Coleman CT200U-EX Review & Ride

[@thedude7726]

Me and my beat friend just picked up 2 of these off marketplace. Cant wait for the snow to melt so we can rip around. We put a predidtor 212 on one with a Cheap e bay tourque converter and govoner delete, and they are 100% different bikes now.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yeah I've been waiting for it to warm up to do that to mine. Can't make videos of them right now because my yard is soup.

[@shootinnscootin5545]

Just bought one on Saturday. Fun little bike!

[@VashVenture]

Love mine! Can't wait to install my torque converter!

[@DeceptionWho]

I’m very new, ordered mine today! What’s a torque converter????

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

It is a belt and pulley drive system that replaces the chain and sprocket drive system that these come with. It allows you to take off faster from a stop and gives higher top speed without removing the throttle stop or governer (which I have videos on). The disadvantage is that the belts wear out and need replaced, slip like hell when wet meaning you can't really run it off road, and it keeps the engine at a constant rpm which, personally, is annoying to me. But soon I will be installing one on the channel just to compare it to the chain and sprocket system they come with.

@@BuckeyeBallistics `thanks for the breakdown, means alot!

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Welcome

[@wowlol5302]

Great review, I’m getting one soon

[@frios011]

I fail to understand why so many people who own these, focus on the negative rather than the positives on these little bikes. It’s not a real motorcycle, it’s cheap,and it made for fun. If you want more performance get a real dirt bike! For what it is, it’s more than enough to have fun on!

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Maybe because it's a whole bunch of negatives and only one positive- that it's *kinda* fun. And I was only stating facts in the video- so if you have a problem with that then I'd have to say you're definately being biased and I am not. And I didn't even get to how the things literally fall apart after only riding them for a few hours. I don't recall the title of the video being "The Positives of Owning a Minibike" (which would be a VERY short list), though I supposed a more accurate title (to appease you) would have been "A Dirt Bike Riders Opinion of a Minibike". And you mention how they're "cheap." These things are $700-$800 new now. I could buy an old 90's Honda XR100 for that which would be 100x more fun, 100x faster, 100x more capable, and 100x better built (had one, payed $450 for it just a few years prior). If you've ridden dirtbikes more than a few time then no, there aren't really any positives to these things- not when they're the same price as a bulletproof xr100. Literally everything about them sucks compared to an old xr100 and they are the same price...

[@glenhowell7594]

Do you make a 22x7x8 tire for Coleman ctu200ex

[@BrickzSTM]

Is there an alternative bike with similar specs and frame etc? I've been looking for one for several months. I can't buy this in Europe/Germany over the normal sites because they don't offer international shipping and I can't find it on Ebay or Amazon etc...

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Try Trailmaster and X-Pro bikes

[@BrickzSTM]

@@BuckeyeBallistics thank you! Ill try it out

maaaan! i havent seen a mini bike since i was a kid! pops wouldnt let me get one.....i would drool over them!!! sooo awesome! heh, heh..you almost fucked yourself up on that wheelie! lmfao! ya big kid!!!

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yep, that's me- manchild. Never gonna grow up! I bough these to ride around with my kids but I really want to get a nice dirtbike. I have an atv but I want it all lol.

[@bangsdagong]

@@BuckeyeBallistics and you shall have it all!! i ride a suzuki vstrom 650.....everyday...and at 53...i refuse to grow up!!! your kids gotta luv the mini bikes!!! i recommend a suzuki drz 400....its killer on and off road!!! enjoy!!!!!

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yeah those are good bikes; used to ride a Ninja 500 myself. If I can ever get this channel big enough to fund everything, I'll have a ton of bikes, on and off road- I would love to do some retro builds. I would even like to get a couple 3 wheelers cause I never had one. Never had a go-kart either. Like I said, I want em all lol.

[@bangsdagong]

@@BuckeyeBallistics drive yourself crazy and check out ever rides channel. good with a cold beer!!! your channel will keep growing!! muscle cars, mini bikes, fireworks, guns, and motorcycles coming....thats merica!!!!!

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Ive got the same mini bike i weigh about the same as you i can tell you that that bike doesnt have any problem going up a hill i have a video on my channel where i go up a much longer grade than you got there without any problem Edit after seeing you trying to go up that hill i have to wonder is your clutch slipping or defective I dont have that problem

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

My bt200x does the same thing. I'm assuming it's because I'm trying to do it from a stop, instead of already moving. I know if I got a run for it that it would go up that grade and for a while. But should you have to stop on the hill and then get going again, you're screwed lol.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

@@BuckeyeBallistics my coleman doesnt do that i may be considerably lighter than you though i weigh about 135 lbs

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

In your first comment you said you weighed about the same as me. And yeah no you don't lol- I was 220 in this video. So yes, that's definatley why you can get up those hills and I can't.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

@@BuckeyeBallistics i thought your video said you weighed 130 i may have mis read it seems that wasnt in screen long i dont think ill be modding my bike because in my area where i ride it would be foolish to do over 10 -12 mph and power isnt an issue so i cant justify any power adders hope you check out my channel i got all sorts of videos Covering a variety of different things

Maybe with a sproket change it would get up and go with you on it, or get a pitbike.

375lbs and rides fine

Just good for some fun.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Cheap fun ($500)

[@karen_boomer8603]

@@BuckeyeBallistics what ? Only 500 bucks they are 699 now 😑

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yeah I saw that. Some places want $800+ for them. Ridiculous. They were worth it for $500 brand new, but for $700-$800 I'd just spend a couple hundred more and get a used dirtbike from one of the big 4 (Honda, Kaw, Yam, Suz).

[@Sheridantank]

That looks pretty zippy for 220lbs on it.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

Yeah honestly this would have all the power a 150lb rider would need for anything it is capable of traversing. Maybe with the throttle stop screw completely removed, the same could be said for a 200lb rider. Will find out soon...

[@Sheridantank]

@@BuckeyeBallistics Those dang throttle stop screws. Who needs those

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

@@Sheridantank Little kids I guess, and it keeps the engine from blowing from improper break in because most get on em and just go full throttle almost immediately. They used to be spring mounted and you would just simply back them out as much as you desired. Now they are tack welded in place so you have to cut them out. Maybe there is some law or something that keeps them safe from lawsuits by governing power and top speed or something like that, not sure. Either way, it only takes 10 seconds to remove it, so no big deal. The governer is a different story, but at least that serves the purpose of not allowing the engine to over rev.

[@Sheridantank]

@@BuckeyeBallistics Its easy to be reckless with small motors and abuse them without thinking about it

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

@@Sheridantank Most people don't grasp the concept of a break in period. To be fair, dealers never tell them. People buy new cars and hot rod them immediately, dealer never tells them take it easy for 500 miles. Even tires and brakes on cars have a break in period, but shops never tell you when you get new tires or brakes to be easy on them for the first few drives for longevity.
