8 years pass and your video quality is still better then most today.

[@thormatt2963]

It's great to see a young guy building something instead of playing video games 24/7.

[@JuanMartinez-dy5un]

Everything's banned now including these bikes though

[@jetwolf8136]

true

[@SA-FormerlyCreamy]

So great to see a young fella doing something constructive and mechanical in this day and age. Well done Eric!

[@Filmpilot]

You will go along way, young man, not being afraid to get your hands dirty and with practical applications. I hope you have a wonderful journey in life!

[@TheGonzo1960]

I had one just like that when I was a kid and that was back in the 70's :) I guess if something works you don't change it. it was tons of fun to ride

[@designertjp-utube]

Really enjoyed your cool Mini Bike Video! Now I see what my Dad had to quickly do with the Mini bike my Parents got me back around 1969 or '70 (for Christmas or my B-Day - can't remember which). I'm sure my Mini probably came somewhat pre-assembled in a box, but I bet my Dad still had to mess with the wheels, cables, and 34 or 36 cents per gallon of gas. I could swear around frames 8:35 that was the first time I saw any Washers (preferably lock washers)! Happy to see someone doing physical activity instead of flipping the controls on an xBox.

[@joebacarella2829]

Nice build, great to see a younger kid getting into building stuff. I was looking at the power sports kit, the rascal $900 with no engine or clutch, yeah it seems a little beefier than this, the foot peg was a steel bar welded to the frame, which could easily be done to this before paint and you just pushed the rubber pegs on, and the brakes were a caliper and disc. But this is certainly all you need to have some fun and it`s around $500, it`s a great deal. Mini bikes were all over the place when I was a kid in the 70`s, $20 got you a decent running mini bike, it was nothing to get a mini bike in front of someones house on garbage night, all it neede was a motor. Great video, nice build Eric.

[@PAL20000]

Eric, great video. I laughed as you drove around the house on the grass. Keep up the good work.

[@petebovenzi8119]

I’m getting here late but nice job. The world needs more of people like you

[@SteveCarmichael]

That rocks Eric! I had one just like that when I was a kid. I wore a dirt trail around our back yard with it. So much fun.

[@trymeofficial276]

Super super helpful video! Putting mine together tonight and i would be lost without this video🔥

[@nathanreiter8132]

What website did you get yours off of

[@redstick1977]

I built one of these about six years ago. It never fails, every time I ride mine, someone either ask to buy it, or where did I get it.

[@liambegley]

Where did you buy your kit from? :)

[@shepherdricks55]

@@liambegley you can buy them from bmikarts.com and Azusas website

[@gunlover1955]

Way to go, I hope you are still riding it and having fun!

[@ragingbull5150]

great job man. awesome.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Wow that turned out awesome great video dude!

[@Jjj-zi9mw]

use the bmx trick and flip that frame when putting on wheels.

[@airmanfpv964]

+Jjj 543 i do that

[@me5768]

Great job young man now you need to put on it a chain guard to protect your leg and a kick stand. Keep up the good work.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

Or just dress responsibly. Pants and some decent boots but a chain and clutch guard is a good idea.

[@richardhutzezon671]

Smart kid. Lucky parents.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

7:08 Chain stretch. It happens with most every chain driven machine and is a fact of life but with motorcycles, the slack is taken up with the rear wheel, adjusted outward or to the rear.

[@mason55lawn]

I've been waiting for this all day!!!!

[@WeBuildStuff]

Cool build dude.

[@dbx1233]

That a really nice job. The bike looks great.

[@roachkid619]

You are very creative I love the things that you make keep up the projects!😁

[@electroctgon7008]

Remove ur profile pic...

[@guitaristinseattle]

My kit is on the way, great video!!

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

It's working! It's working!

[@duranamo4297]

I would lower that gear reduction so that it goes faster but doesn't accelerate as well, so you won't be doing wheelies every-time you give it the beans. Great video none the less :)

[@bigtods001]

Good for you, kid. Have fun and be safe!

[@lomsomesGarage]

Looks like a nice little bike

[@garrettnasewytewa9323]

Right on man! Yup it was a very good video. Thank u. I was waiting to see how u aligned the back Tire with the engine but with your video I think I can figure it out thanks again stay strong and be positive. PEACE 👊💥🕺✌️ PS I like you one man army

[@SrColon309]

Wonderful job my friend!

