This website answers almost every question about the TACO_logo Mini Bike.
From the first model to the last, the earliest shocks and rims to the later ones and what engines came on which bikes? The mysteries are unraveled on these pages.
 This website is a work in progress and it is not perfect. It’s only one man's interpretation of the history and evolution of the Steen’s TACO_logo Mini Bike... but it is based on Rod and Custom, Cycle World, Karting World, and Mini Bike Guide articles. Also Go-Kart Mfg.and Flexo Products catalogs, as well as all of STEEN'S original catalogs from 1961 to 1971.
 Why build such a site? All of this information on these wonderful Socal American 60’s Mini Bikes (the birth place of Go Karting and Mini Biking) and any knowledge of the STEEN’S Chemicals and Lubricants company was almost lost for ever. This website has been created in hopes of saving and sharing the history of one of the Mini Bikes greatest brands.
 If you have any information on STEEN’S TACO_logo Mini Bikes or a childhood story and any pictures about your TACO_logo experience please email your info.
