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'
by far the coolest 49cc bikes ive seen, i had one when i was around the age of 4 but didnt have gears, by far the coolest one ive seen, id hope to see ur son grow up and become a motorcyclist, I think your son is probably one of the coolest kids ive seen to actually want to do this too, where i live my motorcycle and dirtbike hobby is frowned at and nobody wants to get to know me for who i actually am because of that
Roku Playz Thanks for the comments! Yes, he is still interested in motorcycles and don't worry about what others think. As the saying goes, you just need to do you and haters gonna hate. As long as you are happy, no one can bring you down with their negativity. Take care.
the kid in the red shirt !!!! damn he may be a big kid but damn i think its great his dad and mom took the time to build that for him and did this video
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
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
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
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.
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.
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 ???
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!
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!
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
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?
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!
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.
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
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
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
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?
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?
Joc Sartor I fabricated everything that I needed. You may have to do the same. The engine is a Chinese version of a Honda Z50 and all parts are compatible. I’d start there. Good luck.

Thanks. That was the point behind the whole project. Tearing something apart, making it your own and having the satisfaction you completed something tangible. Makes for good memories.
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....
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
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
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 ' !
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!
Most parts were fabricated at home. Only actual purchased part was the carb (off ebay), since the bowl was cracked, warped and wouldn't seal. The engine is a Chinese made Honda 70 clone. Honda parts for this motor just bolt on and are still widely available. Thanks for the comment and good luck on your build. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_70
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.
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 know I'm very late on this video but could you please tell me the name of the song that was playing when it first came on I'm not going to lie I don't listen to rock and roll but that's freaking dope
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.
+Rasmus aiger it is just a cutoff exhaust the more homemade the pipe the louder it is mine is too loud for my neighborhood the longer the pipe more power for some and that thing has more than 49cc
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...
Yeah, that's a 49cc 2-stroke. Sounds different than a 4-stroke. 2's sound like this one, like a buzzing, 4's sound more like popping or snapping. And you can see on the bike that it's a moped engine. I've had a similar one for 5 years...

every dad should do a build with their kid...boy or girl.......props pops
Around here, that would essentially be a moped. This is by far the coolest sounding/looking moped I've ever heard/seen.

the kid in the red shirt !!!! damn he may be a big kid but damn i think its great his dad and mom took the time to build that for him and did this video
Where did u order the parts from
@@batmedicate2243 All parts were fabricated. Except for carburator. Bought on ebay.
awesome job. always great seeing father and son doing work together
Ohh the sweet sweet sound of the gears not being shifted
Damn! Mom is a real smart-ass, ain't she?
I like this dad, letting his son learn for himself

Not the best thing to learn on, but what a nice job you did building it. Small bike's are going to be the next big thing.
Thats A PERFECT thing to learn on it teaches you how to do bondo work paint, stripes/flames, and small engine work

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