Mini Bikes vs. the Rockies | TrailMaster MB200 x Hurricane x Full Suspension Mega Moto Shootout!

[@CarsandCameras]

Always fun to get out and ride! It's hard to believe how far mini bikes have come since the old rigid chassis designs!

[@bradjohnson5643]

where did you go. Id love to see you guys come down to sowthwest colorado in the san juan mountains

[@creativematthew]

Where is this located?

[@mkuhlman77]

The Mega Moto is a great bike just to small platform for my liking. I'm glad I bought my MB200 when I did. Prices have gone up a lot.

[@darellsimons2687]

I'm coming to see you guys 1 day ill call first tho

[@mlindsay527]

Take the time to jet those bikes properly, makes all the difference in the world! Look into adjustable jets for the stock carbs. Cost a few bucks, but sure are nice for changing conditions. GPS should carry them if they don’t!

[@colbypenman9811]

Absolutely love these kind of videos, getting out and playing with the toys you spend so much time working on. Absolutely fantastic, keep it up guys

[@jameshealy4594]

I once rode a GSX-R 1000 that had like two teeth off the front sprocket and plus four on the rear, that thing was vertical more often than a flagpole. It's amazing what gearing can do, I imagine Ike would have completely disappeared if he had the same sprocket. Cheers fellas.

[@bensymington5550]

Cars and cameras gotta love it

[@kevinsellsit5584]

Ike "It's a 4L60" ROFL I think John said it best with "It's a good time to be into minibikes". The Gas charged shocks must be a huge improvement over the standard coil-overs with little more than rubber to dampen the spring oscillation. Looks like lots of fun!

[@themotorfreak1]

good old 4lslippieE hahahaha

[@F5Tornado44]

Your 3 KX 80's would kick the crap out of all these mini bikes in every category. Suspension, gearing, power, handling, ergonomics, mileage, speed, safety, ground clearance, traction, brakes, reliability, looks, and overall enjoyment. Minibikes are great when you're new at off roading, or a little kid, but eventually, you grow out of them (well, most do).

[@toyyoda3710]

@@TCGplayroom These guys like the lawn mower technology and kind of center the channel around that... I suggested many years back of doing an electric cart and they responded "Did that already" I guess in one of the first videos they used a car battery and an old car starter motor and decided it was just too weak ... i really meant something more along the lines of a Prius motor and some modern Li batteries

[@F5Tornado44]

@@TCGplayroom Yup, I guess you gotta prove you're worth the sponsors money they put into you.

[@billwilliamson9842]

@@F5Tornado44 duh durrr a dirtbike would beat these bikes on every level, well no spit lol Also, where will you find a new dirt bike for the price of these new mini bikes? some people like to build their own and folks like you need to buy somethin already done because you lack the skills needed and obviously the brain power. did eric at dudz send you 3 trolls over? sales must be that bad for them lol

[@F5Tornado44]

@@toyyoda3710 A long time ago, when these guys were first starting out, they were fumbling with many mistakes that were borderline dangerous for them. Being a welder/fabricator and retired pro ATV racer myself, I tried giving them several suggestions. You know what their response was? (Yeah, they used to respond to people) It was "It'll be fine". My last suggestion to these guys was "Stop wearing that visorless open face helmet. It doesn't protect your face and you look like goons with it." They went out and bought a full closed face helmet, then took the visor off. SMH...and that fishnet chest protector with built in armpads...OMG. Can you believe John actually tried that on, looked in the mirror and said "Oh yeah! I look sweet. We'll take this." Salesman: "Will there be anything else? Boots, jersey, riding pants (leathers), goggles?" John: "Nah, we got some really cool colored sunglasses from a Happy Meal. But I'll take a pair of those snow ski gloves and 1 of those "Oh-Shit Neck Protectors", if you throw in a pair of those big ass kneepads."

[@jamesdavid5997]

Some people just like to have fun, regardless of what their riding!!! Great video

[@sandmanbub]

John's a good salesman.

[@bigred6715]

Love the content, been watching since you guys were at johns parents house. Favorite series is still the “Murray lawnmower” I still remember to this day of Ike making the cool hand Luke reference, it’s burned into my memory, keep it up guys!

[@Z_732]

Ya out here in the Rockies we run a different world. These trails are real. Push them to their limits. Good vid guys!

