Which is faster, an electric pocket bike, or a gas pocket bike? The speed would depend on the pocket bike. Currently, you can more easily find a faster gas pocket bike than an electric pocket bike. In the future though, this may not be the case. There are several electric cars out now that can easily smoke even the fastest gas cars when it comes to speed. When electric motors become more popular, you can bet there will be more faster electric pocket bikes on the market, but for now, gas pocket bikes are generally faster.

Which one costs less? At the time this article was written, you can get a gas pocket bike that goes faster than an electric pocket bike that costs around the same price. In the long run however, a gas pocket bike will cost more for you to use than an electric pocket bike, because you will have to pay for gas. The cost to charge an electric pocket bike is much less than the cost it takes to fuel a gas pocket bike.

Which has more choices? By far, currently there are much more gas pocket bikes being made than electric pocket bikes. This is one reason why they are generally cheaper. In a few years that may all change though!

Which requires less maintenance? Gas pocket bikes require more maintenance than an electric pocket bike. Gas motors require more work and upkeep than an electric pocket bike.

Which one is better for the environment? Without argument, electric pocket bikes are more environmentally friendly than gas pocket bikes. Electric pocket bikes produce no exhaust, no smell, and they run a lot quieter.

All in all, deciding which one is better will be a matter of opinion. Gas pocket bikes currently are generally faster, but electric bikes are cheaper to use and require less maintenance.

In my opinion, I think electric pocket bikes are much better than gas. I don’t like smelling exhaust, I like how quiet they are, and the fact that electric pocket bikes run clean and don’t pollute the air is a big plus to me. In a few years you can bet that electric pocket bikes will have caught up with gas pocket bikes in terms of speed, and when that happens there won’t be any contest as to which one is better!
