Mini Bike Racing Details
Like go-karts,
the first minibikes were made by enthusiasts from spare parts found in
their garages. They were first popularly used as "pit bikes", for drag racers
to travel in the pits during races in the late 1950s. They were very
useful for this purpose, as they could maneuver very well in the tight
pit roads, fit in about the same space as a small bicycle in a trailer
or pickup, and they were faster than most previous forms of
transportation. As racers brought them home and used them around their
neighborhoods, many children liked the idea of having a mini motorcycle
and started building their own. A market for minibikes developed and
many cottage and major industries developed to meet the demand. Minibike
companies include Arctic-Cat, Rupp,
Taco, Heath, Gilson, and Fox, many of which also made other power toys
such as go-karts, trikes and choppers. The peak of the minibike/go-kart
era was from the late 1960s to the early 1970s in America. Many of the
brands, foremost Rupp, have gained a cult-following of enthusiasts and
owners.
