Oh man, would I have loved to have one of these when I was 14, when you could ride one on the streets and the cops would look the other way. And it's a great little scoot for the dirt.
DwightMS1 i used to get away with riding a similar mini bike around town when i was that age.. good times. Later on i sold it to another kid who immediately fucked it up, took it apart, insisted it never ran (lie) and his a-hole parents made me buy it back missing parts and half together.
Moët 111 just an FYI.. some states will let you get a moped license at 14 or 15 and you can find a decent one for under $500. Some have a huge aftermarket support and you can find forums on the matter. They can come out pretty badass. In highschool, I had a Tomos that could hit almost 60.
Those little bikes take a beating from what I've seen. Dirt Every Day did a trail ride on a set of those loaded with gear. However I think they did say the clutch wears out fast. Good addition to the RBG!
Hey Red Beard!I am 13 years old and i am new to go kart builds and sales. I started a go kart build myself in November last year. I will try to send you some pictures of my build now that you have opened up a p.o. box. your channel is were i got most of my go kart knowledge from. thank you for what you do on Red Beard's Garage!
Good review I got mine at Sam’s Club during the Black Friday/Holiday season when it was cheaper. 10 months later after lots of road riding and trail riding, it still runs and starts with no problems. The bike is great for first time riders (like myself after riding a go kart before). I’m sure it’s great for transportation seeing that it will fit in the back of my truck. Just great overall bikes for affordability and reliability.
We just put a torque converter on my friends Coleman, but we had to change the crankshaft because they sometimes have a 5/8 shaft instead of 3/4. My other friends Coleman had a 3/4 shaft and he's getting a torque converter to. Torque converters are must on this bike it makes the bike so much more fun.
Red Beard's Garage awesome can't wait for the video. (one thing to note too is these have plastic cams just like the 1st gen predators, not sure if it's all of them but just a heads up)
I'm 10 and my friend has one of these and man,is it fun,I love riding it around my neighborhood,it's just so fun,I suggest you buy one if your looking for a mini bike
I started out many years ago with a mini bike and now have three dirt bikes and two street bikes. I don't know what it is, but I still love to ride a mini bike. That thing looks like fun.
After much research, and looking to find a minibike from years gone by, I have to say I am happy to say I follow ur content and commited to buying 1 of these newer models......VERY HAPPY I DID AND SO IS MY SON💪🏼
We sell quite a number of these at out farm and ranch store. If you have a solid floor, it's a lot easier to just up-end the bike on its rear carrier to assemble. Also in changing the oil to put in the new oil into the fill hole.
Ct200u from Walmart in Westbury, NY for $399.99 total cost $434.00. I purchased this one because my 7yr old son birthday party coming up so my wife n I ordered him the Coleman 100cc version so we can ride together. Again thanks guys for the great videos and I will be using your links to order upgrades.
I’ve always liked the look of the Coleman mini bike and how they are big. Most mini bikes like moto vox and the other just use the same exact frame and the small frame makes anything larger than a 212 not fit
My coworker bought one we took the jack shaft off set up off!!!! clutch straight chain and strocket set up!!!! Man that thing ran 50 miles and hour I'm like wow!!!!
Every time I go to wal-mart I see this mini bike for sale and I thought it was just a cheaply mini bike but after I saw your video I was actually surprised to its performance!.
Red beard I've been watching your videos for the last 3 months I just bought my son to bt200x b where going to put it together when I get off the road... Great videos
Red Beard's Garage It was one of those deals you can't turn down. Even though I had to convince my wife, but now she and my daughter and I just love it
I got this bike and here is some technical information for you. The factory Hisun engine used to have a 3/4 shaft but coleman switch later to a 5/8 shaft to allow a newer needle bearing designed clutch. Had lots of field issues with the original clutch design. Look at the last six digits of the vin number. If its between 000011 to 037961 then you have a 3/4 shaft. If it's 037962 or later it has the 5/8. I swapped the crankshaft to a GX200 clone crank and was able to get a TAV on it. There isn't a 5/8 shaft TAV available. Don't do like everyone else and predator swap it. I want to see the Hisun engine with upgrades. BTW didn't know you were Tennessean.
