The X22 super bike claims to be among the absolute best in super pocket bikes as far as how street legal these mini motorcycles can be. But just how street legal is "street legal"? Do these pocket bikes meet all of the street legal standards of every location? And if not, to what extent must we modify the X22 super bike and other models in its class in order to meet regional and state guidelines?
The fact is that depending upon the overall size and type of engine these may run on, there are a small few states or regions that just will not allow these mini motorcycles in anything other than a race track or off-road setting. Some, such as the 45cc class super bikes, are simply just too small to be zipping along on down a busy public street, much less a highway, but some others are quite a bit larger than the tiny extreme, and are very legal indeed. The X22 super bike for example, uses a 110cc engine, and though smaller than the normal sized motorcycle, is quite considerably larger than the tiny 45cc type.
Equipped with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, brake lights and blinkers, dual head lights, foot activated shifting and a standard volume horn, the X22 super bike actually does meet the standards of most every state to be classified as a street legal super bike, but you may need to make a certain minor modification... merely adding rear view mirrors in order to pass safety inspections is pretty much all that's needed - check your local DMV.
