Minibike BUILD Ep.2 - Frame Fabrication

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Fat tire minibike build from scratch. In this video: minibike tube frame bending and fabrication. This TB-1000 tube bender has proven itself as a great helper. Before having this I was constricted to using already existing bent tubes but now I have a complete creative freedom when it comes to tube frame fabrication. With this minibike tube frame I've gotten some practice in and feel quite comfortable with bending tubes. This series will follow. I hope you enjoy!

    This is one awesome build. Like your attention to detail is amazing. I'm just wandering why you didn't add any suspension, like a rear swingarm? As a kid I've ridden the fat tire bikes. They'll go about anywhere , but really bouncy. Back then it didn't bother me , but now older , and several back surgeries it would be Ruff , Ruff. But given a chance to have this bike I sure wouldn't complain. I grew up around a small engine shop. Dad also had a fab shop. I , a long with neighborhood kids built "deathtrap" bikes from scrap. At that time none of us had the skill level you have. What we put together, we would work on for a couple days to ride until something broke , and then weld more crap on to it. Finally, they looked like Mad Max vehicles 😂. But it kept us from listening to jazz music , and turning into Riff Raff 😁😂😆🤣
