This is a day at the races me riding the mighty MANCENSTEIN

 

I used to have a homemade mini,loved that thing.

 

 

They have these at BJ's 399$

 

We had one similar to this, we bought it Atwoods, for 299.00 and it was not a good mini bike, it would not start, half the time, and would not stay running, and when I was 12 or so, we had this really old mini bike, and because I was a tomboy, I just had to ride this thing, well I was told not to turn to sharp or I would fall over, so I came upon this slab of concrete and I was afraid to turn
and well me and this mini bike went flying and it came down on top of me and I have one heck of a
scar from it, well that was end to my mini bike days

 

Sorry to hear that, Hey there is a minibike swapmeet in Wayne NJ april 27th I will be there
MINI BIKE SHOW SWAP MEET APRIL 27

 

Interesting thread. I like to restore old things. I see on my local CL an ad for brand new mini bikes @ $399 and it gives a web address full of off brand China machines I'm guessing.

I'm curious if a 6'3" 205 lb guy like myself would fit on one of those and if they would run down a off road trail. 23" seat height, but I'm tempted to test it out

Engine Size: 80cc
Cooling: Air Cooled
Transmission: Fully Automatic, Chain Drive, 1 Speed Only
Drive: CVT
Starter: Pull Start Only
Ignition: CDI
Chassis:
Rear Hand Brake: Hydraulic Disc
Tire Size: 145/70-6
Fuel Capacity: 2L
Dimensions:
Weight Capacity 250 lbs
Dry Weight: 77
Overall Size: 1280x335x900 mm
Seat Height: 23 inches

 

Ive always wondered too..

The CVT should at least keep it out of the foo foo category..

Be brave and let us all know..

 

I am only 5'9" but portly as all hell and I have taken the mancer off road but it's tough with the tires I have they slide terribly, I think rupp built some fun machines the Coleman one is fine for the trailks as long as they are fields and fire roads

 

Hi brumbear.

With good tires.. Do you think it would be a decent "slow" trail machine?
