As I hang around the minibike crowd, so many people just want to add a 212 to everything - and I understand that. I have two other bikes that will have 212's on them when I'm done with them.
However, my recent purchase of an Asuza minibike has a 6HP Tecumseh engine.
I also have a new Coleman CC100X with a 97cc engine and I won't be making any changes to that for now.
My goal is to have a bike or two that my almost 7 year old son and some slightly old children will be able to ride without so much power.
What I am considering, is to replace the 6HP Tecumseh with something half that size (for now). I have a few engines in my shop but nothing smaller than 5HP. I am considering the Predator 79cc from Harbor Freight. The bummer is that it's only $5 less than a 212!
Ultimately, as my son gets older and taller, I hope that we can upgrade and tweak the bikes together!
