ONE DAY BUILD! 18hp Lil' Rascal Minibike Kit from Gopowersports!

[@ReddingCT70]

Good Job guys. Its great to see the younger guys with mechanical abilities & appreciation for bikes

[@Niko-iq8bc]

It’s a mini bike it’s not like it has a trans or it’s a car

[@dereckhasken9055]

Mechanical abilities?? Just Meccano/Lego no skills required

[@richcar3434]

...he says..."I'm hearing that these frames are gonna be really afordable"..."You're killing me Smalls!"

[@MountainEagle77]

Would a Predator 224 fit on this frame without any fabrication?

[@guloguloguy]

NICE WORK!!! IMHO: YOU SHOULD'VE HAD "COFFEE" COLORED LEATHER SEAT/SADDLE, AND HAD A BIT OF "GLITTER" ON TOP OF THE TANK,.. (=> "COFFEE, WITH CREAM AND SUGAR"...)

[@quevicular]

THAT BIKE IS UTTER DEATH. SPEED WOBBLE AT 25MPH. EESH!!

[@bicivelo]

"a little sketchy" like he said. LOL pass

[@DS-ss396]

They'll never get the full potential out of that 18hp motor on that little bike. High speed wobble...no thx.

[@sergioontiveros4984]

Aint fun if it aint sketchy

[@bradleyj.fortner2203]

Not a bad commercial. Now I want to build one for my grandkids.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Just buy the grankids a coleman and save 200 dollars plus it comes with an engine

[@4saken404]

Super nice build. Love how the back tire sits far out. But the front seems unstable. Maybe a different front fork angle? Or move the seat back some?

[@ELECTRICEYE1776]

Yup

[@sammymarquez9880]

Way tooo expensive! Maybe cut the price in half. Yeah

[@CR4ZYxRY4N]

I’m working on mine putting a turbo on mine I’m aiming for a really high end super clean look

[@joshmcneil7705]

This is a really cool idea Go Power Sports had. I respect how it's made in America, but come on you have be competitive with the price. I think $375 would be a great price, and it would undercut the CT100U and Baja Doodlebug.

[@garyneely2263]

Kewl Guys. Move the gas tank brakets bolts to the bottom ,

[@16driver16]

Big honda 4 strokes, i always used to tip my bike on its side(i forget which side), then get the kick start at the right point before i would kick, then it would fire up first kick with no recoil and never did it without riding boots either, never got hurt myself

Man guys this lil rascal came out so great. I bet it’s a blast to ride that lil mini bike gps rocks

[@MJ-nl3pv]

You guys in Tampa Florida??

[@roehle9962]

welding two forward facing mounting brackets to the fork should eliminate the wobble at higher speeds. the contact point of the front wheel is not far enough away from the forks pivot axis.

[@BuildBreakRepeat]

Thanks for the tip! We didn't say it in the video but we actually got one of the first test frames and the frame manufacturer had the wrong rake/fork angle (we couldn't run the cleat tires it comes with because they would have hit the frame) It's been fixed since then so I'd assume that should help with the stability

[@adamnahtankyoulol3499]

That thing looks like it would slam u to the pavement w the quickness w the slightest mistake. A lot of power for that style frame

[@PhilipjFrytheonly]

Gotta know how to ride it ride or die

[@staceystarling15]

Love the video but sketchy. Speed wabbles at like 25,30? Think it's the shape of the bike frame. But ok for out the box

[@BuildBreakRepeat]

There was some wobble there but remember we’re running 18 hp. Also, we didn't say it in the video but we actually got one of the first test frames and the frame manufacturer had the wrong rake/fork angle (we couldn't run the cleat tires it comes with because they would have hit the frame). Now they come with a little bit more so you could fit a bigger tire and the caster angle will help you out with stability if that’s a concern you have.

[@coyote_450f]

@@BuildBreakRepeat even with a 6 1/2hp it would be sketchy. go power sports should of put more thought in to it, and raked the front end out more.

[@staceystarling15]

@@BuildBreakRepeat yeah that's what I was guessing, but w a decent rake, I mean, how could anybody ask for a better out of the box mini bike FULL build? Really can't.

If the petcock has a filter built onto it, is it necessary to have another filter?

Top speed of gearing that’s given?

