Mini Choppers


Mini choppers are scaled-down versions of the custom-built motorcycles known as choppers and are generally constructed from 1" steel tubing or 3/4" steel black pipe. The tube or pipe is bent and then welded together to get the desired angles and shapes of the frame, which is usually custom made.

Mini choppers often use bicycle or moped rims and tires up front and large pneumatic tires in the rear. Commonly golf cart wheels or 205/50-10 style tires are used in the back. The rear also needs something to let the wheel spin,and that's where that axle comes in. There are two different types of axle setups used, a live and a dead axle.
