49cc Mini-Chopper re-Build 

I think this is the first time this kid has ever been outdoors.

Damn! Mom is a real smart-ass, ain't she?

Ohh the sweet sweet sound of the gears not being shifted

Never seen someone so afraid of driving a "moped" . I couldn't wait to get mine up to speed when my parents brought me mine on my 15th BD. So i don't know what this kid was about, he seemed scared to death riding it...

lucky kid wish my dad could do somthing like that for me

I like this dad, letting his son learn for himself

We do ride together... There is a short video at the end that shows our first! And no, there is no babying...

let the kid have some fun he has the biggest smile on his face and it was one of his favorite days i bet :)

Thanks! Love working with the hands... Trying to pass on the knowledge!

very nice job on the build. This looks pro built. Shit I've seen pro builds not look this good. Working on mine right now with a Yamaha 2 stroker and welding up the frame. It's gonna be a slow going project but the best builds are the ones done slower. Gives you time to think about the design and how your going to do it.

BOOOOOORING 😴 Might want to teach your kid that he should wear a helmet especially being a first time rider, just because it's a mini chopper doesn't mean he will only get mini injuries.

If anyone knows what the original mfg. name model and year could you please educate me about them? I recently bought a frame and ended up with a badassbike but this is the first time I have ever seen a frame of the same.! Any help would be great

Good dad right there!!! Next time leave mom inside... the kid will grow without the camera and bystander :-)

have a bike almost identical but needs a lot of work. where would I find parts and tires, also need a key for ignition and the gas tank. Says terminator on engine. please help ???

This kid got lucky man. I had to learn on a 1400 screamin eagle and god damn was that a horrible idea. But i learned and i have over 4 years of experience now

Im in the proccess of getting mine back in top shape. Small restore. Its a 4 speed manual no clutch. What oil/transmisson fluid do you use?

i have the same exact bike as this. can you help me out and let me know what sort of parts you used, and how you managed to install break lights. thanks.

a mini chopper doesent look too mini lmao

great job !! i did the same , bought a mini from 2007 [means i dont need indicators here in NL , but do have to use arm signals of course ] stripped it , re spray - refit + new parts , wiring , taillights , used some old harley parts , [horn ,plate-tail light ] and finished up with a really cool mini ride - one of a kind , mini choppers bring smiles to peoples faces , i live in the city of the Dutch TT and we have ,due to the circuit being close by lots of Biker theme days - brit racing day , TT , etc etc , so lots of Bikers , everyone really reacts in a very positive manner as mini choppers arent so well known here yet - if you want to see my finished ride - type mini chopper lowrider bobber , in you tube , you,ll find my 'Punisher-Piglet ' !

Close.. Not Ostrich, it's Emu. :)

Great vid! It made me smile real big! I have 4 sons (only one at home).... I just bought a go kart for my 6 yr. old. I can see Him, Mama & Myself out there doing the same thing u guys did. Man u just can't help loving Ian!... Lil' nervous... but still willing 2 do what Dad says...priceless! I'm in north Alabama.....do I detect a little "Alabama accent" in Mama's voice, on the video?.....Again, Kewl video! Thanks for sharing that part of your lives with us strangers. Have a Super Blessed Week!.....Gus

I remember having some trouble with the gears too at first. Though you learn them quick. Btw what's the max speed on that thing? I have a Keeway Tx 50, but due to the stupid laws in Finland, It's not legal to have it go any faster than 22mph. Though I did remove one choke (which isn't really smart since if I get caught the fine will be around 1000€) so the max speed is about 47mph

should of learned how to ride with a clutch first lol boggin it down in gear.

May I ask where you bought this chopper? Ive been looking all over for these mini choppers.. . The good quality ones, Not the Chinese! Although I do see people that have taken the Chinese Choppers that you can buy and build them up American style, By tearing them down and building them back up with quality aftermarket parts, And some of these people drop in way better engines than whats in them... Like little Yamaha or Honda Thumpers, Which also gives them a performance Gain Ofcourse! BUT... . . . I do know There are some Small American Companies that do build and sell these Choppers with your choice of engine usually.. . But I Dont know where to start to look for these Choppers! Only the Chinese Scooter shops that are in the US pop up Online when I Search for them. Thanks in advance for any help thats Available from these comments or Channel.

