The engine inside our FatCats are impressive clones of the classic Honda GX200 engines, renowned for their long-lasting reliability.

There's a wonderful compatibility between the Honda engines and ours, which means sourcing spare parts like air filters, engine oil, or spark plugs is a breeze – just visit your local small engine shop or workshop.

These engines are 4-strokes, think of them as the Australian counterparts to the Honda GX200, featuring a robust 212cc powerhouse. Simply fill them up with unleaded fuel, and you're good to go! With a generous 3.5-liter fuel tank, you can enjoy a solid 3-4 hours of uninterrupted riding fun!

FatCats are powered by reliable 4-stroke engine, packing a punch with their robust 212cc engine – a clone of the legendary Honda GX200.

Yes, indeed! These bikes feature an easy pull-start engine, making them straightforward and hassle-free, without the need for a battery.

Absolutely! These bikes come with an automatic transmission. When at idle, there's no drive engaged, but as you twist the throttle, they smoothly spring into action.

Absolutely not! Our bikes come equipped with a fantastic fully automatic one-speed gearbox, which makes shredding on them an absolute breeze!

All of the controls are conveniently located on the handlebars, making it a breeze to ride and perfect for riders of any skill level.

On the left side, you'll find the rear brake lever and the headlight switch. On the right side, you'll see the twist throttle, front brake lever, and the engine stop switch.

The FatCat features both front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, with no foot brake, just the easy-to-use brake levers on the handlebars.

It's simple – just fill it up with regular unleaded fuel, and you're all set to hit the road. Speaking of fuel, the FatCat features an ample 3.5-liter tank, providing you with a sturdy 3-4 hours of uninterrupted riding time.

The FatCat boasts a generous 3.5-liter tank, giving you a solid 3-4 hours of riding time.

The top speed you can reach with a FatCat is 55km/h. It's important to note that FatCats aren't designed for blazing speed; they're crafted to take you anywhere you want to go.

Just a quick note on the top speed: Typically, you can expect around 55km/h on firmer surfaces. However, it might be a tad lower when you're off-road, given the different terrain. But fear not, there's a little trick you can use to rev things up a bit more. There's a speed limiter ring in the CVT that can be removed, allowing for a higher top speed.

The bike's overall dimensions are as follows: 1600mm in length, 800mm in width, and 900mm in height.

However, it's worth mentioning that some resourceful FatCat owners have found a way to reduce the height for transport. They simply undo the handlebar clamps, rotate the handlebars down, and the height can be reduced to 800mm.

In terms of seating, the seat height at its lowest point is 625mm, and the total length of the bike is 1.6 meters

FatCats weigh in at approximately 75kg, which makes it a breeze to load one onto the tray of a ute all on your own.

Compared to a standard motorbike, they're significantly lighter, ensuring you can effortlessly navigate the bush, conquer sandy terrains, or master your farm adventures like a true boss!

Not to worry at all when it comes to getting your bike settled in – taking it easy and steady is the key!

After a few hours of engine run time, simply perform a straightforward oil change. Your bike should come with some oil already, but for any refills, you can find genuine Honda oil at Bunnings or your local lawn mower shop. You'll need approximately 600ml of that high-quality oil to top it up. When refilling, ensure the bike is in an upright position and pour the oil until it's just about to overflow from the filler plug

The majority of the bolts on our bikes are of grade 8.8 quality, and we use screws that adhere to the Japanese Industry Standard (JIS)!

Now, JIS may sound fancy, but it's actually a mark of quality that's been traditionally employed in high-quality Japanese bikes.

You bet! Many of our amazing customers happen to be hardworking farmers.

When it comes to Aussie terrain and the need for reliable 4-wheeler bikes, the choice becomes crystal clear. While the bigger brands may offer pricey buggies, we provide the ideal solution. Our top-of-the-line 212cc bikes, featuring Honda clone engines and robust, rugged wheels, are a perfect match.

They're exactly what you need to zip around the farm and easily check out what's happening!

during easygoing rides, our bikes purr along at a peaceful 72 decibels. But when you kick it into high gear and rev them up to full throttle, they'll unleash a spirited 85 decibels.

Compared to typical 2-stroke engines, they're considerably quieter and won't create nearly as much noise as a lawnmower. Depending on the specific model you have, they might be a tad louder than some quad bikes, but they generally keep things on the quieter side!

FatCat Mini Bikes may not come with rear suspension, but let us tell you, those robust chunky wheels and that comfy seat do an excellent job of soaking up bumps. You'll be pleasantly surprised by how smooth and enjoyable the ride is!

Our signature model, the FC-212, comes standard in sleek black with the black sticker kit. It's a classic look that's ready to roll right out of the gate.

But here's where the fun really begins – you can give your FatCat a personal touch with our Coloured Sticker Kits! We offer a splendid palette of 12 awesome colours for you to pick from. Whether you're into bold and bright or something more subtle, there's a colour waiting just for you.

So, go ahead and add your own unique twist to your FatCat Mini Bike. It's all about making it truly yours!

Here's the breakdown: At idle, the front pulley on the crankshaft doesn't engage the belt. However, as you rev up the engine, something magical happens. The pulley starts to squeeze in on the belt, gradually transferring power. This pulley is cleverly tapered, so as the revs increase, it squeezes in even more, causing the belt to ride up on the pulley. This, in turn, alters the gearing.

But wait, there's more! Simultaneously, the spring-loaded rear pulley swings open, allowing the belt to descend into the smaller diameter section of the pulley.

So, what does all this mean for your ride? Well, during takeoff, you get a 2.7:1 reduction, giving you that extra oomph. And when you're cruising at full speed, it switches to a 0.9:1 overdrive, so you can zip along smoothly. It's like having a built-in, infinitely adjustable gearbox that optimizes your performance at every twist of the throttle. Cool, right?

There is no oil filter on these engines.

We totally understand that sometimes you need a bit more torque and power to conquer those off-road adventures like a champ!

In terms of fitting larger engines or engine modifications, it's definitely possible, but it usually involves some custom work to get it just right. People over in the USA (the American version of a FatCat) have done some cool engine upgrades on our FatCat bikes but this is not something we have done ourselves. Here's the link to the epic video they made: https://youtu.be/u5C0c2CCgB4 

But hey, before you dive headfirst into engine mods, we'd recommend checking out some of the awesome aftermarket upgrades we have available. They can help you achieve that extra oomph you're looking for without diving too deep into custom work.
