:thumbsup:Greetings everyone. I have a couple of mini bikes I am restoring. They are 1970s Tru-Test brand. They were available in New Zealand as kits sets back in the day.

Welcome. Those look a lot like our Lil Indian and Power Dynes. :thumbsup:. Don't mind Strigoi. I'm pretty sure he's Jesse's bro. A lot of the older ones used tiller grips and such for footpegs. Maybe the ones in N.Z. used bike grips.:confused:

Welcome ZeroZero: Welcome to the forum, are you on the North of South Island ?
I have friends that live in Christchurch and someday I hope to visit there.
Your two projects look like they are in petty good shape for their age. Good luck with your effort.

Hello Everyone.
There are plenty of people selling chinese junk mini bikes in New Zealand.
Plenty of old Honda Z50,s. My first bike in 1980 was and Indian mini trail bike. Gee I got fit pushing that thing.
Its a bit of laugh having the grips down there, it was probably used as an escape vehicle for a monkey from the zoo !!!
I live in the North Island about 150 Miles north of the capital.
We do not have many US mini bikes in NZ. If you want to have alook what is available goto trademe.co.nz and search for whatever you want. Its a live auction similar to ebay.

Heres a couple for sale.

ZeroZero : Very interesting story and sad that progress is sometimes not rewarded in the proper way and often the wrong people get the credit. I am sure this will be the case when the auto makers of the world quit playing the games they play on alternative energy vehicles. Thanks for the look
