Watching your videos is like a breath of fresh air, in from northern michigan and everyone up here think they need dirt bikes or 5000 dollar quads, I have always been a believer in the predator motors I have them on my air compressors and I just put one on my snowblower and just knowing there is support for these types of motors for upgrades and stuff is amazing! I try explaining to people they dont need a dirtbike that goes 90 mph because they will never hit that in the woods but a coleman 200u is perfect even at 25 mph thats all you need in the woods having fun thank you for showing everyone that it is possible to have a great time with minimal money. You guys are amazing keep up the great work! Now I think I want to go build my coleman 200u into a trike lol
I love that thing! Reminds me of the three wheeler Manco made in the 80s. That thing was a tank with a 301. Maybe that’s what should go in yours next. Great job guys! Always look forward to watching you guys!
Man brother you'll never be accused of going easy on your builds thats for damn sure!! You ride em hard and definitely put em away wet!!! Lol love it! Looks like some good clean (dirty) fun!!!
⬇️ Also if you do the air box upgrade, if you want the lost horsepower and torque from the air box delete back then you should get an Iridium spark plug.
Glad to see ya'll wearing helmets, especially on the trike! I would hate to see you confined to the mobility kart for the rest of your life! Love the extra riding footage to go with the builds!
Well if he did have an accident without a helmet & had 2 use a mobility scooter 2 get around,he happens 2 have 1 in his arsenal of toys that is absolutely sick!...
Man that takes me back to riding in the 80's. Honda 110 then the 185 and then the 350x. The safety sallie's killed the 3 wheelers. The 4 wheeler just wasn't as fun .
I love the song you have adopted lately for your theme music, but you should consider giving them some props/credit space on the intro or something. Awesome videos, keep it up!
RED BEARD THE FRONT SPROCKET NEEDS TO BE RIGHT AT THE PIVOT POINT OF THE SWING ARM. MOUNT A JACK SHAFT ON THE SWING ARM ABOVE THE PIVOT BOLT.YOU WILL HAVE A FRONT CHAIN GOING FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO A 12 TOOTH SPROCKET ON ONE SIDE AND A REAR CHAIN FROM THE JACK SHAFT ON THE OTHER SIDE TO THE BACK SPROCKET. AS THE SWING ARM GOES UP AND DOWN THE TENSION WON'T CHANGE.THE FRONT CHAIN MIGHT NEED A SMALL TENSIONER .TAKE THE SHOCK OFF SO YOU CAN TEST THE MOVEMENT OF THE ARM BETTER. LET ME KNOW IF YOU READ THIS GOOD LUCK, MARTIN
It looks like the front forks could stand to be 2-3 inches longer instead of putting handle bar spacers on it. You might find it will handle better as well.
If u can find a thumb throttle for those 3 wheelers. Much safer and easier to hold on without a twist throttle. Just my opinion. I started on minibike myself in 1980. About 2 or 3 years later i got my first honda atc 90. Anther year or 2 later got my first full suspension honda atc200x. Still one of my favorates. In 2001 i got my first 4 wheeler. Honda trx400ex, then in 2004 i bought a trx450r, with full HRC kit, widened it out to 50 inches wide, had suspension on reworked to my low weight and put pipe on it. Omg that thing ripped. It was stolen about 4 years ago. Oh one more thing. 18 inch flattrack tires improve cornering on an atc or trike. Stays planted on 3 wheels better. Have u thought of trying manual clutch on the trike. For wheelies itd be nice
Hey, whatever happened to the Odyssey? just a quick question, dont you ever want to use an engine in your builds that has a lot more power? lol happy building.
Have you done any cvt work on your 150 buggy? (weights, clutch springs, torque spring) That trike need to go to the next level, time to call duromax for another 18hp :)
Red Beard's Garage I had a chinese atv with a gy6 150cc like in your buggy. 2 grams lighter weight (12 i think stock) red secondary clutch spring (or they call it 2000rpm spring) and red centrifugal clutch springs, you won't recognize it. The centrifugal springs will help with stationary take off but you have to make sure to not make the pads slipping because you'll burn the bell in no time. Weights will improve primary ratio rpm, driven spring will help with backshifting, very useful when you try to go up a hill the engine won't bog down before the cvt reduce the gearing. I tried the yellow setup (1500rpm) but i went back to the red setup. In something as heavy has your buggy, I would go straight to the red ones. I'm impatient to see how it comes out!
Honestly I'm shocked Coleman or something hasn't made one of these or Gio, tao tao linhai or hisun could make a copy of Honda's 3 wheelers. I wonder what it would be like with a 200cc gy6 instead of the normal Chinese 200cc engines.
@@connorssmallengines6663 trikes are not illegal they had a 10 year ban from 1987-1997 that was more of a gentleman's agreement to not produce them. Ones that were already manufactured before that are still registrable. The ban has been over for years now and a couple company's have tried to make them again Honda included with no success due to the cost to purchase one being as high as a 4x4 atv. Trikes are also not very dangerous with knowledge and practice they are just as safe as any 4 wheel atv and provide more manuverability for tight forest trails. I own 3 and there is a huge following behind them, there is what's called trike fest every year. pretty much every state and province will have one.
Well i think if we did not have harbor freight around here in mississippi and Tennessee or the south for that matter we would not get nothing done. Your shops like mine. Full of there tools.
You should make a reverse trike minibike, it basically solves all the problems of a conventional trike. With only 1 back wheel it steers easy, so cornering is MUCH more predictable. It's also less tippy under braking. Brake and sprocket are built into the rear wheel so they're done already, and well protected. Here's a picture of one I made: data.amirite.net/user_images/59920486cc5d6.jpg
It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but the footrests are like snowmobile running boards. They're just a piece of small angle iron going from near the rear axle to near the wheel on the front axle to form the edge of the running board, then it's filled in with expanded metal, so it doesn't hold dirt. Hand throttle, hand brake, suicide shifter. Super fun.
Hey there red beard! New subscriber here! I'm going to be working on a predator engine soon and I wanted to say thanks for the discount at gopowersports.com
I'm a fan of your channel and your work but for the love of god put a helmet and eye protection on your daughter! A stick in her eyeball or her head split open on a roll over would not be cool.
Very impressive on trike. Looks really stable for a three wheeler.
You should eventually make it into a quad, I like the trike too
All that work and still have the kickstand on it lol but I love the build!

