Minimoto developed considerably over the years, built before the mower with 4-stroke engines, which usually came from garden equipment like lawn. But today it is more likely today to see two-stroke motorcycle that was designed to look exactly like the bigger bikes.
Mini bikes have been created by garage fans with their parts, which were found in this started to become popular inthe 50's with many people using them as 'pit bikes' for drag racers. They were useful as they took up roughly around the same amount of room as a bicycle would in the trailer and were easy to manouvre and were a lot quicker than bicycles when used around the pit lanes.
The racers that created these would then often use these motorcycles at home and around their neighborhood where children would see them and want them as they liked the idea of a 'mini motorcycle'. The popularity of these motos quickly grew and companies started to produce these bikes in order to sell to a growing market. The first mini bike companies which were set up to sell these mini bikes were companies such as Rupp, Arctic cat and Fox.
It is from these early designs that all other forms of mini bikes were developed. Firstly the pocketbike/mini moto was created, these are miniature racing replicas of GP
