Test Ride - 3/4 Mini Chopper - Resurrection 4

UPDATE 2015-12-29: The bike and the other one I had like it was sold back in January 2013. Sorry to everyone that wants to buy them from me, but they are long gone. I got them from an company in Texas back in 2007. I don't have their contact information or website address, and they are no longer in business anymore. I paid a reasonable price (but I will not discuss finances and numbers on here, so please don't ask.)
I keep getting asked if I can build something like this custom, and the answer is YES! But if you want me to build something like it for you (better than the original chinese junk this bike was built from) then send me a private message and lets discuss your budget. Thanks!
This bike starts and runs really well, I didn't run it for long or leave it on charge for long enough so the battery ran low but I charged it back up and this machine was eager to go!
Diemuzi helped me using my camcorder, as well as took a ride up and down the street on my mini chopper after I bump-started it down the driveway,

I can not find exhaust or wiring or anything for this motor. Picked one up for a couple hundred but can’t get it going cause I can’t find any info on it

[@DuckmanCycles]

I appreciate it! Thanks for the comment!

[@DuckmanCycles]

My neighbors make more noise than I do... I'm the quiet one, haha!

[@John-hv5sx]

Is it custom built?

[@miguelcardenas4923]

Where can I get the front tire, I can’t find it anywhere please help out guys

[@boredmud]

i love the disclaimer man, slick lil chopper, sounds sweet and looks like it could really move.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Those HF Predator engines are set up like lawnmower and go-kart engines, parts are pretty easy to get and its very simple especially if its your first time building something. I don't have anything like that though, as this chopper actually has a real dirtbike-like engine more like that of a Honda XR200. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

This one is street legal, so yes! I drive it to work sometimes.

[@ralstonalvidrez1055]

I have one. I just don’t know what type of motor and stuff it needs so I plan on taking it to a mechanic shop and getting it fixed and working

[@desertfoxxx98]

Ride.

[@paulypoo66]

...I like it... ...nice sound, not too loud yet appealing and cautionary... ...very cool.,.will be looking into these.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Yeah, this bike was fun.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Heh, I got this on my 30th birthday. I wanted something different than the other boring 7 bikes in the garage. Its been a lot of fun since! :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks man! Hopefully that Puch will get some work in the near future!

[@donworrehbowmeh695]

Love mini choppers such fun little toys

[@DuckmanCycles]

This one was fun! The engine is still here, the rest of it as long since been retired, but a quick search for DoobleBastard and you'll see where the engine went! Thanks so much for the comment!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks! It was a fun ride!

[@trremanden3489]

Sounds great, looks great!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you!

[@DuckmanCycles]

45º rake, very stable at high speeds, low speeds, too. However it is a little harder to steer very tight turns at low speed as it requires applying a little strength that most people aren't used to.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Its a whole lot of fun, too! :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

Maintenance on this thing from when it was all stock was horrendous. I've since replaced or properly repaired all the junk items and now it runs well, and has been reliable for a couple years without problems.

[@DuckmanCycles]

It was definitely a good sounding bike!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks! It was a fun machine!

[@williamsimmons2864]

I know this video is old but my god i love that bike. I need something like that to take on base during drill just to turn heads. Awesome video

[@DuckmanCycles]

It's quite noisy lol :-)

[@kjade3]

They'll all think you're lame buying a bike just for attention. If you get a bike get it for you

[@CaptainPantys]

Where can I get one Lol that dinky little thing looks like a lot of fun.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Yep! Its that season again, time to break it out for more shenanigans!

[@DuckmanCycles]

No pointers I can give you other than ignore anyone else's advice. I had two of these bikes purchased at the same time and neither one of them had the same wiring schematic. Both of them had severe wiring issues too, lots of stuff didn't work right (clutch lever turns brake light on) and brake lever had no wiring at all. I had to gut them and reconnect and re-route a lot of things, so if you're going to hook up new lights, run them directly off the battery with a fuse and do it all custom.

[@sawreh86]

That’s gotta piss of the neighbors 😂

[@DuckmanCycles]

Nope, they all got free rides!

