A chopper bicycle is a type of bike modeled after chopper motorcycles. The main feature of chopper bicycles is the inclusion of custom parts to give them a unique look. Chopper bicycles typically have an elongated frame and chrome accessories. If you want to get attention while riding your bike, consider purchasing a chopper bicycle.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find online stores that sell chopper bicycles. Unless you know of a custom bike shop within your area, you may need to shop online for chopper bicycles. Some examples of sites you can use are Northwest Chopper Bicycles and Bicycle Designer.

  2. Step 2

    Decide between a prefabricated chopper bicycle and a custom chopper bike. A prefabricated version is ready to ship, while a custom chopper is built to order and you can choose your options for the bike. Custom choppers give the buyer the chance to select frame type, fork, tires, rims and more.

  3. Step 3

    Inquire about the size and ages that can use the chopper bicycle. Before you buy a chopper bicycle, you need to know the recommended ages for operating the bike. Also, find out what size individuals the chopper can accommodate.

  4. Step 4

    View features and specifications of the chopper bicycle. Look at the fork size, handlebar type, frame build, seat type, tires, tubes and rims.

  5. Step 5

    Determine the shipping arrangements for the chopper bicycle. If you are unable to pick up the bike, it will most likely arrive unassembled. Make sure the company includes detailed instructions on how to put the bike together. Also, inquire about the shipping charges you need to pay. You can then proceed to make payment for the bike.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep in mind that a chopper bicycle is likely to be expensive and cost upwards of a few hundred dollars.