[@Smurphenstein]

I really like these episodes. I would love to do more travel in the USA and love your channel so this ticks all the boxes for me.

[@cr500_conversions]

Looks like a blast! The view is 😍

[@JeremyIsJeremy]

Where can I get that extended swingarm that is on the Mega Moto!?!?!?! I see the link for the shocks but not the extender.

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

I just love this bike and extremely under estimated its capabilities and durability because its from China but this bike is faster and more powerful than it looks and even with a stage 1 mod you feel a big difference in torque and top end speed! I also removed my fenders and the makes it even faster because less drag! Enjoy you just got yourself a great reliable off road tested 👏🏽💪🏽🔥

[@Gearheadgarage98]

As a fellow North Carolinian, I salute you

[@martinburgess4814]

What great fun in beautiful scenery.

[@Chris-cq5dy]

Looks like a fun trip Charles don't get hurt always a great show

[@GoPowerSports]

Great video on this minibike comparison! Keep up the good works.

[@CodyEwok]

I've watched several of your vids today!!! now a new one!! how awesome!!

[@wpflesh6510]

This makes me miss the road trips y’all did a couple of years ago….maybe you could a fall ride in the smokeys or something

[@josephschmier3733]

I super injoyed this video with the mini bikes . I'm sold

[@jameshoosier7928]

I’d like to see how the bikes do in a up and down hill single track deep in the woods. The roads you are on are fine station wagons.

[@mmsprojects.]

Was watching another KZbin channel got Your notification for this video and instantly switched to this video 🤘🤘

[@robinbrowne5419]

A fun video. Thanks 👍👍

[@bobsbarnworkshop]

An easier upgrade to the gearing is to replace the drive sprocket from 10 to 9 teeth! $12 and you can reuse the chain and you get very similar gear reduction! FYI, I’m at Zion canyon in Utah right now! Going to Bryce and Arches in the next couple days!

[@justinharris1299]

Jon always reminds me of Waldo off the little rascals. When he has his gear on! 😂

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

WOW. What a fun video guys 😁. This Old Man from Washington NC just added to my want list 🤣. One would be great for riding around the farm. Think the Grandkids and Great Grandson would love it. Love you Guys 🛵🧔💝💝💝

[@bustinyanutz4195]

If a motor is breaking up at high rpm moving the needle won't do a thing, you need to change the main jet to lean the top end out

[@Fiatmannen1]

Correct.

[@Otto_von_Chesterfield]

I just got a trailmaster mb200 from go power sports because of you guys. Down here at sea level I don't want to change anything about it.

[@FangBlah]

Cheers.

[@badcompany3057]

Would have likes to see that 2 stroke head up the hill. Does Go Power Sports have any plans to offer a bolt on gear box for mini bikes?

[@slamboy66]

I'm kinda diggin that red swing arm .

[@LittleSweed]

With that size of engine they feel slow i know that the elevation was a huge deal, but i have ridden a Orion 200cc Fiddy for a few years and that bike seems to have so much more power then these bikes and you can buy it for 750-1000$ and with the extra cash you can upgrade all the small things that they have cheeaped out on and still its cheaper then these bikes, so what is it that makes these worth the money?

[@SongLyricsHD]

14:46 “it’s a 4L60” 😂

[@jamesmcgee9279]

These are all sweet minis! LOL! Y'all need to turn that three-seater into a mountain climber. Great video guys!

[@larryalexander4833]

Big sales pitch geeez

[@Chris-xk6bm]

YES! Jesus clip!

[@Orbacron]

Absolutely more torque is better for keeping speed while climbing for sure

[@EntertainmenTV1]

Good video.... Great scenery.... Nice rides.... I do prefer the build and test vids.... Hope you enjoyed the time on factory rides. Glad all are safe and looking forward to the next video.

[@rettbull9100]

I've dirt biked in VA, NC and TN. I've always wanted to go out west to the Rockies to ride. If it wasn't for the the fact that I hate days long road trips, I would go.

[@billwilliamson9842]

we have the same type of trails, maybe even a little gnarlier here in se ky but you don't lose the hp from the higher elevations.

[@bradpeasly5106]

Where can I get that swing arm for the mega Moto???

great stuff guys thanks

Hey first comment . That's never happened to me before , Not sure what to say but great video . Always nice to see you guys having fun . Can't wait to see that rail cart in action . Thanks guys !

