Miniature motorcycles have gone by a variety of names over the years: monkey bike, mini-bike, mini-moto, and pocket bike being just a few of them. Introduced in 1960, Honda's 'Monkey Bike' is by far the best known, though small-wheeled recreational mini-bikes had been around since the 1950s and the military Welbike (civilian Corgi) dated back to WW2.
Dating from 1980, this Yamaha QA50 Pocke pocket-bike is powered by a 49cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine producing a maximum of 3bhp and driving via a four-speed transmission. The Pocke is a little over 4' long, weighs 114lb, and rolls on 6" diameter wheels. The model lives on today as an electric commuter.
Imported from Japan in May 2021, this example is described by the vendor as in fair and original condition for its age, and is presented in running condition. The machine is offered with NOVA acknowledgement and a V5C document.
