We Built the World's First Longitudinal Engine Mini Bike | Budget Big Block Briggs!

Welcome to the Sidewinder mini bike build! We took an 11 horsepower Briggs and Stratton Industrial engine and jammed it in a small mini bike frame. We decided that engine would fit much better if we rotated it 90 degrees counter clockwise in the frame, so that the crankshaft is facing the rear tire. In order to send power to the rear wheel, we used a 90 degree PTO box, aka "Magic Box" as we call it. It's not quite finished, but this budget big block mini bike is turning out awesome!

Yes, except if we lose a chain, we lose the brake. We're gonna do our best to put it on the axle.

Dude is just a hack. Worst thing this channel has ever done is put that guy on camera. I’ve been around since their 3rd video and am close to unsubbing over this guy. This has always been the Ike and John show, keep anyone else off camera.

[@handyhippie6548]

ike as narrator and supervisior, and charles as labor and test pilot works really well. i guess that makes john management. but you can hear the sad in ike's voice from wanting to be wrenching, rather than watching. now he knows how we feel.

[@orionbennett7343]

This build reminds me of a build a friend of mine did .... way back in 1965. He home built a mini bike frame out of angle steel (L shape). He couldn't afford a vertical Briggs motor, so he bought a lawn mower and stole the engine off of it, mounted with the shaft facing the ground. His magic box, was a gear box off an old washing machine ... that actually had a lever so as to be able to switch direction ... so he had reverse on his mini bike. While he was building that, I bought a rusted mini bike frame, had a vertical Briggs motor, but couldn't afford a centrifugal clutch with chain drive ... so I bought a belt drive ... fashioned a jack shaft, so as to go from belt on motor and jack shaft, to gear on jack shaft and rear wheel. I had a low top end, but could have pulled a truck with it ... my buddy could have driven completely in reverse if he could have kept the balance.

[@ianphilip6281]

I've got a horizontal shaft briggs I was going to do something like this with. Give my son a proper education as he didn't care about the tuning part a year ago. Now he's older and many times more curious!

[@PCXMODSGR]

I think that this build went really well really proper good fit for the components proper wiring ! I think because someone was missing from filming!

[@joshuawilliams4658]

We love Charles! Keep him around he may bring you good luck and you may learn something from him.

[@keithmason9342]

Man, Charles fits right in with you guys! He is an animal with fabrication. You come up with an idea and he will make it happen. Great build and a great solution to an oversized and overpowered big block mini bike build. Who'd a thunk it, but it'll be fine.

[@jTone40]

Adding Charles to the team is a great addition. What a outstanding and creative twist to engineering a mini bike.

[@MarkMarvin1983]

I was wondering if an engine could be turned like that!! Thank you for showing me that it's possible.

I had a Tule Tropper back in the 80s that was set up like that! Had a 7 horsepower Briggs and a two speed gearbox! That thing would go through mud and snow like a mad dog! Awesome build guys!

[@crazymower4343]

i have one of these 11hps fabulous engine! have it in my mud mower and it rips. i put a 30 mm carb on it and re jet im not afraid to hold it wide open at all. ive ran one of these with the oil dipper broken for 6 months and it locked up multiple times before it lost too much compression also if you can find a 12 hp vertical briggs with a racing cam you can put it in that engine. you guys are my goto channel for builds anymore because everyone else is doing too much with predators, i like how you guys have different engine brands and briggs is my all time favorite. i also love your basic builds like this it helps connect more between other builders that cant really have all the bells and whistles and shows people you can do more with what you do have! thanks for great videos!

Build one with a vertical shaft mower. Everyone’s got one of those. Do a series where you turn an old mower into a rideable bike. You’re welcome. Just mention me in the credits.

[@winnerwinnerchickendinner8695]

I believe you would do a similar design to this only elevating the engine so thst the shaft on the bottom could go to the pto that would simply be turned up.