[@richb313]

Great content keep it up.

[@danf4616]

Looks like fun and I know this is a minibike channel, but for serious on/off road trail riding see if you can find a good used Honda XL-250R. I've had one for more than 30 years. Always reliable and a blast to ride.

[@ducttapeandwrenches]

I recently rebuilt one of those for my dad. They're a bit loose in the dirt/sand but it could be the tires or from me being very light haha. On road they're great though.

[@gnardawg69]

Just have to adjust the carburator boy's and have fun mini biking up here in my home state of colorful Colorado ! ! !

What a job... I need a job like this!😁

[@TylerDuysen]

i have a 1971 honda qa50 and couldnt imagine trying this but tires for my bike are unobtanium so i cant ride it anyway loved the video

[@Ufgood]

So, I'm about to get my first mini bike. I've been eyeing the Trail Master MB200-2. Should I just get the Hurricane instead? Same frame, just stock added front brake, correct?

[@bikeswithpower6564]

love the vids guys

Hey guys keep up the good work Dragsters running really good for you keep doing what you're doing get that thing up in the sevens but always be careful

This looks so much fun. The ammo can on the back of the mega moto was making me nervous. Maybe a plastic case withe some rounded edges would be safer. Great video.

John you sounded a bit under the weather here, hope you are feeling better now!

[@lesheath6216]

Would really love to see a full episode on the Mega moto

[@handyhippie6548]

i'm feeling deja vu. it seems like i've seen this before.

[@capthowdy126]

do they make a smaller turbo for small engines like this for higher altitudes or is that something thats not worth the extra work an maintenance that would come with that?

[@SolidBold00]

If I’m buying the MB200-2 and I ordered the Stage 1 performance kit, do you think I should use the original jet or the new stage 1 jet or even a different jet altogether because I live in Colorado and I will be riding in the mountains a lot. Thanks!

[@efrainordonez101]

And Charles has Uhhh soul 😂

[@2turbanrider142]

You guys should get Lectron carburettors. Its like having fuel injection. They also self tune for elevation and hot and cold weather. You save crazy amounts on gas and you'll never foil a plug. I've been using the same plug for 2 years now and before i would foul plugs almost every ride . Always had to hit powerband to keep plugs from fouling and now I can drive my 2 stroke ktm 200sx like a 4 cylinder without worrying on fouling a plug. One of the best investment on any carbureted machine

[@2turbanrider142]

Do you have another way to communicate or this is a scam

[@JMGilberto]

What are you guys using for comm?

[@FUELFIREGARAGE]

When we go out west with sleds the biggest thing is to get you clutch set up right .you can't go to the mountains with a flat land clutch.an change it back when you come back so you don't throw the rods out of the case.

[@dellstudio10]

4L60, dang Ike lol! Got one of those in my truck… poor little fella!

[@Drunken_Hamster]

I like how the red MB200 kinda looks like a flat track bike with moon lander tires.

[@ericpullen524]

I was backpacking in the Rockies last summer and Ike sounds like I did. Lots of huffing and puffing. That altitude is rough when you are used to only being at 500ft.

[@ttowen02271]

Why did the chains keep coming off on the hill climb ?

[@SabastianU]

Ike, I love ya man, but I laughed so hard when the chain popped off the second bike. You were spot on though that the Hurricane had too short a gear for the hill climb. You guys need to put forced induction on one of these bikes to overcome the "altitude sickness" as Ike put it.

[@justinwinn8969]

Where were you guys at in Colorado

[@TheUncleRuckus]

@4:23 Ike, it's NOT less Oxygen at altitude, it's Less PRESSURE! There is the same amount of available Oxygen at All altitudes, it doesn't matter if you're at Sea Level or the top of Mount Everest there is always 21% Oxygen in the Air! But what there is less of, is Barometric Pressure aka Air Pressure, which is what causes your body to process less Oxygen.

[@Namesakes.unit-x-10sq10]

There is less oxygen, as there is less air. The air density is lower, which means less. Your lungs arent depending upon barometric pressure to do your work, just enough air to process.

[@ericpullen524]

As William said, the reason there is less air pressure is because there is literally less air above you pushing down on you, thus less oxygen. 21% of the air is oxygen as any altitude, but if there is say 25% less air at 8000 ft then there is also 25% less oxygen.