I have this same bike cant wait to to tear it apart and put in a 70cc dirtbike engine should get moving pretty quick haha awesome build man.

Very Sweet! I'm just starting to do the same thing, but having major problems trying to identifying what kind and year, it really is. Any comments on that would be greatly helpful. Also did you just find the parts that you wanted off a certain website? But it does look mostly original. U did a great job!

Hi,how are you? I am from Brazil, and i want to build one chopper like yours. I love it, congratulations! Good work! What is this fork ? and what is the wheel size? thanks!

Very nice rebuild I'm not sure about your state but here in Delaware you could get that mini chopper tagged as a moped cause it's 50cc all you would have to do is take it D.M V. and as long as it would pass inspection they would give you a moped tag and I it is bigger than 50cc it would have to pass the same inspection as a motorcycle.

the kid looses his man card has to be told to turn the bike and told he needs to down shift and dad fail for not teaching him at a younger age ive been wrenching/ watching car fixes/ demo derby builds since i could walk and build fail putting all that time and money into that small bike ment for a small kid and worthless build a real motorcycle worth some real money

looks good i got a similar (chinese honda copy 49cc powered) mini chopper except its in much worse condition then yours looked like it was.. do you know the size or where i can buy neck bearings for that frame? my frame is not identicle to yours but probly has the same size neck tube

I have the exact same chopper as you and I need to rebuild I was wondering if I have any advise on we're to get good parts and if there was any tricky parts that you may have encounterd along the way please hit me back with a reply I'm kinda stuck on needing parts

Hey I got the same exact bike! Just got it running was looking for a repaint on it. Any suggestions on the gas tank or the plastic covers as far as sanding? If you could contact me. Nice looking bike!

In CO if its 49cc and has a functioning headlight its street legal.

Did it come with the signals on it? I have a similar bike and I'm trying to put signals on, but not sure where to get a few parts. If you have the information and could help me out, that would be great! Thanks!

lol I built my own mini bike with a 212 cc and a torque converter and it was awesome this looks sweet wish I had that frame I'd put more than a 49cc on it tho....

theres an old motorcycle frame at my local junkyard i might buy it and turn it into a mini chopper i have an old Briggs and Stratton 158cc Flathead push mower engine that i might convert to horizontal

bikes looks really good. i just picked up a bike almost identical to this it doesn't start and i was wondering if you could shed any light on the wiring. (maybe a diagram if you have one) see the key switch wires on mine have been cut and im wondering ifthats why it wont start and im not really sure where to hook them to

Cool .. not for me but I'd ride it:)

Cool .. not for me but I'd ride it:)

i have the same bike check it out on my channel plz ive modifide it alot.all my work i might do a vid on it to night plz and thank you:)

I think before learning to ride thst bike. To you should learn yourself and your son how to put a helmet on. Not been sarcastic or anything just saying No1 rule on a bike Especislly on the roads get your brain protector on. If you come off your dead. Nice bike anyways

Where do these little things come from? I just picked one up, but am having trouble finding the spare parts it needs, specifically the plastic that covers the wheels.

Hi I recently got this bike 2nd hand do you have a manual or wiring digram for it? I need some help putting it back together cheers

I have the same model and I re did mine also. I made it street legal. lights, mirrors, back rest, fm/mp3 radio upgraded the block from a 50cc to a 125cc with a kit

awesome bike man. can't wait to build mine.

Great video. Will you please upload a version it without the transition effects? Some are finding them distracting. Thank you!

after 2 gear you should try helmet at least until you have a feel for the bike

you should add a 140cc dirt bike motor in it

Around here, that would essentially be a moped. This is by far the coolest sounding/looking moped I've ever heard/seen.

