cheefta mini bike questions

[5horsebriggs]

well it looks like im getting a cheeftah:thumbsup: thanks phil! so im wondering what size axles, tires, and all that stuff, what engine did they come stock with? are the strong bikes, im getting a hardtail model that has a spring on the fork bolt

 

[5horsebriggs]

guessing that it uses5/8th axle bolts:shrug:

5/8 axles...they came with 4'',5'',6'' wheels(depending on model)...they came with Clinton motors mainly and some Tecs. They are 1'' tubing and pretty stout frame that can take a beating.

Thats great , is the 5 going on it ? Sounds like just a frame .

When running the Briggs 5hp on those frames...the biggest tire you can run is on the 4'' rim....or a small tire 5'' rim. Just a heads up

Neither, It is the bike in the ad. Earlier than the brochure showing those models.