I completely agree. There have been no comments, anywhere, that this engine sucks. I would never buy a 212 when I could simply swap out the crank. These Hisuns are basically clones that are just as upgradable as a 212.
i had a mini bajha it was eatin up all my clutches and then my dad finally got done with that and i have had the ct200u for a while know i like it and we have still been working on the bajha it just needs a start
its a good thing they left the back tire on the bike when they packaged it because it is a pain in the butt to install, I run #40 chain on mine, it sure works good.
Glad your doing the Coleman mini as I just got one of these. When you get the EX it would be great if you could try to fit the EX front forks on the 200U. A lot of people would like to know if the forks swap between the 2 models.
Your's clutch might be ok, if not, don't give up on too quick it if it starts squalling and locking. At first I disassembled mine and greased the inner bushing per someone's interweb advice (before discovering RBG) after which it still squalled and locked. Another site commended just oiling the shaft, with out removal. That worked. A couple of drops of 3-in-1 before riding does the trick. Rough ride? I'm running just under 8psi in the front and just under 4psi in the rear. I weight 200lbs and those pressures soften the ride pretty well for me. Keep up the good work, enjoy your site.
My Coleman clutch (16mm shaft) has never seen a single drop of oil and never will. The caged needle bearing in the clutch drum gets grease and has never made noise or locked. I didn't wait for issues, I serviced the clutch before the bike was ridden, among other things. If you have a bushing oil it, if you have a bearing grease it.

isnt hard to put torque converter on. just extendvthe output shaft on driven shaft i mesn so the sproket will line with chain on rear wheel. im sure u can do simply. but yes the jackshaft is geared well for offroad stock
Kayla Pearcey bro we took the jack shaft off and ran the chain to the clutch one chain system got 50!!!! But down have a great take off but she fly!!!!
Thanks for the video. I was thinking of buying one for a pit bike. Also, easy to work on motor switch etc... blows up, go to harbor frieght and buy a new motor for less than $100. Perfect pit bike i think.
I have a Coleman CT200U. When cranking the bike, it automatically accelerates. Thought it might be the clutch, but it looks good. It's about 2 years old and hasn't been ridden that much. The grand-kids are getting older and would like to get it up and going again. Thanks.
Own one, love it. My advice, replace the clutch. It is about the only thing that sucks about this bike. Especially if you are about the size of Red Beard or larger.
We got the 100ctx for our youngest son last year and I think I might have to get this for me this year. So we can ride together. Not me being selfish at all;) Superfun minibike and built solid as could be.
I just picked one up slightly used off facebook marketplace local to me for $320- doubt it's had more than a few tanks put through it and the tires aren't worn much. One broken foot peg where it got laid down at some time. Yeah the stock clutch is a bit jerky but for the money what a great, simple little toy!
Reminds me of the old manco bikes.. i had one of the slightly better ones with “suspension” a while back and still regret leaving it with a neighbor when i moved out the house.
Just got this bike for 514 out the door at Camping World in Kenosha WI. They matched their in-store price down to their on-line price(how does that work?!) and in got $60 off for joining their club for a year, i think it was $90 off if you were a club member already. And then got another like 10-15% off from the cashier lady for some reason in her scan book. I think I’ve shopped at a Camping World at one time or another before, so maybe something showed up with email after I signed up for their member ship. Can’t guarantee the last 10% for everyone but, go online, find one in stock at the closest Camping World, then just show up and they’ll price match.
I just ordered one of these (Sunday), expecting to see it arrive Wednesday. I'm intending to use it to get me from the road across the field to where my tree stand is for deer this fall. I'm also planning on using a game sled to drag behind it to get my deer back across that field and to my car.
Thanks for the reply, Red. I'll try and remember to post back on here about my experience with using it after deer season. Having a minibike should only add to the fun I'll already be getting with hunting. btw...I also have a red beard, although not nearly as cool a beard (sadly, a bit of gray is creeping into it at the bottom middle) as yours.
