“The classic bike for tooling the neighborhood or doing a double peg grind. Reinforced steel, super comfortable seat that wont cut off the circulation to your scrotum too bad. (i.e. for wimps!) A great deal for the cash-strapped.”
— Pedal and Metal Cycles description.
The PED Cycles[1] BMX is a bicycle appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
The bike previously appeared in the 3D Universe where, in one appearance, it had two variants.
Design[]
The BMX is particularly small, with a small frame and wheels. It only has one brake, on the right handlebar, and does not feature a bell or light. Despite the description of the bicycle stating it has pegs, the in-game model does not feature any. The BMX spawns in a variety of primary colors for the frame.
Performance[]
The BMX is not as fast as the three race bikes (Tri-Cycles, Whippet and Endurex) and the Scorcher, but is faster than the Cruiser. The BMX is quite small, light and maneuverable, making it easier to perform stunts such as bunny hops and wheelies. The BMX is not indestructible, and the wheels can be dismounted if the player collides with another object or vehicle at high speed.

Oversights[]
- If the player manages to take a BMX to the boundary limits where vehicles stop working, the BMX will behave like a motorbike with a failed engine, with the player acting as if they were trying to kick-start the engine.
- Despite not having a bell, NPCs will still react to the player if they repeatedly press the "horn" button near them.
