We Found a Buried Mini Bike and Slammed It

Рет қаралды 210,353

Жыл бұрын

Ike found this 1960s mini bike abandoned in his junkyard, most likely placed there by his grandfather. This mini bike was so badly rusted away that we didn't mind cutting it up and turning it into a slammed mini bike! Is this the first ever low rider mini bike? We don't exactly restore this mini bike, but we install a Briggs and Stratton 5hp engine, brand new staggered wheels and tires for an awesome stance, and a new comfortable seat. This low rider mini bike isn't fast or easy to ride, but it sure looks cool!
Thanks for Watching!

it'd be really cool for you to make another frame copying this one, i love its lines and shape.... but with fresh metal you could use thicker wall tube on the back so it would hold the single side mount, and brace it with some fancy plasma cut parts... then sand it back and clean it up and just leave it in the pond for a few days to get the rusty swamp look. nice one guys

I REALLY love the single mount axle in the rear, and the Motovox sprocket cut out to show off that gorgeous Astro wheel was pure genius. I have always wanted those wheels to retrofit onto my DB30, but there's a brake disc on one side and the solid sprocket on the other. Gave me some great ideas!! This is another killer rat rod build.....well done, gentlemen....well done!

You guys need a tube bender type sponsor- that low rider frame you used (no, I have never seen anything like it- the front forks, with a spring above and below the frame head from the late '50s), well, it was bent and built using some pretty crude by our standards pipe benders. And bring that propeller era design into the jet age- raise the foot pegs to increase ground clearance in turns, run the bottom loop at an angle, rising to the rear to get a stronger axle and for wheelie clearance! You guys wrote the drill, time for the big tattoo! FR

Stability would be non existent over a couple mph. When you lean a bike into a turn the steering doesn't do what you think it does. After the intial lean balancing the bike with rear steering would throw you on the ground as it would turn the opposite direction.

I wish I still had my big brother's old minibike frame. He had a Rupp Roadster II. It was a street legal minibike from the 60s based on their "Black Widow" offroad model. It had "big" spoked wheels, front/rear suspension, front/rear drum brakes, headlight/taillight, and a little Tecumseh motor (I think it was 3hp) with a genuine Comet Torq-a-verter. We could get a running start and get air off a hill riding double! Rupp minibikes is good shape are VERY pricey, but you get a basket case Black Widow, and fix it up with modern OHV motor, torque converter, brakes, suspension, etc, and that would be WILD fun!

Heritage is a great thing to honor and respect. This very unique frame combined with Ike's cantilevered axle and rim mounted sprocket give the perfect mix of generations on this bike. It is so cool I would like to see you find someone who can bend heavy wall tubing in those tight bends and make a *new frame* with some tiny mods like moving the lower oval back an inch, shorten the axle riser 1 inch, raise the pegs forward and up, and build a new cantilevered fork/bars set with both springs below the headset. Honor and respect.

@krissfemmpaws1029 Жыл бұрын

That's a really cool minibike rebuild and would be cool to copy on a different frame. I'm a fair bit older than you guys, I remember Mechanics Illustrated doing a couple of mini bike shootout in the mid 60s and I think this was one of the bikes. The shootouts were you assemble kits and knock down you weld kits. Back in the day there were a number of companies that did knock down bike kits. The kits had all the tubes bent and fish-mouthed ready to be welded together. The one thing that was welded were the front forks on most of the kits. Ahh back when they had school shop classes!
