Mechanically, its engine is similar to Honda ATC 185 ATV. This engine was used as a basis for the version supplied by Honda RSC to Colin Seeley for the hand-built Seeley TL200 trials bike.

The motorcycle has a compression release, also called a decompressor valve, which is connected to the kick starter with a cable, to ease starting.
