This Quarter Horse minibike was originally manufactured by Microsound Manufacturing in Los Angeles, California, and it was acquired by the seller in 2025 and subsequently refurbished. Work included a repaint in metallic red and an overhaul of the West Bend 820 138cc two-stroke single. Additional work included fabricating a custom exhaust system and display stand, replacing or rechroming assorted hardware, and replacing the centrifugal clutch, tires, and more. The bike features a Tillotson carburetor, a compression release valve, a recoil starter, a side stand, full suspension, 6″ wheels, folding aluminum foot pegs, and an in-frame fuel tank. This Quarter Horse minibike is now offered at no reserve in California for off-road use only with a bill of sale and a custom display stand.
The L-shaped 3″ steel tube frame was repainted in metallic red in the refurbishment, and a reproduction Quarter Horse chrome-finished decal was added to the steering neck. Features included a black vinyl solo saddle as well as a side stand and folding Anderson aluminum foot pegs. Fuel is stored in the frame, with a fuel-filler cap found under the flip-up seat. The seller states that assorted hardware was replated, polished, or replaced.
The 6″ two-piece steel wheels were polished and mounted with Goodyear tires in the refurbishment. Suspension consists of an inverted fork as well as dual chrome shocks attached to the chrome-plated swingarm. Braking is from a single 5″ expanding brake at the rear.
The handlebar was re-chromed and carries a bright rear brake lever along with black grips and a twist-grip throttle. A quick-release chrome T-nut is attached to the top triple clamp. No instrumentation is present, therefore true mileage is unknown.
The West Bend/Chrysler Power Bee 820 is a 134cc two-stroke single that was overhauled in 2025 by Frank Moore in Ohio, according to the seller. Equipment includes a recoil starter, a partially shrouded cylinder head, a compression-release valve, a Tillotson carburetor with an Azusa velocity stack, and a chrome-plated header with a custom reproduction muffler and perforated heat shield. A stop switch is mounted to the engine shroud, and the seller states engine and related hardware were either polished or rechromed. The seller stated the engine was test-run on the bench following the build, but the bike has not been started or run since the refurbishment.
Power is sent to the rear wheel via a replacement Max-Torque automatic centrifugal clutch, a jackshaft, and a drive chain.
A custom stand that matches the bike with a Quarter Horse decal is included in the sale.
The bike does not have a title or registration. It is being sold on a bill of sale only.
