150k Prize! Mini Moto Challenge!

[s.J.]

Alright.

I have ridden a mini moto once. I live in the Scottish Highlands, quite remote, my nearest town is 21 miles away, however there is a town shop about 6 miles from my house. I also take regular trips to my mates house who lives about 6 miles away in another village.

However, I basically live next to a small rural garage, where I know the main engineer personally and hes fixed and filled up my friends 2 stroke mini moto before too, so I can easily get fuel and mechanical help

I plan to use my mini moto to go see my mates and nip to the shop and to use in summer.

I have very basic engineering skills, and am pretty self confident that I can fix these things.

I have very little knowledge on two stroke engines and that.

Also, do mini moto's need oil, like is there a small oil tank, or is that why you mix oil in with the petrol to create Two Stroke Fuel? How easy is it to change their body fairings? Do two strokes have gears and that?

My mates one basically just had a pullstart, a throttle and breaks and that was it

How can you say you have engineering skills when you don't know that the sort of motor has nothing to do with it having manual gears or not.

There are 2stroke bikes with gears.
There are also 4stroke bikes with gears.
If you don't know anything about it I don't advise you to fix it yourself imho.
Only going to make it worse.

Your minimoto won't have gears, pocketbikes don't have gears usually.
The oil in your gas is to lubricate the engine, and you'll most likely have to mix it up yourself at a ratio of 32:1 gas to oil. (If you're using common grade of oil, usually says on the back what the perfect ratio is.
For 70£ which is rather a slim budget you don't have to expect anything to last or have any form of quality.
