DIY Lil Rascal Mini Bike Kit Build

In today's video we put together the Lil Rascal DIY Mini Bike Kit from Go Power Sports with a tillotson 212 and built our own header. This mini bike kit comes with everything you need to have a rolling frame. At the end Lonnie & Braxton take it for timed trials. I would compare the size of this mini bike to doodle bug db30.

I like the idea of a DIY mini bike kit, but for that price point not including the motor or mods makes for $1,000 mini bike project. Compared to a Coleman from tractor supply is $599. Thanks for doing the video, but I’d like to see a lower price before I spend the money.

[@againsthell1908]

Yeah its easier to just find a complete frame and just buy the motor etc

[@charlesharper7292]

Pretty nice, but I think I'll keep an eye out for a junker garage sale/ barn find with a good frame. Thanks for the fun anyway ☺️

[@skepticfucker280]

I see a lot of monster moto e1000 for sale about 150-100bucks, just remove the electric box and it's the same roller as their gas versions and there are a lot of videos on KZbin of people dropping predator 212s in them. So maybe 250 total with new engine and a day or 2 of building.....

[@ihavenoclue7279]

Well do u live near a place called quitman GA there's a junk yard there. We're I bought me a murry mini bike frame for 30bucks with a 301cc on it. All I had todo was rebuild the carb an get 2 tires an a seat

[@karlg1535]

Bought a ct200u clone kit diy for 250$ included everything except the motor which was another 200 shipped

[@GratefulEd907]

Just bought a complete Baja blitz minus the carb and air box for $150 it’s just a 3hp but that’s fine for my 8 year old daughter. Parts are on the way and I’ve already tore it apart and painted it. Putting it back together tomorrow. Also order a new chain and brake caliper so all together about $200

[@samkaplitz9036]

Is there an upgrade for the foot pegs? Like to see folding.

[@elijahmccartney2545]

I love go power sports but they really need to lower the price if they want to sell

[@user-neo71665]

They need to lower all their prices since they just sell the same Chinese stuff you can buy on amazon or fleabay for well over half their cost.

[@Agavegaming]

@@user-neo71665 Yeah I noticed that aswell, just a whole bunch of fake ass markups.

[@jekinneys]

@@user-neo71665 And they say support local business. I would bet they don't sell the volume needed because people buy on the jungle site. Some, I would argue most, of the items they sell, are made in Texas like the minibike and go-kart frames and the specific parts like top plates, etc.

[@user-neo71665]

@@jekinneys The do have a few special parts they make in house but most of everything else is still Chinese crap with a huge markup. I get they buy the crap and ship it over and have to make money on it. I've ordered parts from them and it's cheap chinese crap I coulda ordered 2 day from amazon. They try to make too big of a deal about how they are an american company and from texASS but at the end of the day they just the middle man for Chinese crap.

[@otismurederface]

Seriously epic. Mini bike Monday !!! Plus that super sweet mustache Brax is rocking! 😎

[@bryanmcguire6274]

I can't wait to see that build with that cute lil bike on the back of it

[@jasongoodin5728]

That's a cool little bike! I know the feeling of sketchy with my old Dixie Flyer with a degoverned GX200 on it and that short wheel base. I've hit 42MPH on mine and I am over 275lb. It's exciting and hair-raising at the same time.

[@The_RC_Guru]

I like that mini bike.Great video 👍

[@SportbikerNZ]

Sweet little unit.

[@mwmuller]

Love it! Great video!

[@fastcarsrule4790]

I bought the Coleman cc100x from Walmart for $279 plus shipping, bought the 212 hemi predator from Harbor Freight for $124.99. Stage One for GPS with shipping for $108 total gives me half the cost of the Lil Rascal and it is very similar in size and performance plus I have a brand new 100cc engine to boot. Love you RBG, and GPS but I agree just cant spend 1k for this.

[@localearrape1467]

Ayyyyyyy I was waiting for an upload let’s go!!!!!

[@michaellipe4889]

The Tennessee way to race a mini bike. I love it

[@raymondsteptore2458]

Installing the grips onto the foot rests with water makes things alot easier. It's an old bicyclist 'a trick yet effective.

[@AmericanDefender]

They sent these things to everyone!

[@CainSample]

RBG needs to start making these kits 👍

[@bryans3287]

thinking of buying one to put my kun way 3000w 72v electric kit on . That is such a good-looking mini bike

[@rob379lqz]

Nope. Not even close to be affordable.