[@alhodge4051]

outstanding presentation young man.....well done...

[@gafarms8614]

Nice work young man!!!

[@shawnlauderdale6502]

That's a sweet build, great job!

[@crybabylocr4012]

Love the bike 😮

[@LifeHackVideo]

Hi friend very very amazing cool video 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@carlrball]

Very impressive explanation and build!

[@user-mr8pc6gb6l]

Super bike 🏍 👌

[@JoshOlsonDev]

"Maybe get a friend or something" ... Clamps and weights are your friends! ;-) Another idea for "next time": you could put the frame on its side, stack the bushing+wheel+bushing sandwich then pound the axle in from the top.

[@MRrwmac]

Basically I think you're basically going to be having a lot of basic fun! Might want to put some lock tight on all four of those front and rear axle bolts! I built a similar one many many moons ago and one of the bolts backed off due to vibration (and me not checking them before each and every ride) the axle came off and well...... Let's just say I'm lucky but I still have scars!

[@MRrwmac]

Ok, Yes they SHOULD....but please get in the habit of checking them (2 second look) before each ride. Have fun!

[@mw10259]

BASICALLY

[@pranaysavla1954]

MRrwmac can u come india and tell me how to make it

[@emmanuelherrera5370]

MRrwmac okiiio

[@DirkMade]

That thing is badass. Should have painted it ODG.

[@JohnW1711stock]

Looks like what I need for a pit bike. Cool.

[@Hjerte_Verke]

That is what the inventors said, "I need something to get around the race pits" and voila, the mini bike was born

[@skrillawarlock]

Awesome dude

[@JorgeRodriguez-ei2gi]

Hello young friend continue great informatio., greetings frim panama republic.

[@edwardallen6175]

awsome video keep it up.

[@mrbriancandoanything709]

My gas cap hits! I’m trying to finish it today! I’m stuck? Maybe get a small Honda gx200 gas cap?

[@mohamadabbasi2222]

Your amazing. u seem young but you know what ur doing

[@marcustvchannel5885]

pretty amazing project awesome well done

[@killingsquad7401]

that circle at the almost tge end its good for drifting

[@dr.rajasaurusandunclebonec6526]

Nice one!

[@landenvanrhee7065]

This is awesome. I have the money to buy a kit but my parents don’t let me Carrie out my dream to make one of these so they don’t let me buy it

[@robinsmeets7544]

Nice Job man 👌

[@tyclute1454]

Great job!

[@Techmatt167Official]

I would recommend a handlebar kill switch in case if the throttle ever gets stuck or if the brakes fail. Anyways nice video. I loved the series.

[@calebzapata9879]

How do u turn a mini bike off if u dont have one??

[@Hjerte_Verke]

@@calebzapata9879 Lots of engines have a kill switch but it is on the engine block (he uses the switch at 11:44) and hard to reach while the minibike speeds out of control. You would have to take your eyes off the road and look down to find it and if your hand slips, you're touching a very hot engine! Some older Briggs and Tecumseh engines have a kill switch on top of the engine that you press against the spark plug to stop the engine, it is just a metal tab. A cheap kill switch is tying a string or zip tie to the spark plug wire so you can pull the string to pull the plug wire off the tip of the plug and stop the spark. Don't touch the spark plug wire while the engine is running or you will get a nice shock.

[@JoeSmith-gp5dm]

But you left out how the engine gets installed?

[@j.b.j.b.7435]

Good job

[@flakeyboyz5664]

That was a nice video thanks.

[@johndrake2685]

Hi Eric. By chance, do you remember the bolt size and thread that screws into the Predator engine shaft? Also, if the bolt was standard or metric. Many thanks!

[@Butters204]

Cool video

[@randyneil6161]

Amazing

[@quietwyatt2004]

Nice job on the build now just finding a place to ride....are you in Michigan?

[@johnhammett5194]

Cool tutorial and nice looking bike. Looks fun. Only thing I would have done differently is put the back wheel on first...would have put the weight on the rear end and kept it from tipping forward. either way, you did a fine job. got any plans to hop it up?

[@gda882002]

great video

[@jacobmontes9169]

So helpful thanks👍🏽

[@crystalz2518]

sweet !

