Bay Town Choppers introduces Street Legal alternative to Pocket Bike.


September 23, 2004 - Pocket bikes are smaller then normal bikes giving riders a rush as they race only a few inches off the ground. Add a price tag that fits most budgets and a craze is born. Welcome to the next craze. Custom Mini Choppers.

With programs on TV almost every day following custom chopper builders and build offs across the country, the popularity of custom choppers has never been more intense. Custom Mini Choppers are a hybrid of Custom Choppers and Pocket Bikes. Only recently have commercially built Mini Choppers been made available to consumers. Previous examples had been weekend projects sitting in backyards across the country with strange lines and bad paint jobs.

Bay Town Choppers has been producing Custom Mini Choppers for almost a year in their San Francisco Bay Area shop. They are just one among many across the country building custom mini choppers, however, they are the only one offering street legal custom mini bikes. With the crackdown on pocket bikes and the media blitz covering their demise being street legal has never been more important.

"We offer our buyers the ultimate custom bike at an affordable price and a manageable package. Some of our buyers don't want a Custom Chopper with over a hundred horsepower and an equally high price tag." Ken Montes is the lead fabricator at Bay Town Choppers and still gets a charge out of the reactions his creations continue to receive. "Women love them because they are smaller then the full sized bikes, men love them because women like them. It never fails when a guy brings in his wife or girlfriend to show off his new purchase, they not only approve but want one for themselves." Ken can only laugh "Wife Approved!"

The mini choppers take about 6 weeks to build and the waiting list is only getting longer. A lot of the bikes are sold to people that see Ken and his business partner, and brother, Domenique, cruising their latest mini chopper around town. "We sell a lot locally, but we have sold all over the country thanks to our website, BayTownChoppers.com. "

The pocket bike craze may have been forced off the road but there are still options out there for people interested in mini bikes. This time it's legal.

Bay Town Choppers specializes in Custom Mini Choppers and other custom fabrication needs. There are several models to choose from however most clients prefer to customize the mini chopper to their exact tastes. Using a theme or idea provided by a client, Bay Town Choppers will use the clients input to produce a completed bike.
