Hands down oh yeah on the Chevette! Y'all going to have fun with the mini bike!! John looks excited to jump on getting this build rolling. Really simple builds there, straight forward design! Ironically enough, there's one for sale one town over from me same color and all for twenty five dollars as well. However, it's missing so much.. motor, wheels ect..ect.. it's a pass for me. Looking forward to this build and as always, blessings and respect my man! Salute!

That Diesel Chevette might be ok, but I think they only had like 50-60HP if that even LOL. Not going to win any races, but you'll pass a few gas stations between fillups...at least I'd hope so given diesel is $6/gal. in my area at least. One of those little mini bikes would be cool for running around town on, at least where I live, once you are in the "city" limits the speed limit on most streets is 25mph or below, and although very slow, many people seem to have a problem even driving that slow of a speed LOL, they putz around everywhere here, may as well just drive a golf cart around town as slow as these people drive...so a mini bike, or in my case an E-Bike works extremely well...thinking of selling it though and buying one of the Lectric folding E-Bikes so I can put it in the trunk of my car if need be. That mini bike is definitely a good project for John. That'll give John a bit of growing room on that bike. Its a little bigger than a Pit Bike, but smaller than a dirt bike I think but not by much. 49CC geared properly will move out pretty well, but for John right now till he gets used to it, slow is good enough LOL.

I have worked on one of those and the engine is just so so, not usualy enough power to start off on anything other than flat ground. You might be better off tossing in a honda clone of some type with a jackshaft if you need to. Or you could port the two stroke and build a pipe for it, that might make it have some more get up and go. Build a simple Iron Horse pipe for it with some mild porting and you might have somthing fun. A simple degree wheel and some dremel bits and off you go. My chainsaw porting video might give you some insight into that.

Engine swap to a predator or one of those duromax engines . By far easier to do and more reliable than those 2 stroke engines on those . Not to mention those are geared for on road so John would have troubles off roading that set up

I found the same thing. Got a good deal on a Baja 200 and got a mini chopper with it, the bike in the video is an APC chopper. Mine is a no name bought from like pep boys. Can find a brand new motor for it, but nothing else. Mine has disc brakes, which I cannot find anywhere.

"Legal" is only a concern if you're intending to use it for street transportation, otherwise you can get generic GY6 and/or scooter parts for cheap and go nuts with the thing. There were an absolute ton of companies that put these out between the 70s to late 80s, so tracking down replacement parts could be tough at best, though not particularly thrifty as vintage stuff goes. That one looks a little newer, but hard to say. Getting a number off the engine will help narrow the timeframe down.
