Atlas MB3000 newbie to forum from Minnesota!

[jschnetzer]

Greetings everyone. I'm so glad I found this forum. There is not as much information and enthusiasts for mini-bikes compared to old classic car and motorcycle enthusiasts. I have a Atlas MB3000 mini-bike (circa 1972'ish) that I had as a kid growing up on our dairy farm. It had been in a shed for years and years and now I'm restoring it fully. Where do I upload pictures?

Welcome aboard ! :thumbsup: How cool is that that you have your childhood mini bike . There is a member on here right now that has a original Atlas clutch cover for your bike....If you need it .

Love the atlas mine is a tt5000 fun machine but when original engine wore out I put on a HS50 and while it runs great, with the torque converter it wheelies too easily preventing kids from riding it. A number of my adult friends were also thrown off.
