Test Ride - 3/4 Mini Chopper - Resurrection 4

UPDATE 2015-12-29: The bike and the other one I had like it was sold back in January 2013. Sorry to everyone that wants to buy them from me, but they are long gone. I got them from an company in Texas back in 2007. I don't have their contact information or website address, and they are no longer in business anymore. I paid a reasonable price (but I will not discuss finances and numbers on here, so please don't ask.)
I keep getting asked if I can build something like this custom, and the answer is YES! But if you want me to build something like it for you (better than the original chinese junk this bike was built from) then send me a private message and lets discuss your budget. Thanks!
This bike starts and runs really well, I didn't run it for long or leave it on charge for long enough so the battery ran low but I charged it back up and this machine was eager to go!
Diemuzi helped me using my camcorder, as well as took a ride up and down the street on my mini chopper after I bump-started it down the driveway,

I can not find exhaust or wiring or anything for this motor. Picked one up for a couple hundred but can’t get it going cause I can’t find any info on it

[@DuckmanCycles]

Those HF Predator engines are set up like lawnmower and go-kart engines, parts are pretty easy to get and its very simple especially if its your first time building something. I don't have anything like that though, as this chopper actually has a real dirtbike-like engine more like that of a Honda XR200. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

Watch my other video "Completed Mini Chopper - Walkaround" /watch?v=5dSanTjQ6jg and check out the video description. There were A LOT of things, far too many to list here! Hope that helps!

[@DuckmanCycles]

I appreciate it! Thanks for the comment!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Hi, thanks for the comment! What do you mean by change gears, do you mean replace them, or how to shift between them when riding? Help me understand and I'll see what I can do about making such a video.

[@DuckmanCycles]

This one is street legal, so yes! I drive it to work sometimes.

[@ralstonalvidrez1055]

I have one. I just don’t know what type of motor and stuff it needs so I plan on taking it to a mechanic shop and getting it fixed and working

[@desertfoxxx98]

Ride.

[@boredmud]

i love the disclaimer man, slick lil chopper, sounds sweet and looks like it could really move.

[@DuckmanCycles]

The motor is a Lifan 200cc, the frame came with it when bought. The name was on the title, but it was lengthy and chinese. I couldn't say it again if you asked me. Since its sold I don't have the title, so sorry for lack of info! :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

My neighbors make more noise than I do... I'm the quiet one, haha!

[@John-hv5sx]

Is it custom built?

[@miguelcardenas4923]

Where can I get the front tire, I can’t find it anywhere please help out guys

[@paulypoo66]

...I like it... ...nice sound, not too loud yet appealing and cautionary... ...very cool.,.will be looking into these.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Yeah, this bike was fun.

[@DuckmanCycles]

45º rake, very stable at high speeds, low speeds, too. However it is a little harder to steer very tight turns at low speed as it requires applying a little strength that most people aren't used to.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks man! Hopefully that Puch will get some work in the near future!

[@DuckmanCycles]

The guy I sold them to (I had the blue one in the video, and an orange one) might be looking to sell them again if you're actually interested. I could put you in touch with him. Send me a private message if interested.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Maintenance on this thing from when it was all stock was horrendous. I've since replaced or properly repaired all the junk items and now it runs well, and has been reliable for a couple years without problems.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Heh, I got this on my 30th birthday. I wanted something different than the other boring 7 bikes in the garage. Its been a lot of fun since! :)

[@donworrehbowmeh695]

Love mini choppers such fun little toys

[@DuckmanCycles]

This one was fun! The engine is still here, the rest of it as long since been retired, but a quick search for DoobleBastard and you'll see where the engine went! Thanks so much for the comment!

[@DuckmanCycles]

@boredmud Yeah, it sounds great and it hauls pretty good for a little motor!

[@DuckmanCycles]

No pointers I can give you other than ignore anyone else's advice. I had two of these bikes purchased at the same time and neither one of them had the same wiring schematic. Both of them had severe wiring issues too, lots of stuff didn't work right (clutch lever turns brake light on) and brake lever had no wiring at all. I had to gut them and reconnect and re-route a lot of things, so if you're going to hook up new lights, run them directly off the battery with a fuse and do it all custom.