Letting you know that I just now put my new CT200U together and took it out for its first spin. It started on the first pull, and I was amazed at how well it accelerates, even though I'm admittedly not a cycle guy of any sort. It did quite well at accelerating and response, even though I'm very big, 255lbs and 6'4". I can't wait to take this little jewel across the field to and from my tree stand! I'll report back on how it serves in that capacity.
this Coleman mini bike is offered at many different vendors the best price I found Walmart ordered online free shipping got it on rollback cost me $429... check it out people
Looking at getting a couple of these for me and my kiddos. After looking at specs I noticed weight capacity is rated at 200 lbs. for the kids this is absolutely no issue, me on the other hand I’m pushing 220 lbs. Can you tell me if that is accurate?
Hey! This is the first vid I've seen on your channel. I loved the vid, you sound like a great person and you sound very honest keep up the good work. Also, do you know what # speed/ how many gears the engine has
It's a good thing you checked that directional arrow on that tire, otherwise you set up an unstable rotational vibration convergence. The result of which could cause a condition known as Dirt Torpedo. The first sign of this is when you say OHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT.
What a great little bike! But did you need the three boards underneath? Plus it would have made more sense to get the front wheel out from underneath, then use the boards to help the assembled the front end. But nice job regardless! I Remember in the late 60's early 70's in my mini bike days, I had a basic Fox with a3.5 hp B&S, that was fun but not very much power. My friend across the street had a bought new Sears mini bike, that had a 4 hp Tecumseh, with a jack shaft like on yours, but it had a two speed arrangement that really helped! Enough so he could leave a little rubber mark on cement when taking off!! It was also great climbing hills! It was actually quicker and faster than the Honda CL 70 in the day! I will subscribe to see the one you get with front suspension! I would like to see what they look like without those silly racks! That just add weight! I've found a back pack works just as well!
Hey bro I will tell you I love my Coleman CTU 200 I own three of them two of them are still in the box I bought them at Walmart I don't want to tell you what I paid for him but I got a screaming deal after the holidays my son and I beat The Living Daylights out of these bikes we just love them
Seen your channel mentioned on another kart channel had to check it out. Checked out several video's so far. Wow! Really nice content/video's you have! A channel owner that even responds to random comments. Heck yeah - subscribed and a like is well deserved by all means! Great logic and purchase on the mini bike. Very nice for the $$$. Never cared for that 35 chain either. Hours of fun awaits. My turn? Time to go check out some more of your vid's!

Looking for an opinion here. I live in a pretty urban environment, no dirt riding anywhere close (Fort Lauderdale, beach area) So all asphalt riding only. The little bike looks sooo much fun! (and that's coming from someone who sold a Vmax a few months ago, lol) Do they make slick version tires at that size, for this bike? And is it safe to share a road with cars, as long as I'm keeping up with traffic? Drivers here are obnoxiously bad, and the fact that you're crouching down like that doesn't help with visibility. Any south Florida owners here can pitch in? I would avoid busy roads as much as feasible. FYI - I'm posting this same question on other review vids, in case you've seen this before 😉
Red beard. Weight limit is 200. What do you think it can handle. I have a 200u. Just wondering I have very big friends. Don't want to break it but don't want to hurt my friends feelings telling them there to big. Thanks for the video.
Have been toying with buying one of these to cruise up and down the beach. Of course would rather build my own fat tire mini bike, but do not have the space currently. Can't wait to see how it performs with performance parts. Would you please measure its speed stock then with the TQ-verter, followed by other goodies? Be nice to see what each steps gets you.
