Default Sweet Mini Bike

Have had it laying around and the carb needs cleaned. As far as we can tell it's a custom that the guy we got it from built.

Default Mini Bikes

Like go-karts, the first minibikes were made by enthusiasts from spare parts found in their garages. They were first popularly used as "pit bikes", for drag racers to travel around in the pits during races in the late 1950s. They were very useful for this purpose, as they could maneuver very well in the tight pit roads, fit in about the same space as a small bicycle in a trailer or pickup, and they were faster than most previous forms of transportation.
