The Mini Rat

[CB4]

This is a 70's Sears Mini Bike that I rebuilt. It has a 6.5 hp tecumseh.
The frame is powdercoated in "Chrome Smoke" with a sparkle clear coat. The rims are powdercoated flame red.
Other features include sawtooth tires, wrapped exhaust and a 1930's faucet knob atop the fork bolt.

It will do about 35 mph and does a mean burnout in the garage.

That thing is cool. Is it hard to ride/balance with the motor offset that far?

it's pretty squirrely, but I dont think it's from the offset engine. The short wheel base, semi-high bars, and 6.5 hp on it make it a real handful. It's fun as heck though.

All you need now is some white walls. :wink:
