Buying minibikes online?

[oscaryu1]

Wondering if anyone knew of any "cheap" stores where I could buy a used minibike or just a minibike kit-ish type of thing CHEAP?

(My meaning of cheap is eBay-cheap )

Parents don't like driving, so I have to have it shipped

Any tips? Or... tips on how much shipping COULD be?

I bought this one. Kind of a starter kit.

Thats not a bad price for a minibike. Probably make one cheaper with better materials though.

But $300... you could probably build most of that yourself...

Steering would be hardest... And then the rear wheel assembly

Good challenge though. Should I throw that 5HP I just can't turn over on it Tyler ?

Steering is easy. Just get a peice of 1.000" OD .494" ID tubing and weld it to the front end. a 1/2" bolt fits very snugly. Same stuff used on my go kart spindles. Sure throw that motor on it. Or my Rhino

xD Right

I'll probably buy like a scooter-ish front end, cut it off at the top, and weld the top half of a bike on it or something xD

Yes, I would do that. Just to ride aroudn with my 5HP

Nooooo my 5HP > Your Failo.

The probelem is that bicycle headset bearings are pretty flimsy when off roading.

JB weld it back on brotha!

Dang... really? Well.. my offroading is justa bit of mud (but a nice 3-4 mile stretch of it) and then riding on grass