[@williamsimmons2864]

I know this video is old but my god i love that bike. I need something like that to take on base during drill just to turn heads. Awesome video

[@DuckmanCycles]

It's quite noisy lol :-)

[@kjade3]

They'll all think you're lame buying a bike just for attention. If you get a bike get it for you

[@DuckmanCycles]

Its a whole lot of fun, too! :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

It was definitely a good sounding bike!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks! It was a fun ride!

[@seva4369]

Sick, I was thinking of building my own dirtbike, i have a couple of 125's and 250's laying around the garage.... now i need a frame :///.. anyways gr8 bike !

[@DuckmanCycles]

Seva Symonenko Do it! :-D

[@CaptainPantys]

Where can I get one Lol that dinky little thing looks like a lot of fun.

[@DuckmanCycles]

@cj15941 The frame actually came with the engine and the rest of the bike. Sounds like an interesting project, especially with the water-cooled aspect of it. Make sure to get some video up on of it getting built and stuff!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Sold, January 2013!

[@DuckmanCycles]

In the state of Florida at the time of registering it, it sure was!

[@trremanden3489]

Sounds great, looks great!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks! It was a fun machine!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Yep! Its that season again, time to break it out for more shenanigans!

[@devinfulton673]

I wish I had one of those too they fun to Ride on

[@DuckmanCycles]

I live in Florida, it was street legal here, but I can't answer for California. Check with your local law enforcement and DMV for a proper answer. Hope that helps!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Sure you can! :)

[@brandonlantier]

Damn man thats a nice bike! I been looking around for something just like it, I have dwarfism and am 4'2 so its hard to find a bike I can put on the street legally, would love to tool around town on one of those!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Too bad you weren't around when I had this, I would have let you ride it we could have made some videos together!

[@Evilkamm]

Yooo that sound is just a beast😂

[@DuckmanCycles]

A little beast indeed!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Haha, yep! EXPLODE! I consedered a Honda Shadow 750 engine, too. but it was just too big. I even considered an SV650 engine that I had... all of which just seemed like a bad idea, lol. Yeah, like I said in the other post, heads may be swappable.

[@DuckmanCycles]

The front tire is the same size as some scooters, that should help you find one. Check your local scooter dealers for a similar size. It doesn't have to be exact, just needs to fit a 15 inch rim.

[@Dal_Fi]

Sick Duckman! I got a Snap on tools chopper. Same size as this one!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Interesting, I would like to see that

[@DuckmanCycles]

The Facebook link is in the video description. :-D

[@DuckmanCycles]

Did the starter break? I know the electric starter clutch in the engine were known for having issues.

[@DuckmanCycles]

@DibbersPage Thanks man! :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

Sold back in Jan 2013!

[@DuckmanCycles]

That depends on the bike, but the one in this video is a 200cc and tops out over 70mph.

[@braydenallen3432]

the chopper is really cool

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you!

[@sashaacovski2789]

Cool ass bike bro!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you!

[@sashaacovski2789]

@@DuckmanCycles your welcome!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Its already sold, long gone. Sorry!

[@DuckmanCycles]

No idea on the battery, actually. Mine had a battery in it from an APC battery backup for a computer. So did my friend's though, so I dunno, haha. I put a lawnmower battery into mine, though I am uncertain what model it is. I also had major wiring issues when it was new (for example the brake light came on when squeezing clutch lever.) I traced and re-situated all wiring properly.

[@marshallflike7882]

I bought one from my neighbor for $250. I had to mow their lawn to, but still a great steal!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Marshall Flike Good find! I'd take it, too! :-D

[@DuckmanCycles]

@mannypena214 Everything is for sale, so I'm up for offers. :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

ALREADY SOLD!!! But it sure was a fun time while it lasted. :)

[@DuckmanCycles]

I can't tell you where to buy one, but I am pretty sure they stopped making them. There are similiar bikes now that have better suspension and a higher ride height making them more enjoyable. Anyways, I think you saw my video and comment over on my other channel, and unless you know how to work on bikes, I don't know if this one would be the best for you.

