Hi all

My first post on this site. I have recently ordered a AZUSA 6" mini bike kit. Currently looking for a power plant for it. It's snowing here in the northeast so I have plenty time to build and search. Looking forward to the build. :thumbsup:

A good cheap powerplant would be harbor frieghts 212 predator they are great engines to upgrade also can be boight for 100 bucks

Hey Atomic, where in the northeast do you live? Welcome to OldMiniBikes!

Welcome to OldMiniBikes. This snow has got to go. :laugh:. The Predator is a good engine but very powerful and modern. There are lots and lots of upgrades for it also. The bike can be a handful with that engine. You can look around on Craigslist for a 3 to 5hp Briggs or Tecumseh and the bike will be more tame and old school. Depends on what you're looking for. Good luck.

Welcome. If you decide to run a predator on the Asuza, you may want to reinforce the engine plate.

Hey thanks everyone! I am in western Mass. area.
Geez that predator sounds like the engine to have. I found 2 briggs 5hp. About $150 each. I will look into the predator. Thanks!

I was given a roller back in 78. Put a 3 hp briggs on it and I was hooked. Now I have a very long driveway and 7 acres, I figured a mini bike would be a blast. I want my 11 yo daughter to try it.

Does the 212 predator fit without removing the gas tank ?

 

[Docdc]

Yes

I will check that. I bought a 212 from harbor freight for $89. Good deal
