I wanted to share a short tidbit about a man who helped popularize pocket bikes in California. I got a Go-Ped from him many years ago and this is where I first found out about pocket bikes. I almost walked out of the store with a $2000 Blata Elite 11 back in the day.

Donald Sercombe, owner, Mini Motos Etc.

LA Times article about his shop and the pocket bikes he sold: http://articles.latimes.com/1999/feb/23/news/cl-10690

If you know of any pocket bike shops anywhere in the country, please comment and I will make a page with a listing for every state.

A friend forwarded me these pictures of his shop when it was stocked wall-to-wall with Balta's:



Know of any pocket bike shop still in business? Please post. This one closed around 2010 soon after the owner passed away.
