"The drawing should be accurate to the pocket bike."
What does it mean by "accurate to the pocket bike"?

Thank you!
Tony

I'm afraid that without more context it makes no sense to me at all!

Is it talking about a product called a pocket bike?

Sorry can't help more,
Ian

Ah! In that case I expect the writer is trying to say that the drawing is an accurate representation of the pocket bike.

Hope helps,
Ian

Thank you all. Here is the original sentence:

"0.15 marks if drawing is accurate to the pocket bike."

It is about the Worldskill manufacturing competiation.
