Is the Mega Moto 212 complete kit the best value mini bike build? In today's carsandcameras mini bike episode, we build and ride the Mega Moto 212 complete kit from Go Power Sports. The heavy duty Mega Moto 212 chassis meets the legendary performance and reliability of the Tillotson 212 stage 1 kit.

Charles is very well spoken and educated on mechanics, not taking nothing away from Ike or The Boss Man I’m just saying Charles is worth his weight in gold boys!

[@CMPLT_PLYZ]

Charles is worth the trophy karts weight in gold bro

[@shakyhandpictures2185]

Lol, Ike is the king, Charles is super talented but he’s younger with a decade less experience, as a team John lucked out!

[@jhaedtler]

The only down side I had with mine is the foot pegs are too short and don't stick out far enough. I cut mine off and added the foot peg mod from Go Power Sports for their other mini bike. It moves them forward and I welded the original foot pegs on farther out! Much nicer for an old fart like me! I'm 70!

That's awesome to see a older gentleman still out there and kicking it having fun on a mini bike! Keep on enjoying it just like us young folk 😁

I have a razor pocket mod that I stripped down and a leaf blower 2 stroke that fits nice under the seat, just need to take a weekend and make it all work but then I think I may as well put a 212 on the footboard and some pegs on the front tire since I don't think the leaf blower engine will ever get me rolling well enough for mini mayhem

[@gerardoduran7508]

how does that work . i dont think those engines have a lot of torque ( of course there is some exeptions there is some pretty big chainsaws out there).

[@jimbagle.3939]

I did this with a 72cc concrete saw motor. You're going to need a jack shaft and really focus on gearing to make it work. Chainsaws don't make power until 7, 8, x1000 rpms. Food for thought. I got to 31 mph with an 18" rear wheel.

[@glennlurman3514]

@@jimbagle.3939 they make a freewheeling front crank set so can take drive straight to crank then you can use bikes gearing and be pedal able no jackshaft required

i have a coleman CT200U-EX i got for 450 dollers brand new. tsc store wanted 999.00 for it but i got it cheaper because an idiot brought it back after taking it apart trying to do a modify youtube rigg on it hahaha. but ive welded all points to make it super strong and now its a logg dragger on my tree jobs. and what not. i think it has a 196cc engine. but the 2 shaft bearings that go from the engine to the jackshaft first go bad fast. sounds like sprocket teeth popping but isnt that. im sure yall dont even use the jackshaft in the center before the main wheel chain starts. but i do for my heavy pulls. im able to get 200+ pound loggs sliding fast enough for the clutch to not burn up and lock in just in time see. you have to understand slipping . thats all. ammount of rpms till it locks in see. everybody tried to tell me il burn it up. i laughed at them . and welp the bearings went first cause there chinese like the hole bike is basiclly these days. any way. love your videos and hope i can post my bike soon and show yall what ive built. im not done with it yet. its going to be a generator as well.

The rope trick works for the kick stand spring, but so will the tools for drum brake springs. The one that is shaped like a spoon is the one to use.

[@bakerrv]

You guys must not have watched GPS video, no tool needed to put the spring on.

I use a drum brake tool for those kickstand springs, works well most times.

I took mine to work on a buds car.He had no idea what it was.It's a shame so many have no clue about drum brakes anymore.Granted that a foot long 'plier' looking tool with the needed ends did look odd,but I used 1 when I was 11.

[@glasscitysocialclub]

I get strange looks from people when they see the tools in the drawer. Even had one ask if it was a metal meth pipe.

[@IosuamacaMhadaidh]

John would do well to learn motorcycle fundamentals. Stuff like using the rear brake to help balancing on low speed turns, progressively braking on the front, counter steering and counter balancing etc. It will help him gain some more confidence and riding more enjoyable.

[@CarsandCameras]

Yeah I lack confidence going fast on two wheels. Gotta practice

[@Dubsinsauce]

This is awesome. It's the first thing so far that you guys have featured that has gotten me on their website since I don't own any go karts or mini bikes yet. I can't get one now but maybe next spring, this looks like a super fun project.

