    A guy in Tauranga built a mini sidecar with a grass trimmer motor. He often bought it along to Use-less-lee rallies. Have riden it. Lot of fu*ken fun those Ask Cajun.

    I like the look of it, but the ones they race in the uk are way more powerful than that. That one looks like its a junior grade mini-moto that someones bolted a sidecar too. In the uk they use 80cc 2-smokes and 200cc 4-smokes with a power restriction - I think about 25bhp.

    Also a lot of people are starting to work with MIDI-Moto (rather than mini) and bunging side cars on them (both road and dirt). They are 110cc.

    Couple of those in Chch but they wouldn't be suitable for racing,they're only really designed with a rider in mind

    The stuff they race overseas makes those look like a bit of a joke
