Any ideas??

Just bought this beauty! Me and my sons are going to rebuild it hoping to get them off video games at least for awhile lol. Does anybody know anything about this bike? It has handle bar controls, speedometer, fuel gauge etc. Any info greatly appreciated.

Chinese made Wuan Hong Lo. Not much collector value unless you can find Hong Lo and sell it back to him,

Haha thanks for the info. The only value I care about is the time fixing it up with my boys

I commend and applaud you with your intent as a dad. I did the same thing with my son 14 years ago when he was 12 years old at the time. He caught the minibike "fever" and in the process really developed his mechanical skills and learned about tools how to use tool properly. That being said the particular bike you have selected is considered a big "TURD" and you will not get much love for that style/make of bike from the members on this forum. There are some other bikes out there that would make a much better father/sons project.

Thanks Michael, is it just a crappy bike? What one would you recommend as a good project bike?

welcome to the forum and minibikes are certainly a cool way to make memories and teach skills to your boys, the choice of bikes might be tough depending on your fabrication skills and originality means nothing on that bike so whatever it takes to get it rolling with a power plant will have them hooked,and seeing that there is 3 of you your going to have to buy more bikes anyway lol, next time you find something get on the forum and ask some questions before you buy it, have a good time and share some progress with us, there's alot of answers here, enjoy.

If I were going to do a bike project I'd hop on Craigslist or Facebook market place and find any classic mini bike and fix it up. Bi am a huge fan of the coleman bikes for new stuff. You can usually find some beat up ones.

Nothing wrong those APC Mini Choppers. Just not a style that is as popular here on this site. They also aren't set up for most engines like Briggs, Tecumseh, Honda, or Predator. But those engines can be used with modifications to the frame. Still would be a good project and learning experience for your sons.

We run our APC Chopper as a candy-striped parade bike. The Clown-owner loves it. It will take some getting used-to with the two rear wheels. We got lots of parts from SDScooters. We run our original engine on 20:1 rec90 and Seafoam.
Good first project.