[@tinygaragepowersports0122]

I owned one a few years ago. I really miss it. It was a stage one on the stock engine, which I felt was more than adequate. I'm sure it's leaps and bounds better with the Tillotson. I just recently sold my Coleman CT200U....it was a great bike, but the higher riding position and no suspension destroyed my back 2 weekends ago. The MM212 would not have hurt me like that. Sadly, the MM212 kit is out of my budget, so my kid and I found a neglected Suzuki QuadSport 250 stupid cheap, and we are restoring it and going through the engine together. No more shattered spines for this ol' boy! A tip about the MM212.....the stock V-tread tires are junk. Low traction, high wear. Kenda K290 Scorpions in either stock size, or 20x8-8 are supreme. Check out the reviews on them....they're long-wearing and work good on pavement too. The 20 inch tires will give you 2-3mph more top end, and even more of a nicer ride! Excellent and thorough video as always, boys!

[@wadetyler5056]

I appreciate the construction of this bike, my MB200 I bought is an okay mini bike but lacks a lot of the features on this bike for only $200 more than what I paid!

[@P8FPV]

Sweet minibike guys...Poor cross cart...bring it back 😉

[@craigbowley6783]

I literally just watched someone put a ghost engine on one of those a few hours ago with a aluminum flywheel and a juggernaut with a new ignition module to get rid of the rev limiter! It was killer!. I'm actually surprised you guys aren't doing that! The channel was MJ tech.

DID 428 chain, 60 tooth rear sprocket, and a #30 torque converter for it. I live in an area that resembles the area where your previous Gambler videos were shot, but I live in Canada though. Other bikes in my stable include a 83 CT70, a 73 Z50, a 1975 Suzuki RV90. I have a few RV 125s I'm going to steal the front end off so I can get front brakes on my BT2OOX.

[@jayracz701]

I got a compete frame from princess auto with chain drive for 150 bucks. Coleman DB 200 clone. No front brake no jack shaft no engine. Was a return on clearance. It was missing a seat and the chain guard. I got two seats from go power sports. It was a good deal. But the shipping and boarder fees made it cost almost as much as the frame. Lol. I got a electric start 212 engine a few months later at princess auto too for 150 bucks. Gotta get it all together in a few days. Summer fast approaching. Going to rip up the logging roads. Thinking about getting the front brake kit from go power sports. Just wish they had a better shipping option for over the border…….

[@buckykattguitar]

As a longtime factory certified BMW and Triumph tech...those lines on the swing arm are often....usually....not accurate. Best way to align the rear axle is by eyeballing or using a laser level on the chain and sprocket.

That looks to be a great kit. Now the big where do start cutting to make it a rear full suspension bike.

[@francispineault9045]

Hey guys, by seeing your ability to build bikes and gokarts, I think you should try to make yourselves a shift gokart but with an homemade clutch and gearbox. I think it could be great but everyone has their opinion on this idea. Anyway, awesome video on this mini bike I love it. 🤘

My son bought a mega Moto 212 a month ago. We bolted a stock Ghost Engine on it and broke the motor mount(engine plate)welds in less than 2 weeks. It's at the welder right now getting reinforced because most of the welds didn't have penetration. So I'm not sure about how well built these things are. My suggestion is to have it looked over by a welder before you even start putting it together. I can't blame go Powersports for how it arrived to the house but let's just say it went through hell and we had a lot of touch-ups before we even got started.

@20:16, My cousins and their dad sound like folks living East of the Appalachians from Asheville, NC with the accent that they have. I'm from South of the Eastern Shore in Virginia, I've never had an ear for it and often I've had trouble with communicating with them and early on I've chosen to learn to speak "properly" so that no one has trouble with communicating with me. This may seem controversial, but the thing really about the Southern accent to my understanding of how things worked then from my History Requirement in college is from the plantation owner's kids learning to speak from slaves who worked in the house taking care of them as they were learning to read and write the language themselves at the same time.