[@DuckmanCycles]

No idea, but there is a possibility the head can be swapped between all of them. You may have to do a little research in the department. Just be sure you don't get one of the dual overhead cam engines, the top end on those are a completely different animal.

[@DuckmanCycles]

The rear fender came off of ebay about 4 years ago. Can't tell you much anymore other than that. Try doing a search there. Lemme know what you find, I'll tell you if it will work! :)

[@sawreh86]

That’s gotta piss of the neighbors 😂

[@DuckmanCycles]

Nope, they all got free rides!

[@alexhoughton6201]

I like your mini chopper because it's loud and I like his loud and I was to have a roommate who had a really loud bike and I loved it

[@DuckmanCycles]

Its a fun bike! I sold the bike, but the engine came back some time ago. The loud engine can be found on the Doodlebastard that I built!

[@TheKingben46]

Got a 110cc mini chopper don't know how to ride it at allllll can you make a tutorial on how to switch gears and all that good stuff

[@DuckmanCycles]

Swap that motor, sounds fun! You probably won't notice much difference in performance, but the 200cc motor that comes on these things has a unique dual exhaust port giving the exhaust a dual-note low-tone rumble which you won't get out of the 250. I think its a much better sound!

[@larrytemen4789]

But it’s damn near impossible to find parts for or exhaust. Hence why on on this video 12years later looking for ANY info at all.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks!

[@ericmartin6657]

Sounds kind of like a badass Harley

[@DuckmanCycles]

Certainly does have an aggressive sound, I still have this engine but now it's on a kids Doodlebug. It goes way too fast LOL

[@vtwinbreed]

This thing is still bad ass for a little bike!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Yessss

[@DuckmanCycles]

I sold this one and another one just like it for $1200. New, however, they cost more than double that individually once you get done with all the shipping taxes and other nonsense.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks for the subby. My DoodleBastard has the same engine and should sound the same. I should have that together sometime in the future. :-D

[@DuckmanCycles]

I have one in the works, stay tuned.

[@DuckmanCycles]

@starguard Haha, its quite large for a mini, its almost 8 feet long! LOL! If it had full-sized wheels it would look more reasonable. I've considered that as a mod, I guess we'll see. :)

[@timfarmer648]

Super cool.

[@DuckmanCycles]

thank you!

[@DuckmanCycles]

I sold this one and another one just like it for $1200. New, however, they cost more than double that individually once you get done with all the shipping taxes and other nonsense./ After I resprocketed it for higher speed I was passing cars on the interstate. The speedometer isn't accurate but I'd say I was going 75 to 80mph topped out.

[@kjade3]

I'd be scared to ride it on the highway because it's so small😅

[@DuckmanCycles]

That all depends highly on the laws in the state you are registering it. I wouldn't know.

[@DuckmanCycles]

@vvtheduckvv I'm not much of an RC guy anymore, unless I can sit in that boat, lol. :) But yeah if you still want it shoot me an email or something with some more information, maybe we can set something up.

[@teamj4457]

Hey What's Good Huge Fan I Love Your Videos They Are So Sick

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you!

[@richprint29]

Looks like fun guys.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks !

[@DuckmanCycles]

Correct! :)

[@lonewolfr86]

hey like the video, was looking to build one myself for the first time, have a less raked chopper frame than yours but was wondering what you used for a motor ect.

[@DuckmanCycles]

lonewolfr86 I bought the bike as you see it, I just customized it highly. But its a Lifan LF200 engine if that helps you.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Come have a ride in it!

[@edwinar7076]

hey man where do you find forks ? i need new ones for a mini chopper i picked up .can you please help. you seem to get your hands on great parts. thanks in advance

[@DuckmanCycles]

Well... ebay for almost everything always. Take some measurements and start searching. Any good seller will usually publish the sizes of things, otherwise start googling for aftermarket or OEM parts from another brand that you think might fit, get measurements then MAKE IT WORK! :-D Seriously, thats how I do it. Thanks for the comment!

[@DuckmanCycles]

You can buy this one. I have two just like it, will sell both for package deal. Retail they were going for about $2000 to $3000 or so, plus then the cost to rebuild all the parts that break (don't replace them with the same crap!) the first day you have it, lol. For the pair I'll ask less than the cost of one. Need more room in garage!!!!!!!!!!

