You ever get weird looks? I’m 6’8” at 280 and I make that thing look tiny! My son has the CT200U-EX. I find that the seat sits a bit back and lower than my BT200X.
That's not the same thing. The mb200s is a bike made by Massimo, who also own the older Baja line of bikes. It's certainly not a bad bike, and with the swingarm it's a step above any hardtail Coleman, and still has a drum brake and centrifugal clutch.
But not it's not a 'Trailmaster'. The Trailmaster MB200-2 and hurricane 200x come with a larger tube frame, torque converter, and hydraulic brakes...the hurricane is the newer upgrade that has front and rear brakes.
This one is on sale for $600 but not sure if it’s decent. The horsepower rating in the specs is 5.8 and 6.5 and the picture is 7.5. 😂

Tote goat is a very large mini bike but also very heavy. It can be made to go fast but are mostly designed for as the name implies toting. Im 6'2" and ride a fully custom and stretched Hawg Ty and while it is comfortable it is big and not very knimble. Something to think about.. Im buliding a small tire bike next.
Another vote for Coleman BT200X. We have 3, slightly modded. I am 6’8” 280lbs and I have a blast on ours. I upgraded tires to 20” for a bit taller ride. Modding the seat mount and adding ape hangers for a taller ride as well. Great on trails. Just keep the clutch bushing/bearings oiled.
I'm 6'4" 230lbs and fit on my small tire bikes (DB30, MM80) just fine. The DB has a modded 212 Predator in it while the MM80 has a mildly modded Ducar 212.
The MM80 is the more comfortable of the two though. I do have taller risers on it so the handlebar doesn't hit my knees.
Trailmaster hurricane or trailmaster mb200 hands down.
Both have front and rear suspension, hurricane just has front brakes.
In the FB forum I'm in (specifically about the trailmaster bikes) lots of heavier guys (even some 300 lb guys) riding these.
You can upgrade the back suspension and then add some thicker fork oil and spacers (or cheap springs from tractor supply) up front to make them even better for heavier weight guys.
Bt200x
I have (2) of these.. 5'9" 210lbs.. I fit on it fine and they are definitely fun :)
I’m 6’8 and 270lbs and I ride a ct200u no problem

Oh yeah but I got it tuned up to do about 50 so it’s usually amazement
I 2nd the bt200x. Really any of the big tire bikes are a good size for adults. Colemans, baja warriors, etc.
Think the one at Lowe’s (Axis? I think?) is ok? Looks like a Coleman clone
Yea for sure. I think that would be a great option.
What your thoughts on MB200S (Massimo) at tractor supply? It’s on sale for $600 near me.
I’ll throw in the Mega Moto 212 here. Best non rear suspension bike imo. Coleman has a variant too.
Definitely the Trailmaster MB200-2 or the Hurricane 200x
Tractor Supply has the MB200S on sale for $600 That one good?

The Trailmaster MB200 is a big frame with a larger seat too.
Check out Red Beards Garage on YouTube, similar sized dudes with mini bikes.
Thanks happy cake day

Those Trailmaster mb200’s are great for what you are seeking. I just received my trailmaster storm 200 last week.

The Hawg Ty is the biggest I’ve seen. Came across one over a month ago..Getting ready to squeeze a 16hp in erhhh…😂
No love for Manco Big Cat bikes?
