They could be illegal. it depends where you live so if you live somewhere tht does have a big space then it should be ok
 
Pocket bikes are not… STREET MOTORCYCLES: Pocket bikes are highly specialized, miniature GP Racing motorcycles and not intended for use on the street, sidewalk or other areas used by motor vehicles. STAY OFF THE ROAD

The easiest way to find a good place to ride your pocket bike is through a regional pocket bike league. These regional pocket bike leagues hold racing events in various locations, typically speedways, go-kart tracks, or closed parking lots. These leagues can also point you in the direction of safe and legal places to ride outside of race time. If you can’t find a league in your region, you may want to search the yellow pages or internet for local go-kart tracks, which usually allow pocket bike riding at designated times.

If you’re not ready to join a league and would prefer to scout out a location on your own, there are several basic things you’ll want to look for;

_ A clear, open area that allows for a pocket bikes high speed.
_ No obstacles or obstructions that could cause harm or injury.
_ A smooth, flat surface area to maximize control over the pocket bike.
_ Steer clear of public roads and pedestrian-heavy areas.
