If you are not prepared to pay at least $50,000 for a top-of-the-line full-size chopper, yet still crave its custom-design elements, hope is not lost; mini-choppers came to the market as a cheaper, safer custom-built alternative to their big brother motorcycle.
Mini choppers have risen in popularity due not only to their lower price tag but also because of the capability to be put together in any small shop or garage with just the proper tools and a little know-how.
As with a real chopper, craftsmanship and artistry go hand-in-hand when creating mini choppers. Style and function work together in such a way that even a father and his child could develop one during weekend sessions in the family garage.
Sporting authentic chopper styling and handling at a fraction of the price, Razor mini choppers are sure to catch the eyes of chopper enthusiasts everywhere. Powered by a 250w electric motor, this vehicle can reach speeds of 15 mph and run on battery power for about 45 minutes. For the do-it-at-home types, Razor mini chopper parts can be purchased online or at select merchants. Razor mini chopper parts able to be purchased and self-assembled include: battery chargers, throttles, fuel tanks, handlebars and fenders.
Motorcycle engines run from 50 cubic centimeters (cc) for small scooters to more than 2000cc for the largest motorcycles. The cubic centimeters measurement refers to the volume of a liquid or gas an engine can hold. All motorcycles, mini or not, have a cc label attached to its engine. Basically, the higher the cc, the more air-fuel mixture can move through the engine in one rotation of its piston, the more energy will be released through the motorcycle, and the faster the bike can go.
The Spider Chopper – a mini chopper replica of Orange County Choppers' Black Widow motorcycle – may get confused at a distance with its New York inspiration. Backed by an 110cc engine, this gas powered, 220cm-long motorcycle can carry riders 50 to 70 miles cruising at speeds up to 60 mph. Crank up the juice to 200cc models and enjoy better performance at even higher speeds.
One of the smallest mini choppers is a 49cc dirt bike. Topping out around 30 mph, these gas-powered cruisers are perfect entry-level bikes for safety-conscious beginners of all ages. The best part? These can be had at price tags less than $500.
Ever dream of waking up the neighborhood with your chopper? With certain 198cc mini choppers, you can! One dealer brags of a 198cc model with a fuel-efficient four stroke engine that sounds just like the real deal. Acoustics aside, this gas-powered mini chopper delivers speeds up to 55mph with a one-gallon tank capable of propelling riders 60 miles. With a sticker price of under $800, this is an affordable mini chopper fantasy.
With a small investment and a little ingenuity to design your mini chopper, you can bring the magic and charm of a custom chopper into your home at a fraction of the cost of a full-size chopper.