This is parent teaching! Learn to build the bike then ride it

Your video brings back memories of a special project my mechanics teacher gave me back in high school; rebuilding a 1984 Kawasaki 440 LTD. It was my first bike rebuild, and even had to use some supplies in my science class and help from one of my dad's co-workers at the post office main hub, who did some plastic welding to rebuild the fuel filter because we didn't even think to use the internet, and the local Kawa dealers didn't have any available. Probably the proudest part. Felt great to accomplish such a project. Nobody else in my school's history got to rebuild a bike, only ever worked on cars. My partner in class and I were also given other rebuild tasks. While all the other students worked on the cars, we go the bike project, and rebuild projects when my teacher would bring in older tools due to our miniscule budget. (the mechanics class got $5000/yr for a budget. To put that into perspective; wood shop got $5000/mo; and every other class got bigger budgets than that) In particular, I think I enjoyed rebuilding the reciprocating bandsaw my teacher picked up at a garage sale for $50. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane! Great looking mini-bike, love the paint job, and the paint scheme! Especially the black and silver 'bat wings'

What size of chain is it I need a chain but I don't know the size

every dad should do a build with their kid...boy or girl.......props pops

Cool mini-chopper. But way to teach your son how to ride like a Squid/Rub without a helmet.

i am rebuilding my one two check it on my channel

So ya iam about to rebuild the same style except a 110cc and Iam probably going to be messaging you alot ha

49cc is street legal in most of these great United states... Highway maybe not.

that thing is fucking awesome!!!

Only part I bought was the carb. The original was swollen, split and didn't seal to the bowl. Fund it on ebay for $8. The only other tricky part was the wiring for the neutral light I installed on the tree. Did not exist on the original. Had to map it out and rewire the harness. Also added tail lights.

I have like the same bike 50cc goes 90k 😳

Dude nice chopper I did the same this a couple years back and I just pulled it out of the garage and started it back up again but you build looks way more professional the mine does

Awsome!

that was a cool project hanks for shareing it

I have the same one and I’m in 8th grade and been riding it sense 4th but nice bike

I want one but with a taller and wider rear wheel....

I have one just like this. I got it in a trade but it was in pieces. Do you know who the maker is or know where I can get a maintenance manual for it?

yo what kind of battery are you running

TheOriginalBillyYo the first song is called "Sail" by Awolnation

Lol mines is automatic and all I need is a seat and a chain

I didn't want the song, I was just correcting your own mistake.

Hmmm... Which mistake is that?

what website did you buy it from? seriously interested in building one. thanks!

you should put a 250 carburetor on it LOL that thing would fly

You said the songs in the description but I can't see it:/

What kind of paint did you use ? +

How can I order one if possible

Gostei

i had a 50cc 4 speed mini chopper and mine was allot stronger then that i wonder why.

14 people didn't read the description

Mine don't work i have to fix it.

Im trying to rebuild mine. To a 125cc any advice on where to get parts and all the parts i would need to have mine working. Who i should go through and what parts are compatible with the motorcycle, lights cables, motor, throttle, battery, seat and painting?

quit feathering the throttle and hammer on it man!

No protective gear for the kid. Where's your head, dad?

Just wondering if anybody knows where to get parts for mini choppers

Cool. I just bought the same model in original trim. Will be tearing it down build it how i want.

Hey would yu ever sell this?

Love it. Great job.

@OneShotKillHD , bought it from a friend of mine for next to nothing. Put about $150 into the refurb. Turned out pretty good!

time to become a man boy haha the kid looks like he plays games 24/7

Nice rebuild ... I have a diablo im going to redo . Thanks for the kickstart

I'm re building my il chopper to , was having a hard time with the wiring though, I was just wanting to wire it up to get kick started, could you tell me what colours go where ? From starter to spark plugs?

How do you keep from getting dust on your stuff when you paint outside like what you did with the frame?

Awsome design!! But you ride like your 7...

Banging tune lush bike

hold on did you paint the engine or buy one in black? if you bought one what did you get and where?

how much do you want for it

Really Like I'd give you $1500...Money aint shit to me!

I just got one of these and im fixing it up. I was wondering where did you guys get your parts from and how long did it take for you guys to get it up and running again? also whats the fastes you guys have gotten this bike to go? the person i got mine from said the last owner had it doing up to 80?

But other than that nice vid

What's the fastest a 49 cc mini chopper can go plz help
