Pocketbike to learn BP,yes or no?

I've read that pocketbikes are pieces of crap and it's better to just get a fiddy, but I was wondering if it was worth it to buy a pocketbike (they're a lot cheaper than a fiddy) just to learn BP. If the pocketbike could help me accomplish that, it would be worth it. I found a pocketbike for $250 + shipping and was curious if I could use this to find balance point and learn brake control.

Don't do it! unless you are buying a pocket bike with some serious power...and that ain't happening for $250. You are better off with a xr50 trust me on this.