You know your Raisin HELL when The Dollar General ask you to leave! Love that Trike Red BEARD!
Lol
Trike does look like a lot of fun! Love it! I agree on the handle bar extensions. Don't need much, but they look like they'd help.
Just got my 3rd Coleman CT200U Red Beard! Just so much fun! Thanks for the awesome videos Danny
Need to get you a Colman BT200x 💪😏 luv mine✔️✔️
Nothing like having fun with friends and family and raising hell at the local dollar store!
I love that thing! Reminds me of the three wheeler Manco made in the 80s. That thing was a tank with a 301. Maybe that’s what should go in yours next. Great job guys! Always look forward to watching you guys!
Yes it does! I really wish ATV manufacturers would bring back a high-value small adult capable machine. Sort of like sea-doo did with original Spark.
Man brother you'll never be accused of going easy on your builds thats for damn sure!! You ride em hard and definitely put em away wet!!! Lol love it! Looks like some good clean (dirty) fun!!!
nice .made me miss my ATC it was a 1985 Honda 200s
The ATC is a nice build, but I would still like to a stretched trail utility bike. Keep up the good work!
I bet when you're in the mud you got the mini bike feel, with the go kart stability!
⬇️ Also if you do the air box upgrade, if you want the lost horsepower and torque from the air box delete back then you should get an Iridium spark plug.
gotta love mud holing behind the dollar general!!!
Looks like y'all had a blast looked fun
Suspension looks awesome!
Awesome build RBG!
Glad to see ya'll wearing helmets, especially on the trike! I would hate to see you confined to the mobility kart for the rest of your life! Love the extra riding footage to go with the builds!
Except for the young Miss they where obviously she doesn't count as important enough !
Well if he did have an accident without a helmet & had 2 use a mobility scooter 2 get around,he happens 2 have 1 in his arsenal of toys that is absolutely sick!...
That's how muddy Oregon is every winter. My coat weighed about 30 pounds with all the mud on it after my last ride.
The trike is awesome! It needs some rear fenders, maybe that would keep water and mud off the air filter too.
Yeah I just have to get another one to match and we will mount them
Intro is awesome!
Trike is pretty cool I bult one that is similar but I used a 110cc atv swing arm worked out great got your breaks and chain adjustment all right there
Looking great. Nice job
Just watched Daily Planet... I loved it. That’ll definitely help your publicity. Should have mentioned the 670 fire lol. Looked great!
Thanks for watching it man.
You should put plastics from a three wheel atv on it!
You guys are so sketchy and I love it. Keep up the great sketchyness.
Looks like allot of fun.Good Video.......
That thing is awesome I was gonna bud one of those, but you should put a 125 shifter or something bigger on it
We need to get some big ATV balloon tires on this thing as soon as possible. 😊❤😊
We actually sold this years ago. It would have been nice with some on it for sure.
Awe man, thanks for the update though!
Super sweet build 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes i was waiting for this video to come out i love the trike build bud!
🎵"just chilling riding my mini bike" omg that song killed me bro lmao
Lol its a classic
Name of song
Man that takes me back to riding in the 80's. Honda 110 then the 185 and then the 350x. The safety sallie's killed the 3 wheelers. The 4 wheeler just wasn't as fun .
I love the song you have adopted lately for your theme music, but you should consider giving them some props/credit space on the intro or something. Awesome videos, keep it up!
Love the background music choices man!!
you should make that boat sandbox into a gokart lol
Lol that would be a good one