[@seva4369]

Sick, I was thinking of building my own dirtbike, i have a couple of 125's and 250's laying around the garage.... now i need a frame :///.. anyways gr8 bike !

[@DuckmanCycles]

Seva Symonenko Do it! :-D

[@Evilkamm]

Yooo that sound is just a beast😂

[@DuckmanCycles]

A little beast indeed!

[@vtwinbreed]

This thing is still bad ass for a little bike!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Yessss

[@braydenallen3432]

the chopper is really cool

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you!

[@devinfulton673]

I wish I had one of those too they fun to Ride on

[@Dal_Fi]

Sick Duckman! I got a Snap on tools chopper. Same size as this one!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Interesting, I would like to see that

[@DuckmanCycles]

In the state of Florida at the time of registering it, it sure was!

[@brandonlantier]

Damn man thats a nice bike! I been looking around for something just like it, I have dwarfism and am 4'2 so its hard to find a bike I can put on the street legally, would love to tool around town on one of those!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Too bad you weren't around when I had this, I would have let you ride it we could have made some videos together!

[@ericmartin6657]

Sounds kind of like a badass Harley

[@DuckmanCycles]

Certainly does have an aggressive sound, I still have this engine but now it's on a kids Doodlebug. It goes way too fast LOL

[@DuckmanCycles]

ALREADY SOLD!!! But it sure was a fun time while it lasted. :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks for the subby. My DoodleBastard has the same engine and should sound the same. I should have that together sometime in the future. :-D

[@DuckmanCycles]

Swap that motor, sounds fun! You probably won't notice much difference in performance, but the 200cc motor that comes on these things has a unique dual exhaust port giving the exhaust a dual-note low-tone rumble which you won't get out of the 250. I think its a much better sound!

[@larrytemen4789]

But it’s damn near impossible to find parts for or exhaust. Hence why on on this video 12years later looking for ANY info at all.

[@TheKingben46]

Got a 110cc mini chopper don't know how to ride it at allllll can you make a tutorial on how to switch gears and all that good stuff

[@alexhoughton6201]

I like your mini chopper because it's loud and I like his loud and I was to have a roommate who had a really loud bike and I loved it

[@DuckmanCycles]

Its a fun bike! I sold the bike, but the engine came back some time ago. The loud engine can be found on the Doodlebastard that I built!

[@DuckmanCycles]

The front tire is the same size as some scooters, that should help you find one. Check your local scooter dealers for a similar size. It doesn't have to be exact, just needs to fit a 15 inch rim.

[@sashaacovski2789]

Cool ass bike bro!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you!

[@sashaacovski2789]

@@DuckmanCycles your welcome!

[@DuckmanCycles]

@cj15941 The frame actually came with the engine and the rest of the bike. Sounds like an interesting project, especially with the water-cooled aspect of it. Make sure to get some video up on of it getting built and stuff!

[@marshallflike7882]

I bought one from my neighbor for $250. I had to mow their lawn to, but still a great steal!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Marshall Flike Good find! I'd take it, too! :-D

[@richprint29]

Looks like fun guys.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks !

[@frankstera.9952]

i have a 49cc mini chopper i ask how do i get the front wheel to extend and also do they break down if you usee to go to work and back like 6 miles every day use

[@primedreamer7029]

That is freekin awesome!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you much, but now it's sold!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Did the starter break? I know the electric starter clutch in the engine were known for having issues.

[@cj15941]

Oh, I was hoping it was something you ordered or found or built so I didn't have to go through a full fabrication process. Guess I'll just throw the motor in my kart lol

[@DuckmanCycles]

😁👍🏻

[@DuckmanCycles]

I live in Florida, it was street legal here, but I can't answer for California. Check with your local law enforcement and DMV for a proper answer. Hope that helps!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Haha, yep! EXPLODE! I consedered a Honda Shadow 750 engine, too. but it was just too big. I even considered an SV650 engine that I had... all of which just seemed like a bad idea, lol. Yeah, like I said in the other post, heads may be swappable.

[@Jennifergagnon88]

Ahhh your blue car!!! I miss that car!!!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Its still here!

