Arctic Cat recently held its 50th Anniversary party. There was a very large vintage snowmobile show, with a ton of Arctic Cat minibikes on display. Here are just a few.

 

I had one of those Doodle Bugs from PEP Boys also. Tossed the little engine that was on it, and replaced it with a 6 hp Briggs and Stratton. Oh boy! Decided I did'nt need to die that way and sold it. Butch/56sedandelivery.

Here is my three wheel Bonanza mini bike that I built about 13 years ago so my wife and I could ride around car shows. Used to carry it in a 64 Ranchero, now I carry it in my 65 Falcon sedan delivery. The first pic is with a padded seat and the second pic has the original cooler top for the "Pleasure" cooler.

PS I am looking for a Rump mini bike or a Scat-kitty.

 

Cool, I remember seeing your little machine at the Nats South about that time. I think it was the year before they instituted their no pit bike policy. If it wasn't yours it was one just like it.

I have a complete bonanza rolling frame, but finding a Hodaka ace 100 is next to impossible

 

a Bonanza, not sure what model , but well worth the 50.00 I think.
wish i had the hodaka engine it came with

 

hahahahahah!!! SCUTTLEBUGS REPRESENT!

 

My minibike... not sure how vintage

I have a barn full of old minibikes and Tote Gotes that I have picked up over the years. Some day I'll get around to working on them.

Very interesting Kennyson ; )

 

Before and after on the K&S Hornet , and I no longer own the red one, which is a Jcpenny Bird

 

Love that cat eliminator!

 

Claymore- I know she pulls like a Freight Train, as far as top end I will find out on October 23rd at the Billetproof Drags!
I will let you know

Thanks Von Loppy, now get off the HAMB and get to workin' on yours!!

 

I got this mini bike at the Saratoga truck show last Saturday for $20.00 I,m trying to figure out the year and model? I know the spring in front forks is missing and the tabs on the rear are for set shocks I think? I had a mini bike when I was younger My dad built it from a set of blue prints from popular mechanics. late 1960's road it for years! my younger brother wrecked it. Thanks for the help Joe

 

Anyone know what brand this is?

Cheers!

 

Can anybody tell me what the old 3 wheel mini bikes/trikes were called that looked kinda like mini choppers. We had one as a kid and I've been looking for one for years with no results. I figure I must just be calling them the wrong thing.

 

i have a new 12hp engine waiting for something. one day ill do something with it.
