Pocket bikes (mini motorcycles)

Mini motorcycles cannot be operated on roads in B.C.

Mini motorcycles, commonly referred to as “pocket bikes” or "mini choppers,” do not meet federal safety standards for use on public roads.

These vehicles don't meet minimum height specifications for headlamps, tail lamps, stop lamps, and turn signals. They're also difficult for other motorists to see.

Transport Canada classifies mini motorcycles as restricted use motorcycles that are permitted to be imported as competition vehicles for closed-course racing only.
