Anything interesting I can do with a minimoto?

[Alpha-9]

A while ago me and my friend picked up 2 mini-moto's from ebay for £60 each (bargain we thought!)

They're pretty agro with a pull start, manual choke and 2 stroke fuel which you have to premix
Assume they're 50cc...

Is there anything interesting I could do with it, so I can learn somethign about mechanics in bikes?
I know its probably mechanically very different to my geared YBR...

Maybe make a hovercraft out of it or something

The tyres are utterly bald on it and when we took it for a lol ride a year ago round some woods and doggers country lane, I used the front brake slightly and slapped my palms straight into the road (ouch)

We were riding around with no helmets or kit on this dodgy road, and then off road in some lake thing in a residential area ( I know its stupid, there was nowhere we could have fun wiht them as theyre so fucking loud and annoying!)

Maybe even cannibalizing it for parts
Could just sell it on i guess, but i'm quite fond of it for some reason


But yeah, went off on a tangent slightly there...

Maybe I could pimp it up somehow and sell it lol

Sounds like you have the 49cc cag things. I'd be tempted to make up some sort of muffler for it. For no poke they have a stupid amount of noise.

They can be a laugh though, I'd be tempted to make a mini gp bike or something! (just the sticker scheme etc)

Theres a few go kart tracks that let them on. You'd have to use google to find them.

I owned a origami b1 replica. No one would believe it was about 9-10 bhp and would quite happily zoom up to about 55mph. Only 39cc aswell so you could pull start it with your two smallest fingers.


If you're going illegal with them, please quiten them down!

They are a modified petrol powered disc cutter, made to resemble a motorbike.

Remove rear wheel, replace with 10" grinding disc; return it to its original purpose!

My brother had a cheap mini moto a few years ago.

He got pulled by the police and as you might expect told not to ride it on the road. There is practically nowhere you can use them unless you own some land. We used to carry it down to a quiet part of the sea defences near my house and ride it as fast as we could over the rough concrete.

Fun but dodgy as heck .

If they're no-name Chinese imports, get a great a big mallet, smash them to pieces and throw them away as scrap. They are unsafe.

burn it?

Are they pitbikes or minimotos?

Normally irked by people suggesting such, but stick some pics up so we've got an idea of exactly what you've got.

Honda seems very unlikely.
Maybe they were made with some sort of Honda replica paintwork.

As I say, get some pictures up and people should be able to give a better answer .

Plenty of mini moto forums, get yourself over to an indoor/outdoor track, I've got a Liquid Cooled blata B1 (£1800 )

[Alpha-9]

[mysterious_rider]

Yeah that's a cag mini moto (chinese). They are only like 1bhp or something.


The really expensive ones can cost a lot. But they kick out like 25bhp or more.

Mines a pile of shit and barely starts and cuts out at random
I wasn't objecting that, of course yours is a proper one


I would hope so at that price anyway, plenty more than my 125


Wouldn't mind working on it somehow and getting it running smooth

You wanna make sure you arent running too much oil. (excessively smokey!)
But there's a good chance your carb needs a good clean.

[lllN30lll]

You should be running it 50:1 (When running in 25:1 )

So a 5 litre petrol can will have 100ml of oil in it.

NEVER tip the 100ml of oil directly into your petrol tank as it'll sink to the bottom unless your willing to give your bike a very vigorous shake and shrow it around. Much easier to mix it in the can

I'm 6'1 and 33 years old, ridden my mini moto around a few tracks, loved Hullavington (indoor hanger) You'll find plenty of adults do it (probably more than kids )

I probably do look a tit on it, then again, I look a tit on my road legal pit bike..... Then again, I look a tit on my GSXR 1000 too
