What is a minichopper or minibike?
Minichoppers and minibikes are miniature motorcycles, which typically feature four-stroke, 49cc engines from Subaru or Tecumseh. Mini choppers and mini bikes are designed for recreational use on paved surfaces. They are not for public roads, freeways, or long-distance travel, due to their limited fuel capacity (1 to 2 gallons) and small frames, engines, and wheels (8 to 10 inches). Most mini choppers and mini bikes reach top speeds between 20 and 40 mph with a teen or adult rider (150 to 200 pounds).
