When GoPowerSports told us they were coming out with their fully customizable, built in the USA Rascal Minibike kit we knew we had to get our hands on one to be a companion to our Lil' Rascal Minibike. The kit comes with everything you need to make a personalized rolling chassis at a great price, ready for any engine of your choosing! Make sure to check out the link if you are interested in getting your own! We got ours powder coated Olive Drab and went with the mostly black accents to give it a military look. We put the 18hp Tillotson 225 from the Lil' Rascal onto the Rascal since the bigger frame is better suited for the power (We'll put a stage 1 predator on the Lil' Rascal) . It was nice working with all new parts and frame for once making it a stress-free and quick build. Next up we'll install the front suspension kit and test it out offroad!
Thank y’all for watching, stay safe, and be sure to stay tuned for the next video!

And we're back with the rascal for those of you that don't know the rascal is go powersports, full-size version of the little rascal, it's a mini bike frame kit. It's pretty sweet. We already got it powder coated. It comes with all the components you need to build.

It fully and we're just going to crank this thing out, do so we're robbing this built 225 from the rascal just because it's so much power for this little frame and honestly scares all of us. So we're actually yanking the 225 here and we'll put on our new green powder coated stuff, and then we can put her on the big rascal. So all the engine work that this thing thing's gon na get is strictly cosmetic yeah. So for those of you who haven't seen it, the 225s are just unreal.

This thing's gon na absolutely rip on our bigger frame here, but this thing is basically just like your built crate motor you get from anywhere else, but of course, it's kind of built on that predator 212 platform. So it's stroked, it has all your billet parts. I mean you can rev this thing to the moon and back and she's going to be all right. So it's really exciting to get this thing on the bike.

It's a good angle, all right, so the color we chose for this thing is an od green. So this is like the actual federally mandated od green. So what you're going to see on you know every other military vehicle. So that's pretty cool, we're doing kind of a mild military theme for this, but i mean the first step we got ta do is get this thing on some tires and then get the kickstand in.

So one cool thing about the rascal. Is that there's a couple different front fork options so, as you all saw, we had the fixed front forks and then we also got these gas ones for a smoother ride, so we'll definitely be putting these on and you know comparing it before. We can get the front forks in. We need to get these bushings in for the steering so uh.

We got a powder coater to not paint the insides, and that makes the install a lot easier mm-hmm. So there we are cool, so we got our little rascal motor on here. This thing is super kind of just like i don't know stock spec, looking yeah, it's pretty. It looks like something that would just be standard issue which i kind of enjoy.

It's a nice change of pace. Usually our stuff is super colorful and poppy, but this is just really just oem. Looking fresh chains feel good, yeah, okay, so yeah, what's nice about the rascal, is that you have this like block off plate, there's enough room for it? So um because we have our gassing in the back, it's just a little bit more clean and finished. Look.

Another super great thing about this is that you have these pretty large hydraulic brakes, so this thing's going to stop really well so yeah it just pops right in, and this is going to be some good breaks all right. So now the brakes are all tight and we just have these wires to do and the throttle and we'll be able to drive this thing. So i am super excited about that. We're gon na rip, that's good.
Definitely the hardest part of the install honestly. Without a doubt, it's not only do you have to put it on straight, can't have any bubbles. There looks good yeah. I think i did it right, yeah, perfect, so yeah.

So first i think it's dude yeah first impressions. This thing is like really pretty dang fast. I mean if in a torque converter, we'd have like the torque, but like it just keeps pulling um these tires are definitely not meant for pavement. It's sliding around yeah, but um i mean they're, it's really fun.

It's a pretty smooth ride actually but yeah. I feel like um, we do have those gas shruts up front and if we had these tires like off-road like in a field, this thing would like really be perfect, but yeah. It's super fun um. It's definitely more like substantial than the little rascal, especially for me because, like the handlebars don't hit my knees now i got like two inches.

