what were the top 10 largest (two stroke) Displacement (c.c.'s) ever put in a Minibike/cycle?

[bremerman]

One has to be the Benelli Volcano, 100cc Bonanza, what others? By the way I wouldn't mind having a Volcano...

There are a few on here that came with sachs 340 cc motors. I don't recall the name.

 

[jim66]

speedway widow maker ran 80cc 2 stroke Sachs. I believe they had a 125 2 stroke also

Well, Taco, one of the biggest names in vintage mini bikes used a lot of West Bend 2-strokes. Ranging from their 95cc 580 all the way to 134cc 820 from the factory. The Sachs 340 was found on Rokon's, not really a mini bike or mini anything, they're ginormous 2-wheel drive trail monsters. Bonanza had the Hodaka which I believe was 100cc and there was the Desert Fox which had a Tecumseh 817MB which is 133cc. Even Lil Indian had the option for a Power products AH61which was 100cc.

Bonanza used an ACE 90 with a four speed gear box on some of the earlier front peg models, then switched to the ACE 100 with a five speed constant mesh on the later mid peg models.

Bug Engineering advertised a Flea sporting a 125cc Yamaha.

The Quarter Horse came optioned with several two strokes including 100cc Mac, WB610, some 820's, and some 75cc engines like AH47.

Engay Enterprizes made a bike using a 16 HP 175cc Maico as well called the Spitfire.

 

[Hemi Charger]

Maico Engray Spitfire. 1963. As far as i know is the most Powerful Mini Bike ever made ((( 6 inch wheel bike ))) by a Manufacturer Very Rare Bike !

Rokon only used the 340cc Sachs engines on full size RT series motorcycles in enduro and MX variants, never on a 2WD Trailbreaker. I'd like to see how that would've fit.

This one was a one-off custom rig but I remember ... a million years ago ... reading in a magazine about a mini bike (maybe it was a mini cycle) with dual Mac 101s. The story said something to the effect that when it wasn't shedding chains it was a real beast.

Anybody recall anything on the Mac monster?

1971 Arctic Cat Screamer - 134cc Chrysler

Benelli Volcano was a crazy 180cc two stroke dirt bike engine on a mini cycle.

Is this the one? View attachment 306890

Don't think so. The one I recall was being tested in the dirt. Unless they converted it to more of a drag bike config.

I think the Kawi triple below ends any debate over most powerful motor crammed into a minibike. Sheesh! Those things were squirrelly enough in the full stock chassis.

 

[sparkwizard]

I never saw a Kaw 400 triple. I remember 250, 500 and scary 750.
I am also pretty sure that 400 mini was not a factory option.

 

[Gatecrasher]

The 400 was not a factory option for the MT1. lol But I used to have a sweet KH400 triple back in the late 70s. That's what that engine is from.

I can see the look on the faces of the company's liability attorneys when they hear of a proposal to stuff a Kawi 400 triple into their minibike frame.
