticket you. Repeat offenses will get the bike tossed in the trunk of the cruiser.
no its not street legal
Not possible. Even if you fit the thing with working lights and signals, it would still be too low for car drivers to see you. It's difficult enough for them to see regular bike riders, you'd be practically invisible. Not a good thing if you value your life.
NO, Nope, No Way, UhUh.
The super pocket bikes may be street legal if there is turn signals, headlights and other stuff. To make it street legal the headlights have to be a certain height off the ground. And you must wear a helmet and be at least 15 to get a moped liscense. In michigan if you have all that stuff and it under 50cc then it could possibly be street legal. I still would'nt recommend riding on the street because it would be very dangerous because you cant see them very well. I would recommend a moped if anything because there bigger and there a little easier to see.
