    New guy here... Hello!

    Wow! Where has this forum been my whole life? This is a fantastic site. I am in the Portland, OR. area. I used to have an old mini bike back in the early 80's. I cant remember what brand it could have been, but my brothers and i loved that damn thing. It was stolen and we never quite got...

    Mini bike newbie here...

    So I've been a mini bike enthusiast for many years and have also been an early motorbike fanatic forever. In my quest I found many awesome bikes and researched the parts used to build them in hopes to do my own version one day. I now have an early Villiers 147cc engine, Albion 3 speed gearbox...

    Problem here... you guys see anything wrong with my brakes?

    Manco Chopper band brake on the rear wheel doesn't stop worth a crap. I thought it might be the powder coated brake drum contaminating the brake band, but I disassembled it today, cleaned off all the powder coating from the drum surface and brake band material, put it all back together...

    Newbie here...

    Hey everybody, I'm new to this site, and new to minibiking, so I guess I'm really a newbie. Just bought my son(11 y.o.) a Baja Doodlebug. I guess they have a reputation for being a bit of a dog, with the 2.8 hp engine, but with my son being an inexperienced rider I think it will be fine...

    Need some help on ID. What's the difference between the BC1200 and BC1300 models. I've got two I've been working on for the past year and I'm having some Laser engraved plates made with model and serial numbers for each bike. I've just assumed these were both 1300s, but after researching...
