Ride minibikes legally

The government has unveiled plans to crackdown on people riding minibikes on public roads but use our track guide and you can find a place to legally ride.

The plan follows on from the targeting of dealers selling illegal bikes, as reported on August 1, and is being back by the Motorcycle Industry Association.

The Home Office initiative will include both education about the fact that it is illegal to use the bikes on any land with public access as well as enforcement of the law.

The MCI is backing the move but has also called for the Government to recognise that provision of dedicated minibike tracks is also essential.

Craig Carey-Clinch MCI’s Director of Public Affairs said, “ We know that the illicit use of mini motos is causing significant nuisance. However, the MCI also believes that legitimate use of mini-bikes can be a positive activity if properly provided for.

“The crux of the problem, as it was with BMX bikes and skateboards 20 years ago, is the lack of places for these bike to be ridden in a safe controlled environment. MCI calls on local authorities to work with organisations like the ACU to create riding areas, as this will help to reduce problems on the streets.”
