Help identify this mini bike, im new to this

[1nutgarage]

I just picked up this mini bike, unsure if its home made or what it is. It's really heavy and no markings. If anyone could help that would be great

Sorry I think I posted in the wrong area and I cant figure out how to delete this to make a new one.

That looks to be homemade.

This what I was thinking but I'm new to the mini bike world. My father in law messes with these but hes 10+ hours away lol

Its older and fun.. Very possibly homemade. ..
Our red flag warning is the rear wheel too far foreword. .its going to be a wheelie machine...be careful. ..

Thanks for the welcome, I just picked up a 212 for it, as for wheelies goes, it will forsure. I sat on it just a bit far back and the front end comes right up with no power lol

I want to build a couple of drift trikes for me and my kids, I have a 79cc motor to and a 12 inch bicycle front end to make a mini one for my son. And a 20 inch for me.

That would look killer if the rear wheel was relocated to behind the frame strut and the engine move back. It's neat though.

I'm in it for really cheap so it can get any mods that would make it cooler. That would make it look like a drag bike style I'd think.

I think it's home made also. I don't recognize any parts of the frame from any mini bikes.

@SimpleTom he maybe able to identify the bike

With that Briggs 5s motor on it, you won't be doing any wheeling! LOL. They're about 2 HP.

 

[SimpleTom]

It's home made. I have a set of those wheels also. I believe there from some sort of utility cart

That thing is really cool!

What I think I'd do if it were mine:

1. Move the rear wheel mounts to behind the seat upright, stretching the wheelbase
2. Ditch the jackshaft and belt set-up
3. Flip the rear wheel and attach a standard chain sprocket
4. Geography allowing, find a cheap old snowblower with a Tecumseh 4-5hp flathead engine (it deserves the vintage look)
5. Get a band style brake assembly that grabs on the clutch hub

Whatever way you decide to go with it, it would be great to see the finished product.
