Taco mini bike parts5/29/2023 ![]() SoCal entrepreneur Joe Rivello has revived the Taco name around 2010with a new line of minis built in the spirit of the originals, but updated with more modern construction and components. Steen’s company built countless thousands of its Tacquito, Burrito, and Frijole-model mini-bikes between ’63 and ’71, until more sophisticated Honda Z50 and Kawasaki Coyote mini-cycles put the mini-bike makers out of business. Taco Mini Bike was the brainchild of John Steen, a top off-road racer and the inventor of Steen C, the first 100-percent synthetic motor oil. These rigid-framed, lawnmower-powered mini-bikes were most likely made by Taco, the biggest-and most randomly named-mini-bike manufacturer of that era. A Taco mini bike relives the great American dream of the 1960s and your first two-wheeled experience might have been on one such machine.