So hey. You know i'm definitely a little bit more fan of this, but if you have a kid, the little rascal's the way to go yeah. If you're, like my height, look at these little, you got some scrappage already yeah, oh yeah. That was for my little peel out over there.

That's what it's made for yep definitely cool. I think we'll get a few more shots and then we'll wrap this bit up and then the next vid, we'll probably swap on the suspension, forks and take it over to daniel's land. Definitely that would be a lot. I think that's where this thing would shine.

Even more yeah, i think i think we need a tune to carve a little bit yeah, but i mean it's not like full power. It's just not always happy like, but um. It's probably running rich yeah yeah. You might, i think, you're right also.

The intake was a little bit uh you're, hauling man yeah, and that wasn't even like we're definitely out running this space. We got to take it to daniel's lane, especially with these tires. They can't break that hard right. Well, it's a little swirly, but you know i love it.

Nice alrighty y'all! Thank you for watching. Thank you. Go powersports for providing this rascal kit. We had a ton of fun building a little rascal.

These things are just really pretty. We don't really have to do much, i mean all. We do is powder coat. This thing green and it looks sweet, it's great, having just a full bolt-on kit.

You get all the fun of building it, but you mean you, don't have to drill out any holes or you know do anything like that. So it's really a great kit to just get shipped to you and you'll have a mini bike yeah. So i highly recommend 225 is sweet as well yeah, it's such a ripper but stay tuned. We're gon na put the new shock forks on this thing and take it out to daniel's land and really get to open it up.

I mean this place is nice because we can ride around here and all, but it is kind of still a public place, so yeah we'd want to just really rip it on just some some huge land so yeah. Let's do it good.

    This is a bad ass build guys.

    Teach me Please.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Matthew Nunn says:

    Just an idea for a little project/experiment.
    Two or three inches back the handle bars make it pivot up and down and then cut the back frame supports off and fit shocks to the front and back.
    Think it would be awesome to try😁

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nitewatch2.0 says:

    That looks like the motor I need for my Owasso trike

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MLB says:

    Dude you look like a "springmoer" with that hair🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scorpios Lab says:

    Kind of slow for 18 horsepower.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wildkkat1 says:

    It's idling to fast, that will ruin the clutch…!

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Makes says:

    You guys have the best testing area for audio purposes! Every vehicle sounds so good with the echo between those walls🔥said it before but the bike looks so good in Olive drab!

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BryDuhBikeGuy says:

    That's a pretty sweet and easy build.Really liked the line up comparison too.I'm so glad GPS is making something adult sized so you can ride with your kids and the whole family gets to enjoy more together.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dan A says:

    Unfortunate timing. The video drops and both the engine and bike kit are out of stock.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LosNative says:

    Hey y’all love the videos, quick question why is the axle so thin? Do you think it will eventually bend?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jon C says:

    Nice build and the helmet fits it perfect, But it's just not economically feasible to spend $2.000 dollars plus on a mini bike, I'll just stick to my salvage yard builds, Peace

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rick Random says:

    That looks more like garden furniture green. Than od green

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kart nerds says:

    I dig the o.d. green. Tiny bike rips

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WRENCH g says:

    This thing is awesome. You guys really should swap the full manual clutch. That engine would probably like having direct drive. With no clutch or belt slip you'll get to feel all the low-end torque that hot cam is making. If it's really making 18Hp that thing will pull like a freaking tractor. Have you guys thought about running better fuel. Something like Purple 116, or Blenzol? Hell even some proper alcohol. I had built a hot Briggs on alcohol. That little sucker was straight nutty. But now there's OHV engines and Hemi's and OHC engines. These modern engines are freaking Death! Thats why we all have to have one or some of them.

    I want one of those
    Was saving up for one but
    Things came up and had to use the money elsewhere

    As always, Excellent Vid

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stan Lucas says:

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shahar sde Chen says:

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars yeider call says:

    Podrías hacer un go kart de calle

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Orlando Cruz says:

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars nick says:

    That would look sweet next to the Sputnik go kart!
