Down and Out Fat Tracker BMX

The Fat Tracker BMX from British builder Down and Out is a motorized BMX that straps a petrol engine onto a classic BMX frame, with the frame itself doubling as the fuel tank. It runs engines up to 140cc and reaches around 60 mph, blending 90s street culture with real motorcycle performance. Here is what makes the Down and Out Fat Tracker one of the most talked-about motorized BMX builds around.

What is the Down and Out Fat Tracker BMX?

BMXs remain one of the most iconic rides of the 90s and symbolize the joy of an entire generation. Down and Out decided to revive the BMX, so they strapped an engine to them and used their frame as fuel tanks to create a crazy ride. The result is a fat tracker: a stretched, fat-tyred BMX that keeps the playful silhouette while gaining genuine motorcycle muscle. You can see the build documented in detail by Bike EXIF.

How fast is the motorized BMX and what powers it?

These motorized bikes are paired with engines up to 140cc, reaching speeds up to 60 mph. The fuel is stored inside the frame itself, which is part of what gives the Fat Tracker its clean, tank-free look. Down and Out offers these bikes in parts that you can put together in your garage, or as a full build in offroad or street configuration. Instead of going out on a scooter, this motorized BMX will most likely attract all the attention you can and can't handle. You can configure and order one directly from Down and Out BMX.
