Re: minarelli
By the picture, I'd say 50cc Gy6 clone. Looks like your average cheap china bike.

Re: minarelli
You can tell it is a 4 stroke by looking at the pipe.

Re: minarelli
There should be some #'s etched/stamped on the motor somewhere, usually above the kicker cover...google those #'s and it should tell you what its a clone of

Hating on the Chinabike 3000 there T-jamz? That's my daily driver 'ye be trashin' !
I paid 75$ for my Chinabike. I wouldn't pay more than $150 for a gy6 clone. they ride nice enough if you live in an area that 30mph is acceptable. Mine goes 45-47, but the last 10 mph is horrible. The 49cc 4stroke is underpowered for the heavy frame, and the plastics are made of the same recycled eggshell composite material that Wheelman's John-Wayne exhaust gasket was crafted from. The stock variator tuning is horrible, and the parts are all cheaply made (ie; rollers flat spot quick, belts break, clutches and brakes squeal) If you crash once, the mounting tabs ALL break. mine is bound together with zip-ties.
It NEEDS a big bore kit.
Don't hate the Chinabike. They're CHEAP!

Re: minarelli
I've had a ton of those china bikes. It's kinda hit or miss. Had a few complete junkers and lots of really nice, quick and reliable ones. I like the 2t minarellis better but those 4 strokes are reliable provided you don't use oil in them that's as cheap as the bike. I ran Quaker State full synthetic in all the 4 stroke machines I have ever owned, never had problems. They're prone to more electrical problems then internal engine issues.