I found this thing at my princess auto today (Canadian harbour freight) on sale, I can’t remember the price. It looks good in a vid and better in person. Not bad for the price, but I never caught who made the motor? Did you see?
dude red beard you need to put a front and rear suspension on it and a torque converter and some upgrade i know that's asking a lot lol but whatever you do i know it will be cool
You should use conventional oil for proper engine break in , not synthetic Switch to synthetic oil after engine break in ... Engine does not wear in with synthetic......
my friend has a Colman ct200u and he swapped the motor to a predator and a torque converter and it does wheelies, really fun
That ain’t a luggage rack.... my inner kid tells me that’s a seat for a friend

And then got another like 10-15% off from the cashier lady for some reason in her scan book. I think I’ve shopped at a Camping World at one time or another before, so maybe something showed up with email after I signed up for their member ship. Can’t guarantee the last 10% for everyone but, go online, find one in stock at the closest Camping World, then just show up and they’ll price match.
I just ordered one of these (Sunday), expecting to see it arrive Wednesday.
I'm intending to use it to get me from the road across the field to where my tree stand is for deer this fall.
I'm also planning on using a game sled to drag behind it to get my deer back across that field and to my car.
+PinkOld should work great for that.
Thanks for the reply, Red.
I'll try and remember to post back on here about my experience with using it after deer season.
Having a minibike should only add to the fun I'll already be getting with hunting.
btw...I also have a red beard, although not nearly as cool a beard (sadly, a bit of gray is creeping into it at the bottom middle) as yours.
Letting you know that I just now put my new CT200U together and took it out for its first spin.
It started on the first pull, and I was amazed at how well it accelerates, even though I'm admittedly not a cycle guy of any sort.
It did quite well at accelerating and response, even though I'm very big, 255lbs and 6'4".
I can't wait to take this little jewel across the field to and from my tree stand!
I'll report back on how it serves in that capacity.
I thought the same thing when the clutch came into full view. That you're much better off with a torque converter.
8:15 ~ When jacking the bike up on the wood, you could use the kick stand to secure it as well. It is probably a bit more sturdy.
this Coleman mini bike is offered at many different vendors the best price I found Walmart ordered online free shipping got it on rollback cost me $429... check it out people
Great bike for the wife, picked one up today for $450 @ RUNNINGS.
My dad got me one for 500 too but i dident have to put it together .best thing ever
Awesome video as always Greg!
Looking at getting a couple of these for me and my kiddos. After looking at specs I noticed weight capacity is rated at 200 lbs. for the kids this is absolutely no issue, me on the other hand I’m pushing 220 lbs. Can you tell me if that is accurate?
Hey! This is the first vid I've seen on your channel. I loved the vid, you sound like a great person and you sound very honest keep up the good work. Also, do you know what # speed/ how many gears the engine has
Travis the Tractor it is automatic and go 20
No gears, just one fixed speed. It has the clutch that comes with it.
It's a good thing you checked that directional arrow on that tire, otherwise you set up an unstable rotational vibration convergence. The result of which could cause a condition known as Dirt Torpedo. The first sign of this is when you say OHSHITOHSHITOHSHIT.
What a great little bike! But did you need the three boards underneath? Plus it would have made more sense to get the front wheel out from underneath, then use the boards to help the assembled the front end. But nice job regardless! I Remember in the late 60's early 70's in my mini bike days, I had a basic Fox with a3.5 hp B&S, that was fun but not very much power. My friend across the street had a bought new Sears mini bike, that had a 4 hp Tecumseh, with a jack shaft like on yours, but it had a two speed arrangement that really helped! Enough so he could leave a little rubber mark on cement when taking off!! It was also great climbing hills! It was actually quicker and faster than the Honda CL 70 in the day! I will subscribe to see the one you get with front suspension! I would like to see what they look like without those silly racks! That just add weight! I've found a back pack works just as well!
Gonna be setting mine up this Monday! Can’t wait😂 neighbor has one and I’ve been jealous as hell the last couple weeks😭😂
God bless spread his word!
Awesome video. I recently purchased the 100 for my 10 yr old and we love it! Thinking on this 200 for me!!! Thank you
Don't forget to weld a piece of conduit between the handlebars. If you don't they WILL be bent by the end of the week.
I was taught that a lock washer goes between a flat washer & the nut & never on top of a bearing. as a spacer.
