Right on Mike! That frame came together nicely. The track looks like it was designed for this project.
Thanks! Yeah, these tracks seem perfect for a mini bike!
Wicked build sir. Thanks for the content
Thanks! 😀
Well done!
Thank you!
I really Want to see more of this build, I just checked
I got the suspension added this last weekend, and I am hoping to get the brakes and chain figured out and finished up this weekend. I'll be posting pics on Instagram ( @mikes.mini.motors ) as I go, but I probably won't be able to get another video out until next week.
this is so sick! welding seems like such a fun skill to have down, have the ability to make whatever you can think up. Great work Mike, excited for the next episode!
Thanks, Kyle! Learning to weld has been a lot of fun!
Thanks for the video! 💯
You're welcome, Roy! 😁
So sick dude!!! The only advice I have is you want the drive sprocket to be as close as possible to the pivot point of the rear swing arm. Doing so keeps the chain taught, with it being so far away currently your chain will get tighter and looser with suspension movement. Might need to run a chain from the drive sprocket to the pivot point and then another chain from the pivot point to the rear sprocket, kinda like a jack shaft.
Thanks, Ryan! I've thought about the chain set up quite a bit. Ideally, I wanted to have a jackshaft at/as the rear swing arm mount (kill two bird with one stone). But, I am trying to not modify the frame of the bike, so it can convert back to the wheels or "Summer-mode", if you will, and that made my options limited on what I could do. I am thinking of going with a spring loaded tensioner set up, and hopefully it would compensate for the slight change in chain tension due to the suspension.
@@MikesMiniMotors oh gotcha that makes sense… since you aren’t modifying the frame and making it reversible it all makes way more sense now.
@@BugzeeSiegel Yeah, if this bike was going to be a dedicated snow bike, I would build it completely different!
@@MikesMiniMotors makes perfect sense now!!!!
this looks so awesome, but would it be better for handling if you put two tracks on the rear? (i dont really know anything about tracks so i might be wrong)
Thanks! I thought about the dual track set up for a bit. I think if you went side by side with them, it would be harder to steer the bike, I think. Going end to end may make the bike less squirrelly, but it would be really long at that point. That's why I decided to just go with one track.