The trick needs a 670cc in it
It looks like the front forks could stand to be 2-3 inches longer instead of putting handle bar spacers on it. You might find it will handle better as well.
All that would do is raise the bike up not the handle bars
Might get away with it a little longer with some quieter mufflers.
Yeeeeeeeeeehaaawwww!! From Walter Hill TN!!!
Yall are my idols you guys are the reason i built mini bike!!
Y don’t u get a hammerhead 250 go kart with rear indipendet suspension for trail riding?
could you use pvc pipe to rout the intake to under where your tank will be, then make a shield on bottom and sides?
Yes sir I could. we are going to experiment with it soon

Yo sorry to bother but if you don’t mind sharing how do the brakes work and how did you set them up
Nice build, which minibike is that your riding at the video ? Goes through that mud pretty darn good ! Leave no man behind !!!
Ct200u-ex
You should start making them an sell them I bit you could get like $850 or 950 for them.. Great video brother 👍🏆
Is the trike more comfortable to ride off road than the mini bike? Seems like you don't gotta worry about tipping over as much
I like it way more than I thought I would. Its pretty stable
Hey, whatever happened to the Odyssey? just a quick question, dont you ever want to use an engine in your builds that has a lot more power? lol happy building.
BigDaddy I remember hearing he got rid of it
Can you guys make a bar stool racer plsssss
I was hoping to see something burn down. Maybe next time.
Nice
How does dirt, mud, and water affect the life of torque converters over time?
chews up belts and chains both pretty quick
Have you done any cvt work on your 150 buggy? (weights, clutch springs, torque spring)
That trike need to go to the next level, time to call duromax for another 18hp :)
We have not sir. I plan on doing some soon on a video

@@ProbeGT2 stock is 14
what is the song you used about riding around on the minibike???
Now use should reverse it two at the front on in the rear
Bigger motor wider rear axle and add some gears
the trike is cool wish u would of out a 420 on it thoe
I have a stage 3 212 predator with a sigma 6 nitrous kit. How difficult would it be to do the conversion on an mb200 Baja heat
what kind of side by side is that?
That thing is BEGGING for that 200cc lifan or whatever it is. The gokart transmissions are just not cutting it for a build that good.
Yeah I want to do something good on it to make it spin the tires easy
Name of the song 😆 but sick build !!
I live in tennessee
Um how can I buy that tric?? Seriously I have been looking everywhere and can't find one?
Who was the band in the opening
Wow, 14th comment? I’m getting better lol. What do you do outside of working on bikes for a living?
Nothing lol
Now how does that pay the bills 😂😂
Hi
Put a bigger motor on the trike
Its getting a Honda gx340 soon
Tenho uma mobillete com esse motor
Honestly I'm shocked Coleman or something hasn't made one of these or Gio, tao tao linhai or hisun could make a copy of Honda's 3 wheelers. I wonder what it would be like with a 200cc gy6 instead of the normal Chinese 200cc engines.

Wow, 6 comments?! I'm early! ;)
Crazy cal no you’re late
You had to leave? Why? Were you disturbing the pleasant shopping experience of the Dollar General customers?
The customers was complaining lol
These people are just joy kill.
I was gonna ask if the cops have ever been called or anyone has ever complained about yall riding there or on the side of the street.
We have only seen the cops a time or two but they know we aren't bothering anyone
Do you like thumb throttles?
Better control especially while turning
Aaron Goodwillie and when you do wheelies
Yeah I do. Im going to use some on a few projects soon
Red Beard's Garage I have one on my mini bike and it's much better than the original one
OG SPMEX what minibike because I just broke the throttle on my coleman and I need a thumb throttle
What happend to this trike ?
Bad news is I took a shower this morning.....😰
james craghead why is that so bad?
lance kippenbrock
Idk... But that's what the kid said after being splashed in the vid
Just don't try to caught on fire lol

Quit calling it mini bike Monday. It’s not even a mini bike anymore😞
