EL TIGER , minibike kits complete roller

Made in cali for drag racing. Sweet deal for what sounds like a nice roller. I would grab it if i was needing a real (big) mini.

Their Nitro 44 and Nitro 50 are drag bike frames; the El Lobo and El Tiger are not.

mini bike frames, complete minibike kits, mini bikes , pit bikes

The kit is $395 + shipping; add the optional hydraulic disc brake and powder coating...

Doesn't sound to bad then he said he paid 650 a few months ago

It's me. I purchased the El Tiger. I seems like a solid bike. I have not completed the bike as other projects (kids' bike , Manco Streaker, and a Coleman for me have found themselves to my garage). I have, so far, painted the frame for El Tiger and made it a roller. I have all the parts, including a Predator 212-- just need to install everything now that the paint should be cured.

I highly recommend these frame/fork sets! I would personally purchase the El Lobo. Great price.

El Tiger: yellow bike

 

[Davis]

Looks good do you know the difference between that and the el lobo?

 

[chopperbunch]

I believe they have the same wheelbase... El Lobo might be taller in height.

 

[Davis]

I got ya it should be a cool one to play with I'm gonna do a tav on it with a mild predator. What drive are you doing on yours?

From barstool racer kits, barstool racer parts, mini bike racers, gokart
"Our newest minibike the El Tiger is the smaller brother of the El Lobo
minibike that is designed for the smaller rider but with plenty of room for
an adult to ride. This minibike will accept the 6.5hp Predator engine
without removing the gas tank."

Right now I have (on the shelf) a clutch from OldMiniBikes, 12t I think. I have an Azusa 72t rear or 60t taco rear sprocket to choose from. Decisions....

 

[Davis]

As far as quality goes would you say it's good? I saw it was made in the USA so that's a bonus.

 

[chopperbunch]

I'm no expert, but I think they are built and designed well. Thick tubing, and yes, made in the USA! If you call the number on the website the owner will probably answer the phone and all of your questions. I spoke with him when ordering and found him to be very helpful. I went with the El Tiger thinking it was smaller than it actually is. If I knew at the time I was keeping this bike for ME, I would have ordered El Lobo, yet I am very pleased with the bike I have received from 909 Bikes (a.k.a minichopperssocal).

 

[Davis]

Thanks you for your input I think I'll do it as it seems better quality than the China stuff.

 

[Davis]

I got the bike last night and it looks good nice welds looks to be built well now to order the tav for it and bolt it all up.

 

[Davis]

Gonna do a mild hemi predator with a tav on it with #40 chain 10 tooth front 54 in rear I hope this ratio works ok with these small ass tires. These bikes have a very tall engine pocket the predator gas cap has a ton of clearance.

 

[chopperbunch]

Are those 8" wheels? If so, that tall frame makes them appear small compared to a standard sized frame. For aesthetic purposes, I would move the seat forward a few inches or more. I added a steel plate to my Tiger for this reason (see photo on previous page). Very cool bike; I look forward to your update-photos! What brand of tires?
