Finally Finished

Well after deciding to make a mini bike for my year 12 engineering studies main project I’ve spent the whole year sourcing designing and fabricating. I’m pretty happy with the final result and for all you youngens not sure what to do in year 11 or 12 I would defiantly recommend engineering studies as it’s a nice little break from physics, chem, maths and English.

Cheers Miles

Once i had bought all the parts and finished the design it would have taken around 60 hours but at school that equates to around half the year.

very nice job.

is that the 2a/2b unit or the 3a/3b unit?

my school only offers the 2a/2b unit and all we got to make was some little electric powered buggy thing, pretty boring compared to your school, but i guess thats the difference between public and private hahahaha

great effort Milsey, looks sweet , now just to find somewhere to ride it (legally) when i was at school it was called motors and machines and we built the gardeners a tractor with the motor out of a mini, never had a chance to do something like that, hope you got top marks for it