[@atractorkid7]

Not quite convinced and I feel lost..how is that little 5.5 Honda clone putting 18hp out? Even with valve springs carb swap and exhaust mods I still don't see how it can produce that much HP without methyl injection or alcohol, turbo..etc. ..anyone have more info on these engines?

with building minis for 30 years plus this new frame is way toooooooo small and not worth the money!!!!!!!

[@AmericanDefender]

Especially at over 650 bucks! You can buy a preassembled built mini bike for that money.

[@ryanlucascarrasco]

The wheel base is wayyy too short for that motor

[@joshsmith7571]

Awesome bike. I'm doing one as well with a 225 I put 24# valve springs aslwell curious how much power that will add plus a torque converter.

[@Deucealive75]

Valve springs do not produce power. They just provide better valve operation at higher RPM.

[@joshsimmons2663]

Heck yeah ive been waiting for a video on this bike. Just from the thumbnail it looks amazing

[@averyanderson6945]

700$ for a roller isn’t a good deal in my eyes at all

True 🙁

[@Partnerthedog]

I got a 212cc minibike with stage 3 engine and front suspension for 500 and I thought i paid alot for it. Its still on the original back tire in like new condition and never had its governor removed

[@clintmccoy357]

735 bucks for this without a engine 😂😂😂 ill pass i could buy 2 full minibikes for that

[@pavementpariah7342]

I built one of the Coleman ones for less than that. Fully built engine. Did 50mph. Probably could have gotten more out of it with some different sprockets.

Quirin M. Where’s the best place to buy a fully built Mini Bike. With a 6.5 Engine, or faster.

[@SpiffyUNO]

Tyler Humphreville Do they have faster options?

[@silkcustoms520]

All these Mini Bikes are way over priced. It is Insane. Most of them you pay a shit load for just a frame and then they make you pay for forks and every other part. Those Grips they have are an extra option and 40.00.

[@trudagger3933]

Get a 212 cc for a hundred then

[@tylershane2636]

“now let’s add the engine and all the other accessories” **pretty sure the engine is vital to the bike**

Was wondering do you do custom jobs for cash need one built

first belt drive and then chain?

[@carbide1968]

Can you order it slightly larger diameter rims and tires. Small tires that fast get very squirrelly.

[@scottpitner4298]

this bike looks awesome

[@LPZ.04]

I have a question, you know how when you guys first started it, and the idle wasn’t right, so the back tire was just spinning like if you were to give it some throttle, how did you fix that issue by making the engine idle how it should idle? That’s the only problem on my mini bike I can’t solve.!

[@LPZ.04]

@jefferey johnson I’ma give that a try, thank you!!!

[@kenphillips1491]

So if I can ask. How much just for the roller??

[@Dtsloan423]

Nice throttle chop on first start

[@everydayguy1409]

Definitely switch it for a black seat and it will be mint

[@jeffdunlap2754]

Had a lil indian when I was a kid and it had 3 hp, which seemed like enough for something of that size

That bag where the fender is supposed to be is gonna catch all the mud at least

[@mattthompson9261]

Do they ship to Australia

[@craigcorbin4098]

A leather seat to match that rear bag would have looked so good with the tan paint.

[@StupidEarthlings]

So much "stuff" for soooo much money. Crazy that a $300 minibike can get $1500 plus. Right place /right time, vs right place wrong time...(or vc , vc)..

Im hitting over 50mph and im 210lbs. Im running a 15 tooth front and 54 rear tooth sprocket. Briggs and stratton 205cc with torque converter.

That Thing is really nice and all the parts are given for fine price of 1,500 but I mean it’s really nice

For the kit the base price is $695 and it does not come with an engine. We chose to use the 225 which would add alot to the cost but if you already have an engine or use a predator 212 you could have a brand new custom minibike in the 750$ ballpark which is pretty fair

[@dylanwestbrooks8016]

Build Break Repeat of course a predtor 212 works perfect altogether 3 times the horse power makes difference and it would be a heck of a lot more fun

[@sconniejohn]

If there's so many haters on the price point of this thing, there must be a market for ones you can build for cheaper. By all means show some receipts for a complete kit, made in America. And a built race motor. A stock 225 from harbor freight isn't in the same ballpark as this one.
