MiniMoto
What's a minimoto?
A minimoto is a miniaturised motorbike designed for racing. Powered by a 2-stroke engine each bike weighs about 20kg, has a wheelbase of roughly 700mm and a ground clearance of roughly 25mm. Bikes are raced in 3 categories as follows:
- Standard. The standard class uses an industrial based 2-stroke engine. Max speed usually a little over 30mph (depending upon driver weight.
- Modified. Some engine tuning is allowed.
- Superclass. Race prepared machines with the rear wheel being driven via a centrifugal clutch and chain. Achieving speeds of 60-70 miles per hour.
Minimoto racing is an ideal way to get into motorsport racing in an exhilarating and cost effective way. As a Minimoto is so small it's feasible to take it to race in the back of a family sized car. No need for large trailer and lots of expensive extra's.
When racing you are crouched with your head roughly half a metre above ground level, which even at 30mph feels extremely fast.

How much does a minimoto cost?
Minimoto bikes start from as little as £200 (maybe less). For this you can get a 49cc single cylinder air-cooled 2 stroke bike. Like full-sized bikes, the addition of a full fairing or watercooled engine, etc, will progressively increase the price of the bike.
Once you have bought your bike you will need - Helmet, gloves, leathers and boots.
If you are keen buying a Minimoto with style, many full sized replica's are available. For example the Ducati 916 shown.
These are usually around £500 to buy new and will achieve speeds of around 37mph. When you are so close to the ground this feels seriously fast.
