Why is the Frame A Critical Component of a Mini Bike

Image
  A mini bike frame is what distinguishes the product of one manufacturer from another. A mini bike frame typically has the seat perched on top, the engine on the lower platform, and consists of two hexagon-shaped rods. The frame is a critical component of a mini bike, not only in terms of the strength to take the weight of the engine and the suspension but for stability and balance too. The mini bike frame holds all the parts of the bike - the engine, transmission, gas tank, seat, front fork, and rear suspension - together and hence is specially manufactured to have great load-bearing capabilities. Further, many owners tweak their bikes and add a lot of accessories to jazz up their bikes, a practice that should be avoided unless one is sure about the load-bearing capacity of the mini bike frame . For example, many riders, especially those that are into dirt track racing and take their bikes over challenging courses add a supercharger for extra power or change the wheel rim to...

Mini Bike 6.5 HP Engine Explained

Image
  Most people are conversant with engine power in cc instead of hp. This is because even manufacturers mark their mini bikes’ power in cc. For instance, you will get mini bikes starting from 49cc and subsequently 100cc, 200cc, and more. But have you normally heard anybody talking about a mini bike 6.5 hp engine that translates into 212cc? Probably not. However, this is not a standard definition. Even though mini bike engines are marked in cc, there is a subtle difference between a 6.5 hp engine and the equivalent 212cc. Technically speaking, the two are not the same, as hp is a measure of the power of the engine while cc or cubic centimeters is the volume of displacement of the cylinders. However, they are talked about in the same breath because of the theory that the higher or lower the displacement of the cylinders, the more or less the power of the engine that is generated.  Even then, this is not the rule of thumb as a lot of factors have to be taken into account bef...
