Why is the Frame A Critical Component of a Mini Bike

 

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 fit tires that are specially made for these conditions. But without strengthening the mini bike frame to take the extra load, the balance of the bike will be badly affected mainly when leaning into corners at high speeds. These are some factors that must e taken into consideration before modifying a mini bike.

A mini bike frame is made of steel or welded aluminum struts with the rear suspension being an integral part of the frame. It also has the front fork and the head tube attached to it. Racing bikes have mini bike frame made of lighter materials like magnesium, carbon fiber, or titanium.

The Link Between A 212cc and 6.5hp Mini Bike Engine

Image
Is there a link between a 212cc and 6.5 hp engine? To start with, any engine is referred to both in cc and hp to denote its power and capacity. However, the common trend is to refer to an engine in cc only, even when its power is being indicated. This is because manufacturers invariably refer to an engine in cc only and this is followed by the dealers of spare parts and owners down the line. But as will be seen in this post, it is not right to use the terms cc and hp interchangeably. Let’s take the example of a 6.5 hp engine that roughly is the equivalent of 212cc. But there is a world of difference between the two. HP is a measure of the power of the engine and cc or cubic centimeters is a measure of the volume displaced by the cylinders of the engine. The reason why both are referred to in the same breath is that the more or lower the horsepower of the engine, the more or lower will be the displacement volume of the cylinders. Hence, a displacement of 212cc of the cylinders roug