[@spicydeath82]

Yeah, that seems to be the sales pitch GPS gave all their partners on KZbin to use. Buts really not affordable, especially not right now.

[@mdcool3487]

Not at all with no motor.

[@tex_mex-car-tel]

Wow. Nice

[@dumbstuffwithcaden7278]

Love the vids

[@everywherelocal]

nice video 👌

[@techhead976]

Yeah it’s cool and all but for $695 without an engine is highway robbery.

[@RyanTheWebGuy]

And no suspension... Lonnie looked like he might need some ice on his grown after taking that on the grass for 30 seconds.

[@techhead976]

Ryan Watkins It’s crazy what people will spend money on, Especially a useless mini bike like this unless it’s for a toddler. For $695 for a frame could get you 2 Coleman mid size mini bikes or 2 Baja warriors used of course.

[@skepticfucker280]

No fenders...

[@3v068]

For a used minibike or go kart frame, yes. But not for a brand new one. That takes work to make these.

[@DevonFerguson.]

You could probably home build one yourself for half of the price.

[@drewtooker4243]

Make a bolt on chopper front end for it. Little rascal mini chopper would be sick

[@diamondthomas7778]

Racing time boys

[@cliftonperkins9071]

That bike is cool looking. Duce an bike billed would be epic

[@modelrc9500]

It’s cheaper to buy a trail master if you upgrade it (which most people will)... not worth it IMO.

[@jaredbudzinski9385]

"sometimes I wish you were mute" I am dead XD

@Red Beard’s Garage what happened to uploading the Coleman ct200u ex build today? In you stream last week you said you would upload it today.

[@spekky9012]

Love your videos! Can you tell me what performance carbs I can put on a GX240 Honda 8.0 Hp? I love the look of the Nibbi carbs but I haven't gotten any idea if any of them would perform well on it. Thanks -Pete

[@Mystikwizrd666]

Red beard, I put a “140” e tube with a .035 jet on my predator 212 and now it’s leaking, what do I do????

[@choppermike5162]

Can a torque converter be used on this rig versus the centrifugal clutch?

[@ntj030885]

With the motor hard mounted to the mounting plate like that do you get a lot of vibration? I put a predator in a three wheeler and it vibrates awful. Shakes my hands to bad to hold at high rpm.

[@absolutemadlad2671]

I've got a doodle bug that I keep in the back of my buick century instead of the rear seat.

[@christianruiz7129]

Same here

[@spicydeath82]

For how much it costs I'd rather buy a trail master MB 200. Already have a Coleman CT 200 u ex

[@rodneyws1977]

Have a Coleman 200 and the Trailmaster MB200-2. Obviously I bought the Coleman first and man I wish I had two of the Trailmasters now. I live in a ROUGH area and that little bit of suspension makes all the difference in the world.

[@Nitewatch-xc9yz]

Could it be ordered with front suspension?

[@ZVVWVVZ]

Would a predator 212 take a 3/4 as well?

[@javierpagan364]

5:20 What's happening with the CT200U-EX in the background? 🤔

[@Deucealive75]

Looks like they have it mocked up for a jackshaft. Maybe they are going to do a suspension with a swing arm?

[@bwxmoto]

Yeah looks like it.. a few seconds later I think you can see the swing arm. Rear suspension would be cool on that bike! -Edit. Maybe it wast after that. I thought I saw the swingarm somewhere.. 🤔

@@bwxmoto Want to see the results of that. Wow. Did you hear his comment at 4:48 in that video? They didn't like the 60 tooth. Said something about "more top end" with the 50. They must not have did that uphill test. The 60 would beat the 50 tooth there, even with the 10 tooth on the TAV.

Can it fit a 212 with a cvt

Doubt it. A better question would be what does it take to install a CVT? 196 or 212, it doesn't matter. A CVT install would be the same for either engine.

Hey there. I got the 212 installed on my bicycle. While I'm riding it as I give it throttle there is a sound and feel of a bumping. As I throttle. The TAV. I bought it from gas bike. Have ate 3 belts. Slipping like crazy. But I bought the Juggernaut driver thinking thank God my troubles are over. Nope I still have the banging and bumping. I'm thinking it's my Driven . In your opinion with what I've told you.What do you think it is. Dose the Driven go bad . I mean yes they go bad. But it's only 4 months young. Yes the Gov is out waiting on my valve springs the 20 lbs not the 18. But motor is running smoothly. Thank You for being there for all of us out here doing it.
