You very seldom hear any discussion about these engines (much less ever see one in person), and it got me thinking... Was the 4 HP Briggs used as original equipment on any minibikes or karts? Of course the use of the 3 HP and 5 Hp Briggs is legendary, but why not the 4 HP? My (preliminary)...

Lots of them came with the rear-mounted tanks with the "Pulsa-Jet" (diaphragm) carb. Did any come from the factory with the front-mounted tank and "Flo-Jet" (float bowl) carb? Which ones were they? Michael

I know that some Rupp, Fox, and Speedway bikes had engines mounted at an angle. Were there any other brands that did this? Michael

I see pictures from time to time of home made "minibikes". I thought I would start a thread where we can post our creations. I wish I had pictures of all the stuff I built back in the 60's. I, and some friends, would garbage pick old bikes, lawn mowers, dryers etc. Many times I would take a...

saw a minibike for sale that listed all the "restoration" on the bike trying to justify a $4000 price price tag. i firmly believe that the list represented every possible thing that could be done to lessen the value of the bike. $4000 mini's, $3000 trikes, i don't know, i may be in the...

Passing out candy tonight, I had my Gilson Wide Body at the curb lit-up w/neon green strobe. Some guy asked about it and then told me that he and another fellow are starting to build minibikes under the Cushman name in Gardena, CA. I think scooters when I think Cushman but not full-on minis...

The title explains it. I'm in to mini bikes after my friend got one and I'm totally hyped. I'm just not sure where to get started. I read a few other threads and I'm looking to just start with something cheaper and add to it later on. I found a Motovox MBX10 on craigslist for a good price but it...

Craigslist Detroit 4 MiniBikes for sale 3x Boonie bikes 1 Bonanza

This is listed as an all original 1971 ARCO easy rider, but it has a later model Tecumseh. It does appear to be an actual minibike engine so I'm hoping he just has the year wrong. All original 75 or 76 ARCO ? (Other than the chinese carburetor.) I haven't seen it in person.

Just picked up these 3 mini bike frames from a garage sale... 2 of them are exactly the same frames. No idea what they are. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
