Briggs and Stratton motor bicycle

Here I've attached a bullet-proof 2hp 4 cycle (no oil/gas mix necessary) briggs motor (under 49cc) and I'm still able to pedal with all gears. In my state I can ride this with a drivers license but no registration is required. Top legal speed is 30 mph. This was a test vehicle to see if I could have my bicycle camper in tow. Unfortunately the 24" rim/big pulley I attached to the rear wheel was not successful in gearing it down enough for steep hills. My motor is old and you still have to assist it going up steep hills, but it's a fun ride. I'm able to pop the belt off the idler wheel when pedaling for any distance which reduces a lot of unnecessary drag.

you had me at the zip ties. I mean seriously though. You inspired me slap a rim on my spokes with little screws and 1/4" plywood backer. so far it handles 3HP NO PROBLEM. Hopefully those hills will continue calling you to make it multi-speed.

That’s pretty slick! Had a similar setup (GEBE kit I bought) many years ago and loved the thrill I got from riding it. Good times. Not been able to ride any bike this last year due to health. Anyone riding one of these be sure to have fun safely! You’re sure to thrash yourself wrecking at 30mph... I lost a good pair of jeans this way.

i dont get why you cut the spokes though??? In all your videos you are all about reusing and doing things that prevent excessive waste, but here you just cut the spokes instead of taking them apart. that is very wasteful....

Neat project! Could you not just turn the tensioner arrangement into a Jack shaft/tensioner with two pulleys and then Have a short belt to a larger pulley on the jackshaft and a second belt on the smaller Jack shaft pulley to the large wheel mounted pulley thus adding further reduction. Pulleys could be turned from aluminium in the same way you filed your roller wheel

@jackoneil3933 2 года назад
Very cool Paul! How's the handling with all that weight behind the rear axle? I added 10 lbs of battery and controller to a rear rack of my franken-ebike and it made it pretty unstable. But, once I got used to it (like flying a helicopter or an airplane with a severely aft CG condition) and got on to using the instability to aid in cornering it's sort of a fun.

Did you ever see my other briggs bike? (link at the end of this video). On that I was able to use all 7 gears with the motor, but was unable to pedal and the gearing was still quite high. My ideal version would be the briggs mounted in the frame with full suspension and use of the pedals but still have the engine powering the 7 gear cassette for low gearing enabling a bike camper to be in tow. Any thoughts?

That was my intent, but the gearing is still too high. A 20" rear wheel and a smaller centrifugal clutch pulley may help, but probably will still not be enough for steep hills with a camper in tow.
