Looks like the same bike as this one Mini Choppers V Twin

One cylinder is a dummy.

Lame. That's just as bad as auto manufacturers welding on a dummy 2nd piece of pipe on the back of mufflers to give it that dual exhaust "look"

Would still be a great starting point for something like a replica board tracker or pre WWI cycle.

It could be but the detail would be poor... most of the pre WW1 machines used a vertical round cylinder - would take alot of work to make the engine look right.

You are absolutely correct about the round cylinder. It would take some work with a grnders, belt sander an polisher, but there's don't seem to be many options out there for a V-twinn look with the round cylinder.

I think I've seen one of these bikes for sale in an autoparts store awhile back. I wasn't paying much attention to it at the time but I remember it having pretty much your standard minibike engine with lots of cheap looking chromed plastic shrouding it to make it look like a harley engine.

I've considered trying to mount a V-twin Honda generator engine on a bike...but they start at 16 hp (610cc) and may be too heavy and the police may have a hard time believing it is only 50ccs. With the plastic shroud removed, it may look like an early twin.

Anyone else tried something like this?