Getting one for Christmas from tractor supply co can't wait
I got the new one with the head light and box and it's great it's super fast too
Yeah we got it as well. Next week will be on the ex
Haha! Pulled ya up the hill pretty good! I'll remember Red Beard. Thanks bud!
Just got one does wheelies stock. lots of torque.
Hey bro I will tell you I love my Coleman CTU 200 I own three of them two of them are still in the box I bought them at Walmart I don't want to tell you what I paid for him but I got a screaming deal after the holidays my son and I beat The Living Daylights out of these bikes we just love them
That front luggage bar is just the size for a 12 pack of beer, don't forget the bungee word. Yeeee haww
Seen your channel mentioned on another kart channel had to check it out. Checked out several video's so far. Wow! Really nice content/video's you have! A channel owner that even responds to random comments. Heck yeah - subscribed and a like is well deserved by all means! Great logic and purchase on the mini bike. Very nice for the $$$. Never cared for that 35 chain either. Hours of fun awaits. My turn? Time to go check out some more of your vid's!
+2jeffs1 thanks for watching man. It's always nice seeing people enjoying the videos
I HAVE A GREAT CUSTOM MINI-BIKE VIDEO HERE!!!

Its probably the best unboxing of a mini bike keep it up
That looks just like a Baja with bigger tires.does it ride the same.looks cool.i have a Baja with 212 my tires are smaller.
I am going to get two new ones. Coleman CT200U!
Looking for an opinion here. I live in a pretty urban environment, no dirt riding anywhere close (Fort Lauderdale, beach area) So all asphalt riding only. The little bike looks sooo much fun! (and that's coming from someone who sold a Vmax a few months ago, lol)
Do they make slick version tires at that size, for this bike? And is it safe to share a road with cars, as long as I'm keeping up with traffic? Drivers here are obnoxiously bad, and the fact that you're crouching down like that doesn't help with visibility. Any south Florida owners here can pitch in? I would avoid busy roads as much as feasible.
FYI - I'm posting this same question on other review vids, in case you've seen this before 😉
THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO GET AROUND! Savings is low, time to save again.
The tires look pricey compared to the doodlebug, or motovox??
just picked one up in "camo" at the Coleman "outlet" store in Albany (Wolf Rd next to Trader Joe's) for $399!
Red beard. Weight limit is 200. What do you think it can handle. I have a 200u. Just wondering I have very big friends. Don't want to break it but don't want to hurt my friends feelings telling them there to big. Thanks for the video.
Hey Redbeard you should put a 670 engine and a torque converter on it that would be a really nice bike
I would probably die. Lol
Red Beard's Garage I would like to see you build one before some one else
Have been toying with buying one of these to cruise up and down the beach. Of course would rather build my own fat tire mini bike, but do not have the space currently. Can't wait to see how it performs with performance parts. Would you please measure its speed stock then with the TQ-verter, followed by other goodies? Be nice to see what each steps gets you.
Yes sir. The videos on the performance parts will be out in a couple of weeks
it's like Christmas!
Thank you for the info I got a razor motorcycle a first and the battery broke so now I’m getting the bike he is reviewing!👌🏻😁Thanks I Subscribe!👍🏼
I found this thing at my princess auto today (Canadian harbour freight) on sale, I can’t remember the price. It looks good in a vid and better in person. Not bad for the price, but I never caught who made the motor? Did you see?
Hison i believe is the company
dude red beard you need to put a front and rear suspension on it and a torque converter and some upgrade i know that's asking a lot lol but whatever you do i know it will be cool
Parts are in the mail so stay tuned
That thing looks sick
You should use conventional oil for proper engine break in , not synthetic
Switch to synthetic oil after engine break in ...
Engine does not wear in with synthetic......
My friend has this same minibike and on his you have to give a ton of throttle to get it to start moving, not sure if it’s just his or not
I see it's rated for 220 lbs. I'm 250 lbs and you look over 220 lbs also. Will 250 lbs be a problem do you think?
