Mini Hummer wheels on Mini ATV
I know a few of you have both thse machines.
The mini ATV I'm talking about is the former 50cc that now comes with a 110cc engine. I would like to put the mini hummer wheels and rubber on the mini atv. Ground clearance is the goal. Now, i have spoken to GIO and they say sure, its been done before, might have to live with a little rubbing. I can deal with that. BUT I recently noticed the 2 axles are different (they have some on auction atm)...mini hummer axle is wider, probably to accomodate the larger rubber? Before I get flogged here...there was a lot going on when I ordered the mini ATV and I also misread the site. Thought the ALL NEW 2010 mini atv really was all new, but its the 50cc with a larger engine. So....stuff happens as they say...was going to sell it, but I spend a lot of time putting these things together correctly, plus I have perf parts for it....so if I could get a set of decent rubber on it, I can live with it. Thanks

Spend enough time and money and anything becomes possible.
(This from a guy that has 235/85/16's (10 ply) on a Subaru) Wheel spacers *think* wheel spacers. |

Are you asking a question here regarding the axles or just musing about things? I believe the mini hummer and mini beast axles are the same.. I can take pictures of my mini beast axle and one of my 50cc axle if you want to look at them side by side? |

Hows bout a small fav? Just eyeball the mini hummers rubber and give me your opinion if it will survive on the little guy. REVEEN: cant argue with you there. Also wheel spacers is good idea if room allows. Thanks.

Hey Pete,
I eyeballed AND took pictures. From judging, I expect they'll fit on the back without much trouble, but you may have some clearancing to do on the front. I do not remember if the diameter of the axles is the same where the wheel bearing rides on the two machines. I don't have time to rip them off and measure for you today. If you want, I can do that for you on the weekend. Here are the shots so you can see the difference between the two machines. NOTE: The Mini Hummer in the family is an hour drive away, I have the Mini Beast, but the tires are the same size on both. This is that ugly frame piece underneath which is a rock magnet..as well as a oil drain plug blocker!! (has to come off to drain the oil) |

I will make it work, especially with all your help here. It was my "mistake" ordering it, and I did make a tenuous gesture to GIO but was rebuffed. Did not pursue it because I didnt have a leg to stand on, so why create bad blood over nothing?
