When I start my pocket bike it moves without me giving it throttle?

Question

I just got a pocket bike and everything on it is in working order except that when i start it up it moves without me doing anyhting, and then when i give it gas it stalls, its a 49cc 2 stroke bike.

Answer 1

Sounds like a typical POS pocket bike.

It could either be the clutch is sticking, or the idle speed is too high.

Answer 2

It sounds like your clucht is not fully disengaging

Answer 3

dodgy clutch  

Answer 4

Don't hold on to the throttle cable.
