[@peterhoffman135]

Just seeing your face light up when you talk about your minibike memories is priceless. You look like you're living your best life Tim.

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Agreed! Tim's passion shines through clearly. Thanks for watching.

[@sandwichbar8226]

Absolutely fantastic! Rarely do i watch such long streams, but this had me glued to the screen from start to finish. Informative, well shot and edited, infectious enthusiasm and mind bending skills on show. Thanks 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Thanks so much for the comment Sandwich! Those words alone make it worth while. I wasn't sure about releasing such a long video in the age of short attention spans but Tim convinced me it was worth the effort.

[@hustlerminibikesnz]

Thanks so much for putting this together Callum!

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Thanks for all your efforts Tim! Really amazing stuff you’re doing with Hustler Minibikes.

[@kiwi90ss]

Awesome video - inspiring dude!

[@SmallBikeStuff]

He sure is. Amazing to see what can be created by one person at home.

[@mikeysmithnz50]

Epic vid team. More than welcome to visit when the rotary is done

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Woooooo! It’d be worth the trip up that’s for sure. We’ll keep an eye out for completion!

[@precilaclark7948]

All great looking mini bikes I'd love to buy my grandson's one each ❤

[@ashpunting]

I would have loved a friend like him when I was young because I've always loved small mini bikes 😊😅👌🏾

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Agreed! His skills are amazing. Good to see you in the comments again mate.

[@michaelfleming40]

So would I have loved to know a mini bike builder, especially when I was a kid. 😊❤

[@lasertx3i]

What an epic work shop! The little rotary screams 😍

[@SmallBikeStuff]

I would love a workshop set up like this!

[@pinslayer4579]

When I heard the rotary light off I was sure I wanted one

[@darrengreen9785]

How good does that rotary sound! And he does such a nice job on those hustlers

[@SmallBikeStuff]

They're all build in such a clean way. Lots of attention to detail.

[@tobyoakes4130]

Excellent video, definitely taking your content creation to another level

[@slothzombi307]

Very cool. The white carpet makes me nervous.

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Tim is a brave man!

[@JeffTucker-j1p]

I had one when I was a kid. Boy that brings back memories.

[@SmallBikeStuff]

They're full of nostalgia!

[@bennyandthedecks]

Been following Tim’s Insta for a while now, thanks so much for this in depth episode/interview! 👌

Appreciate you watching!

The Wankel powered mini is awesome!!

NEXT LEVEL GUYS...

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Appreciate you watching. Thanks!

[@Ez_Moto]

Awesome video great inspiration wishing I can come across one of those rotary engines

[@SmallBikeStuff]

They’re hard to find that’s for sure!

[@Biokemist-o3k]

New subscriber here!!..These minibikes are cool but at $2,300 a piece it seems a little steep..I suppose that New Zealand never had minibikes because of their isolation or if they did, the bikes were imported and then the tariffs and everything else made them unaffordable in the past.. This guy really found a niche and he is doing really well it would seem..

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Thanks so much for joining mate. We did get minibikes - Trutest was the main brand here then there was a Kiwi brand in the late 90s. But most of the Hustler bikes actually head overseas!

[@Biokemist-o3k]

@@SmallBikeStuff Very cool!!!..thank you for the info-John

[@sandwichbar8226]

England watching 👍

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Cheers mate!

[@JeffKopis]

AWESOME BIKES!!

[@jamesbaldwin5699]

Oh that rotary we need more of that sound

[@SmallBikeStuff]

ASMR rotary minibike start up and ride is what we need.

@@SmallBikeStuff might rebuild my Skyteam with one

[@OddsandEndsMachining]

I enjoyed the vid, it's pretty cool hearing other peoples stories.

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Big praise coming from you mate. Thanks so much for watching. What’s the plans with the Vtwin motor, is it in a bike or going in one yet?

[@OddsandEndsMachining]

@@SmallBikeStuff the chassis is 90% complete. I could get it running this weekend. I just need a spare set of hands to hold a camera (I think my mates going to help on Sunday) otherwise the assembly video will be garbage.

[@nitewatch2.027]

Love to try one of these motors in my trike project

[@calhumps]

Bloody awesome job, sounds wicked! Got to love the hilux as well

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Agreed! V8 Hilux's are the way to go.

[@davekat4680]

……cheers from sf bay in us 🍻 nice work ! Be nice to have seen those in action ☠️

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@supertedogpriken]

Those look so amazing. But i am missing some 2 stroke models. The Ktm & motomorini 50cc china clone engines should work good. Even the Suzuki xn 100cc engine would be a blast in any of them bikes.

[@rdykes828]

Azuza California U. S. A. by Los Angeles !

[@EliShepherd-l9k]

What are the bike kits called?

[@spinnetti]

Where do you even get Sachs motors these days? There was one of those in my shop class in high school, but never heard it run. My dad bought about 100 NOS Sach lawnmower motors years ago - I put one on my lawnmower. Would have been cool to make a 3-rotor out of them lol. I had a 81' Toyo truck like yours too back in the day ;)

[@SmallBikeStuff]

They're hard to find for sure. Tim tracked them down online and managed to secure a few. But once they're gone I'm not sure where he would get more.

[@b85douglas]

Did you hear? Dudes an engineer

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Yes.

[@dogdue4588]

What brand of two cycle engine, do you use? Thanks...

[@SmallBikeStuff]

These are SACHS Rotary engines.

[@nzdans]

1:03:40 What yourself?! But on a more serious note, when & where can you ride these (legally)? Sorry, still have few min to go.

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Haha slip of the tongue we’ll say. These need to be ridden on a private road in Mexico if you catch my drift? Out of the way of others and keeping safe is the best bet with a lack of traditional safety items like lights etc etc.

[@keystoneangler3217]

Not the only ohc

[@matthewzysek5758]

What is the original bike brand Tim was saying?

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Tru Test - it was a popular Minibike brand in New Zealand for many years.

[@johnrommelt6560]

Who makes the Rotary Engine

[@SmallBikeStuff]

They are old Sachs engines.

“Around 12 or 13 just starting college” lol either you misspoke or be totally missed the joke 😅😂

College is high school in many parts of the world. And university is what some countries call college.

[@SmallBikeStuff]

I know right? 1UZ powered even. Need to get that on the other channel sometime.

They can't be street legal in Canada.

Can’t be street legal here in NZ either.

They keep selling though!

LIL' INDIAN MINIBIKE, copy!!!

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Boring comment.

[@luiscardozo0000]

its a shame tHEY LOOK LIKE 1950 minibike ...they should have a better frame and better wheels and tires , you shoul put a telescopic suspension in the front and brake discs and in the rear wheel please put some susp and some good brakes....that bikes are too cheap and 1950 design

[@SmallBikeStuff]

Each to their own! I prefer the older style. Plus if you watch the whole thing you'll see some cool wheel upgrades. There's plenty of kits out there with suspension if that's your thing.

[@oldguyBMX]

He didn't design anything! The Michrina brother's designed that very frame in 1958!!! The "LIL INDIAN " is the original! USA 🇺🇸

[@SmallBikeStuff]

What’s your point? Have you watched the whole thing? That exact topic is mentioned and there’s a lot of different things being made. It’s not just 1 exact replica being produced.
