Mini Pocket bike help please??

Question

I am thinking of buying one of those mini pocket bikes and I heard that they are hard to ride on because they are hard to turn. Is this true? my friend said that you have to lean side ways to turn that there is no stearing is that true? would you reccomend a mini pocket bike to ride around on in a neighbor hood? is that illegal? Please let me know thanks.

Under 50cc and it's doesn't need to be registered as a motor vehicle(check your state laws). I personally wouldn't ride one of thsoe around unless you live in the country with wide open roads. They are too small and low and you can easily. You need to lean since the front wheel of the pocket bike has limited motionand  does not  spin around lke a front  bicycle wheel
