Currently, machines can still be found at various retailers for less than $800. Popularity declined steadily, but leveled off in the early 1990s. By 1976 the bubble had burst and less than ten manufactures continued to make minibikes. Sales peaked in the 1973, with 140,000 units between manufacturers. Traditional motorcycle manufacturers also released models inspired by aspects of minibikes, most famously Honda with the Z50A, though this style was affectionately known as a Monkey Bike, a slang-term due to its street-legal demographic requiring a seminarian riding position. Īs the market for minibikes developed, a variety of cottage and major industries offered models, including Arctic Cat, Rupp, Taco, Heath, Gilson, and Fox. So popular and simple was the design, the June of 1967 Popular Mechanics magazine included an article with plans. From the mid-1960s into the 1970s, the popularity of said machines would see over a hundred manufacturers attempt to market machines, an inexpensive venture due to the absence of patents. Lil Indian would go on to manufacture tens-of-thousands of minibikes in their 40+ years. The Michrina brothers are credited with creating the minibike but failed to patent the design or trademark the term when founding their Lil Indian brand in 1959. The Michrina Brothers would create the first commercial minibikes by drawing inspiration from this Pit Bike, delivering 3 prototypes to Troy Ruttman to sell through his dealership. This is a new Lil Indian minibike seat but also fits Ruttman frames and many other bikes.