[@FogartyAvenue]

So cool

[@bennyrlove]

turn bike upside down then install the front wheel - the handlebars grounded out will help

[@sahibbhullar9838]

Good made bro I like it

[@Ryanfitzwater]

These things are pretty cool. If i made one id put a motor with clutch and all in so it could do a little better on the performance side... Plus wheelies duh

[@guilhermealvessilva7797]

Good afternoon friend. I really liked your video, your mini bike was very good. I'm from Brazil and as you know here things are a bit more delayed. Good without getting out of the subject, what's your name or what is the model of this type of wheels? ... that you used. 👏👏

[@FrankieOnWeedIn420p]

Guilherme Alves Silva they are called azusa tri star

[@FrankieOnWeedIn420p]

Guilherme Alves Silva 8 inch ones

[@ibdaffy]

I really appreciate this video. Great job all around. Also, your Mom is really cute!!!

[@adrianjrgensen3692]

I would totally buy this, if it was legal in Norway

[@shepherdricks55]

It’s not legal in the us ya know we just don’t care

[@SuperYtviewer]

Nice build, sounds like a lawn mower, seems to ride well. Be safe and put some kind of guard between leg and chain. Might want to look for an auto kill switch should you ever fall off. (Speaking from experience). Well done - Annie

[@johnsolimine1164]

I hope you do a follow up and show any improvements you make to your Azusa Mini Bike project. BTW: Go Kart, AKA Azusa Mfg. made the first mini bikes ever. The West Bend powered version was branded "Big Bear Scrambler."

[@aspmos]

You are fearless. In my country (Greece) this bike is called "matrakas". :)

[@harpnilla7728]

Where did you get that frame from?

[@nickthecarguy-channel]

Would this be big enough for a 5 10 person if it only had the five inch wheels? And did it come with instructions?

[@beavercreekbuilds]

Thank you

[@THEJOKER-ct7mh]

Alguien en cuarentena?

[@FueledBy.Passion]

I need the brake cable kit that goes with that same brake assembly. Where did you get it? Thx!!!

[@shanegrangrad8559]

Mum is helper .

[@joshuagrim5539]

How did you get the rear tire on? I’m having the same trouble I think you had.

[@davidtanner4154]

where is the grease

[@edwardallen6175]

install front wheel to forks then install fork to frame.

[@nkls287]

This ding is so cool

[@lucagirault7214]

Is there a specific size, not of the tooth ratio, but to attach it to the wheel?

[@rcvidzOshiit]

Did you have to drill holes on the motor plate or did the stick holes line up?

[@505racing3]

What's the biggest rim and tire I can run on this bike

[@calebzapata9879]

Hey do u think if i was doing a very similar build that the 6” tires would be fine. Im going for a shorter look.

[@beavercreekbuilds]

I have a question about your go kart build I am making one and was wondering how you get the bearings on the back wheels to stop spinning so that they will spin together THANKS!! Good video btw

[@talantasanbekov2372]

Nice

[@theguy1991]

I got the same kit and I'm having issues. the brake drum/sprocket rubbing against the bolt that's welded on. It's the bolt that the fork of the brake assembly hooks onto.

[@theguy1991]

I thought that was my problem. In the assembly guide it said the shortest bushing goes under the brake assembly rather than the middle one. So I did it the order you have it and it is still scraping. I feel like I should just saw that bolt down.

[@jeffrigi3285]

Good job dude, but it could be great if you have suspension as well on bike...

[@warrenpope3539]

I have the same Azusa bike and predictor 212 engine but I'm having trouble with lining the pre drilled holes line up because when I do I can't get the gas cap off! Any solution?

[@rcvidzOshiit]

Did it come with mounting bolts for the engine? Do you remember what size they are if not

[@carlchuppa4130]

Hi! Great build...great job! Was wondering if you knew what size bearings are in your wheels and the part number of the Tristar wheels

[@LucasOliveira-nr6ud]

nice!

[@charlottebarnes2604]

I am buying the same engine and I was wondering what clutch you used. I know it was 3/4" but how many teeth? Oh and by the way cool videos

[@robspear03]

10t

[@505racing3]

Where can I get a smaller sprocket for mine

[@elias2338]

Cool motorcycle! How fast is it?

[@dronistan9729]

how did you put the engine in the right place did you just slide it in and also when you bought 3542 did it come with the frame or do you have to buy the frame seperatly
