I would like to see a show on "Midbikes" a whole show can be made of the diferent components that make it up.
For example, How they mass produce the frames, How they make the 110cc single cylinder engines, and How do they make the plastic fairings for them (plastic body).

The bikes are made in China. These bike have grown in popularity in the last couple of year. It is an emerging sport that is not to expensive to get into. The bikes can be bought online and shipped to your door for $600 dollars. As I mentioned it is a growing sport. Some poeple like to race these bikes like the MOTO GP bike, but Midsized. These bikes have potential behind them whether they are moddified to be a track bike, drag bike, Stunt bike, Show bike and even a daily driver. Yes I said it a daily driver. These bikes meet the requirements to be classified as a motorcycle, not a toy.

It makes commuting in the city more efficient, great gas mileage (80MPG) but the tank only holds 1/2 gal.) easy and fun to ride, don't have to worry about parking cause of size.

A large group of hobbyist have sprung up around these bikes. We aren't talking about the very small pocket bikes but their cousins the Mid or Super Pocket Bike. They are a size larger meaning a Pocket Bike are 12-15 inches high and a Mid Bike is 24-26 inches high. They are the racier alternative to the "geeky" scooter lolol and they are just plain fun and practical to boot.
