| I was looking at scooters, then I saw tubular framed bikes that you strap a harbor freight engine to and have a less ghey looking scooter. Where do you get the kits? Anyone ever build one? |

I don't consider these to even be a mini bike. It's too sophisticated. It's a mini motorcycle. <-- no offence intended This is a mini bike:

Its a 6.5hp china made bike that pulls me around just fine and has held up well so far. Tractor supply sells them for around $600. thats what I want to build using a harbor freight engine. |

Oh man, it's a good thing I didn't know about kits like that when I was a kid. |

I really want one. +1 with more pics of people riding it. Don't have any pics of me on it, but I'm sure I look like one of those circus bears riding a tiny bicycle. It's the perfect bike for riding around city traffic, I'm never afraid of getting a speeding ticket though. |

We've been known to tear around his neighborhood on it. The neighbors always laugh and wave... a 6' 250 lb guy with a huge beard on a bike the size of a tricycle drifting around corners is apparently an amusing sight. |