[@willieobermann4915]

Cool bike

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks Willie, this thing is a lot of fun!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Sure you can! :)

[@timfarmer648]

Super cool.

[@DuckmanCycles]

thank you!

[@sebastianqueti108]

hermosa la moto amigo..genial..

[@DuckmanCycles]

Gracias! :-D

[@DuckmanCycles]

Sold, January 2013!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Hi, thanks for the comment! What do you mean by change gears, do you mean replace them, or how to shift between them when riding? Help me understand and I'll see what I can do about making such a video.

[@travispotter1187]

I'm going to save my money and get me for Christmas.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Did you get one? :)

[@lynnbateman7408]

Sounds good

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you very much

[@DuckmanCycles]

No idea on the battery, actually. Mine had a battery in it from an APC battery backup for a computer. So did my friend's though, so I dunno, haha. I put a lawnmower battery into mine, though I am uncertain what model it is. I also had major wiring issues when it was new (for example the brake light came on when squeezing clutch lever.) I traced and re-situated all wiring properly.

[@DuckmanCycles]

There's no way to fall down when you're already that low to the ground. :-P

[@sanesaint8725]

I will give you 1150

[@3D7E]

The bike is beautiful. ¿How much? weight? motor? maintenance is easy? Im live in Lima - Perú and Also I have friends in California, thanks... good job.

[@lonewolfr86]

hey like the video, was looking to build one myself for the first time, have a less raked chopper frame than yours but was wondering what you used for a motor ect.

[@DuckmanCycles]

lonewolfr86 I bought the bike as you see it, I just customized it highly. But its a Lifan LF200 engine if that helps you.

[@DuckmanCycles]

@boredmud Yeah, it sounds great and it hauls pretty good for a little motor!

[@teamj4457]

Hey What's Good Huge Fan I Love Your Videos They Are So Sick

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you!

[@kennethsanchez2684]

hi, i bought a mini chopper the other day. i put a 110cc head. i know you sold your mini chopper years ago but wanted to ask. Do these have title? and what is an average price to resale my mini chopper.

[@DuckmanCycles]

The motor is a Lifan 200cc, the frame came with it when bought. The name was on the title, but it was lengthy and chinese. I couldn't say it again if you asked me. Since its sold I don't have the title, so sorry for lack of info! :)

[@wackytheshaggy]

Thanks for the info.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you!

[@DuckmanCycles]

The rear fender came off of ebay about 4 years ago. Can't tell you much anymore other than that. Try doing a search there. Lemme know what you find, I'll tell you if it will work! :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

Come have a ride in it!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Heh, they actually make more noise than I do, haha. :)

[@edwinar7076]

hey man where do you find forks ? i need new ones for a mini chopper i picked up .can you please help. you seem to get your hands on great parts. thanks in advance

[@DuckmanCycles]

Well... ebay for almost everything always. Take some measurements and start searching. Any good seller will usually publish the sizes of things, otherwise start googling for aftermarket or OEM parts from another brand that you think might fit, get measurements then MAKE IT WORK! :-D Seriously, thats how I do it. Thanks for the comment!

[@RickSuaz]

Omg i had never seen one of these... I would definitely get one. Don't care about the size I'm on a choppa lol

[@DuckmanCycles]

It was pretty fun!

[@DuckmanCycles]

No idea, but there is a possibility the head can be swapped between all of them. You may have to do a little research in the department. Just be sure you don't get one of the dual overhead cam engines, the top end on those are a completely different animal.

[@DuckmanCycles]

That depends on the bike, but the one in this video is a 200cc and tops out over 70mph.

[@vtwinbreed]

Choppa Choppa Choppa!

[@DuckmanCycles]

I have one in the works, stay tuned.

[@zackball8319]

Looking to maybe build one this size, is there anyway you would know how I could find a frame this size?

[@DuckmanCycles]

This was an oddball, its not really a mini, and not full sized. There isn't much else like it. Perhaps look for one of these bikes, or you'll have to build your own frame! :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

The guy I sold them to (I had the blue one in the video, and an orange one) might be looking to sell them again if you're actually interested. I could put you in touch with him. Send me a private message if interested.