[@cj15941]

Oh, I was hoping it was something you ordered or found or built so I didn't have to go through a full fabrication process. Guess I'll just throw the motor in my kart lol

[@DuckmanCycles]

😁👍🏻

[@SacredSocietyAP]

Yes, there are plenty of companies that sell full size 50cc bikes.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Yes, but this one's not 50cc :-)

[@lynnbateman7408]

Sounds good

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you very much

[@DuckmanCycles]

That depends on what parts you need... I haven't had any problems finding anything I was looking for.

[@zzlukzz__69luke13]

I know these comments are pretty old but I recently just purchased the same bike and I’m having a hard time finding parts like a clutch and break lever and the plastic that covers the rear tire any chance you might know where I could get them?

[@miguelcardenas4923]

I need the front. Tire 70/70-15

[@willieobermann4915]

Cool bike

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks Willie, this thing is a lot of fun!

[@sebastianqueti108]

hermosa la moto amigo..genial..

[@DuckmanCycles]

Gracias! :-D

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thanks! :)

[@RickSuaz]

Omg i had never seen one of these... I would definitely get one. Don't care about the size I'm on a choppa lol

[@DuckmanCycles]

It was pretty fun!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Yeah, thats about right, a little high, but about where I want to be. Plus I have a second one that I'd include in the deal.

[@DuckmanCycles]

@gangsterbryce nope, regular 4-stroke.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Heh, so true!

[@DuckmanCycles]

There's no way to fall down when you're already that low to the ground. :-P

[@sanesaint8725]

I will give you 1150

[@DuckmanCycles]

Well, unless you have a lot of money, lots of time, and parts laying around everywhere I would leave it alone and get a bigger bike. But hey, I can't knock you one bit if you just want to build something big and crazy! Get a good look at the frame and take some measurements. Then look at other bikes that you see in the area and take some engine measurements and see what would make the most practical fit! Hope that helps!

[@3D7E]

The bike is beautiful. ¿How much? weight? motor? maintenance is easy? Im live in Lima - Perú and Also I have friends in California, thanks... good job.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Well, without thinking and actually testing, I hit about 75mph on it with the sprockets changed up. I was passing other cars on the highway.

[@THECOVEN92]

DuckmanCycles and VW Garage I have a s

[@THECOVEN92]

Hey man I have the 2018 250cc villain chopper, I’ve put 441 mile on her already, everything works great but one problem. I can’t get it passed 50mph now idk if it because of the break in period which I was told between 500-1000 miles to see it’s full peak. Is there something else I’m missing or something I should look for on the bike itself. Your response is very appreciated the model is DF250RTF chopper identical to yours but a little different on some things. Ty sir

[@kotacolestock]

Are they decent for getting around small town areas. Looking to get one but not totally sold on one yet

[@DuckmanCycles]

Sure, as long as you know how to work on them.

[@DuckmanCycles]

I don't think so, but that doesn't mean you can't downgrade the engine size.

[@DuckmanCycles]

In the state of Florida, yes it is legal.

[@frankstera.9952]

i have a 49cc mini chopper i ask how do i get the front wheel to extend and also do they break down if you usee to go to work and back like 6 miles every day use

[@DuckmanCycles]

When it was new, after all the taxes import fees and other paperwork nonsense it was like $4000. Then I started fixing and replacing all the junk stuff that broke or was going to break, so the total cost went up, lol.

[@Jennifergagnon88]

Ahhh your blue car!!! I miss that car!!!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Its still here!

[@DuckmanCycles]

@cj15941 Nope, it came together. Wanna buy this frame? I considered tearing it down and building a cheap dirt bike from spare parts and using that motor. If we did this, I'd include the title, too, of course. :)

[@travispotter1187]

I'm going to save my money and get me for Christmas.

[@DuckmanCycles]

Did you get one? :)

[@primedreamer7029]

That is freekin awesome!

[@DuckmanCycles]

Thank you much, but now it's sold!

[@DuckmanCycles]

That depends on the laws in your locality.
