Mini Quad Bike & Trailer

[Brain_stew]

Hey All, Hope i've posted this in the right place!!

I'm looking at starting a Mini Quad Bike project, similar to this

Once the Quad is built i will then be building a trailer that will not only be used for transporting the Quad but will also attach to the back of the Quad for hauling camping gear/firewood.

As some of you have built off road vehicles before i am in need of your knowledge. I allready have a 110cc 4T engine (currently being re-built), Petrol Tank, Carb from a bike i previously owned.

However i'm not too sure how i should do a few things. Do i go down the route of independant front and rear suspension or independant front and a shared shock for the rear? depending how this is done will also effect how i do the break system. There is a possibility that this bike will be used on some jumps and a garantee that it will be ridden hard through the woods.

The Budget is £1-200 for the Quad. Safety is a priority as i will not be the only rider.

Hope that all makes sense . . .

Surely you could get one of those chinese quads cheap 2nd hand? Espicially if it had a knackered engine?

They come with ready knackered engines don't they ? Having seen the frame and welding close up on a few of these I would not in any way call them safe. I welded the footpeg hangers back on one and the metal is almost non existent, more like the stuff cheap furniture is made from.
