You can build a mini-bike with a lawn mower engine. The difficult part is that the shaft of the lawn mower and the shaft of the mini bike run in different directions.

yes it is very possible it will require a lot of time though. it would include stripping the engine from mower mounting it side ways on the mini bike and changing the blade out so you could run a chain through it.

Yes you definitely can use the engine of a lawn mower to build a mini bike. Of course you would need to be an experienced mechanic to properly assemble the lawn mowers engine to the frame of the bike.

Yes, absolutely. That's how minibikes began - somebody put a lawn motor engine on a small bicycle fame, and the rest is history. Of course, now you can buy a premade frame that won't require a lot of additional welding like those old ones did.
