Gas Mini Bikes — 52cc & 212cc Models

The two documented gasoline minis: a featherweight 52cc two-stroke and a full-frame 212cc four-stroke, published with both factory tables.

The gasoline mini bike range is anchored by two models different in almost every figure. The 52cc mini bike runs a 51.7cc single-cylinder two-stroke, air-cooled, with a 1L tank, chain drive and a full-auto clutch, on 110/50-6.5 wheels with a rear disc brake. Its table lists a 25–30 km/h maximum speed, a 75 kg maximum load, a 490mm seat height and an 18.5 kg net weight — a true mini, sized for young riders and for channels that ship by parcel.

The 212cc model is a different proposition: a 212cc air-cooled four-stroke single with transistorized CDI ignition, recoil start, automatic transmission and chain drive, rated 4.2kW at 3600rpm and 12Nm of torque at 2500rpm in the factory table. It runs 19X7-8 tyres front and rear, a hydraulic rear disc brake, and lists a 37 km/h maximum speed, a 91 kg maximum load, a 4L fuel capacity and 120 units per 40GP container. At 72 kg dry it is a ride-on mini bike for older youth and adult leisure use, not a toy-class machine.

The same 51.7cc two-stroke platform also appears as the 52cc mini dirt bike, with different wheels (12½x2.75), front and rear disc brakes and a 550mm seat height. The two tables are published separately on purpose: identical engine family, different machines, and the figures must not be interchanged.
