In the process of putting all these parts together, it’s always best to lubricate all bolts, nuts, screws, washers, and metal to metal objects (WD-40). If you or your kids start to grow out of the performance that the engine makes, you can always change gears or even bolt on a bigger engine quite easily, but the Amazon kit is great for first-time builders and riders. All you really need to get the drivetrain to run is the ability to read directions, basics tools, gasoline, and oil. There is a great all-in-one kit on Amazon that includes everything you will need, from the engine and gas tank to the throttle cable, sprockets, and muffler. It could take weeks to piece together every portion of the drivetrain with no guarantee that everything will line properly. Buying a kit is the best way to make sure you have everything you need to get the drivetrain portion of the mini bike running. If you’re a novice builder, you probably don’t have spare parts, bolts, washers, and tons of odds and ends lying around in your garage as a mechanic would. If you strike out there or don’t feel comfortable buying from someone you don’t know, there are places that sell mini bike frames for good prices. If you look around the Internet, you should be able to find one fairly cheap, possible in your neighborhood. 4 Remember, you want the rider to be safe on this bike. 3 Unless you have fabricating and welding experience, this is not a good idea. Some people like to fabricate their own or fabricate one from a bicycle frame. The frame will be the nucleus of your mini bike everything in one way or another will be attached to this. These tools are so common that if you don’t have them, I’m pretty sure one of your neighbors will, and if not, your neighborhood hardware store will. You’ll need wrenches, sockets and ratchets with extensions, at least a flathead and Phillips screwdriver, mallet hammer, and a can of WD-40 (spray grease). If you have a basic set of garage-kept tools to do regular maintenance around the house or on your vehicle, you should be fine. You don’t have to be a master mechanic or even have a master mechanic’s toolbox. The best advice for novice mini-bike builders is to keep it simple. 1 Building one is not as hard or as expensive as you may think, so it’s a great DIY project if you’re looking for something constructive to do in your spare time or simply want to try your hand at building a fully functional mini bike. If you’re ready to move on to something more challenging than a bicycle for yourself or your son or daughter, then a mini bike could be a perfect upgrade.