[@SacredSocietyAP]

Yes, there are plenty of companies that sell full size 50cc bikes.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Yes, but this one's not 50cc :-)

[@MrDioish]

Haha, I actually played with sticking an R1 motor in it, had one on hand very cheap lol, but it would have been so not right to do :D And I guess frame's gonna burst first ride haha.. But you got me thinking, a new 250cc, and drill the old top up maybe, or just a new 200 black, with the old top could do, then you'll keep the dual. Assuming their the same, but sure do looks like it. Argh, giving this hobby to many thoughts haha.. Cheers m8 :D go ride it when I can't yet haha

[@DuckmanCycles]

Not much room in that frame! 😁👍🏻

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks!

[@kotacolestock]

Are they decent for getting around small town areas. Looking to get one but not totally sold on one yet

[@DuckmanCycles]

Sure, as long as you know how to work on them.

[@CustomJ]

Sweet!

[@sticks1990]

Where can I get a chopper like this duck man!?!

[@Naferner_Said]

I have a resurrection 4 I’m building. It’s got a 200cc ohv motor. I’ll be throwing a supercharger on 😂

[@DuckmanCycles]

Oooooh! I hope you're making videos! I want to see this!

[@DuckmanCycles]

I sold this one and another one just like it for $1200. New, however, they cost more than double that individually once you get done with all the shipping taxes and other nonsense./ After I resprocketed it for higher speed I was passing cars on the interstate. The speedometer isn't accurate but I'd say I was going 75 to 80mph topped out.

[@kjade3]

I'd be scared to ride it on the highway because it's so small😅

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks! :)

[@wackytheshaggy]

Sweet bike! What is the angle on that fork when measured from the ground? is it still stable at high speeds? Or at low speeds?

[@DuckmanCycles]

Too far raked, it actually rode pretty bad!

[@DuckmanCycles]

I can't tell you where to buy one, but I am pretty sure they stopped making them. There are similiar bikes now that have better suspension and a higher ride height making them more enjoyable. Anyways, I think you saw my video and comment over on my other channel, and unless you know how to work on bikes, I don't know if this one would be the best for you.

[@sorryitsold7426]

Very COOL:)

[@Biokemist-o3k]

Glenn, I have no idea why YT served up an 11 year old video but it is a way cool video. The chopper is super cool also. Did I hear you say that you just sold it recently?

[@DuckmanCycles]

This video shows the engine that is currently in the Doodlebastard. I'm not sure where you heard me say that I sold it recently.... I sold this thing MANY YEARS AGO! But the engine came back to me.... long story. But its here!

[@Biokemist-o3k]

@@DuckmanCycles Really awesome. You were talking about it while you were working on the doodlebastard a couple weeks ago. I believe it was just a passing statement that you sold it a while ago.Tpomorrow is going to be 70 degrees up here is cold Northeast. I am stoked to be outside working on projects.

[@niaa2655]

I have a 2003 Johhny Pag 4 stroke 100cc bike. Whats the highest cc engine I could put inside? Ive checked but cant find a thing

[@DuckmanCycles]

That would depend on your skill, and the size of your wallet. There really is no limit if its done correctly!

[@DuckmanCycles]

What parts do you need?

[@JustSomeGuyNotAnAlien]

Why did these disappear? I have been looking all over and found 1 that is 50cc and one that a dealer never sold that is 100cc. I really want one

[@DuckmanCycles]

Probably because they're mostly built out of junk. The engines aren't too bad though but the rest of the bike I can't say the same for. I had a million problems with this one and it took me a long time to sort them all out.... and I bought the damn thing brand new LOL

[@DuckmanCycles]

You can buy this one. I have two just like it, will sell both for package deal. Retail they were going for about $2000 to $3000 or so, plus then the cost to rebuild all the parts that break (don't replace them with the same crap!) the first day you have it, lol. For the pair I'll ask less than the cost of one. Need more room in garage!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikebirli1922]

Do you know where I can get any parts for one of these choppers? Thank you!

[@DuckmanCycles]

For the choppers, no. As I said in the video description I made better things fit. The engines are pretty common though, and you can find most engine parts on amazon or most minibike websites.
