I Motorized My Bike with No Experience 

11:42 look mum I'm famous 😂

You shouldve put conical wheels on it

i absolutely came up with that suggestion off the top of the dome xxx

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow Preston.

Easiest way to hit 50 is to fix the motorcycle shown in the first few clips. The next is a transmission. A 30 or 40 series torque converter from a go-kart is probably the easiest. You'll also need proper speed rated tires and thicker than bicycle chain.

Vehicle mcvehicle face will one day be brought to a museum and show people how truly legendary it is!!

Preston, I highly appreciate your style of editing, along with storytelling. My friends and I always talk about your videos, and analyze how we can become great storytellers like you. Thanks for all the hard work, and keep up the great storytelling.

5:05 I'm now going to fully entrust chatgpt as my doctor, as my skydiving instructor, as my airplane mechanic to build a plane from scratch, and aerospace engineer to build a manned rocket to the moon

Add playing card to the rear wheel of the bike! Easy 10 mph boost

I build streetlegal motorcycles with that Predator 420cc and get 60 mph out of them. Proper gearing is key, It should have a 6 to 1 gearing. For example, I run a 10-tooth on the clutch, and a 60-tooth rear sprocket on a 24-in rear tire and about 4600 rpm will get 55mph+. Correct gearing and that motor will make your bicycle a lethal threat! Stock rpm on an equipment motor is usually 3600, if you bypass the governor you will get more rpms.

hands down best cover of Fast Car ever

Your musical skills add so so so much to the video i just cant believe how much more enjoyable a build video is when its formatted like this, preston you're not just a content creator/influencer, you're a total genius artist!! stay humble and stay awesome!!! only wishing the absolute best things for you!! ❤

You are one of the few RU-vidrs I always look forward to seeing upload. Keep it up brother!

Your videos have so much childlike wonder in them, they're so positive and always make my day better :)

5:18 i recommend trusting a set of safety glasses - always a good idea! Sorry, this is my one hill I’ll die on 😂 there’s never a good excuse for not wearing eye protection

No one on RU-vid is as authentic to themselves as Preston! His personality can’t help but shine through in his videos! Keep it up Preston!

Happy, Quirky, Funny, Creative Content. That's why we love your channel.

Need more people like this on RU-vid haven’t seen this stuff since I was a kid made my day. Appreciate it more than anything.

Awesome video Max Fosh cameo was amazing The ad integration works great You driving on the road was awesome to watch

Love the music on this one like all your videos, i appreciate you put so much love and attention to all the small details to your videos man❤️❤️

😂 handlebars got you looking like a T-Rex 🦖

I love how you keep using auto-tune in your vids! Keep it UP!!

Yay Preston uploaded!!!

It’s a good day when Prestongoes posts a new video 🥳🙌🏼

You are by far the coolest person on RU-vid. Please never stop making awesome content like this. I subscribe to Hacksmith Industries and Mark Rober, and still, your projects are the best! Much Love ❤

You can't imagine how much endorphin I produce every time I see you upload a new video! You should be at one millionen subscribers already!

This was the first video I've watched from your channel. And I have to say it was AMAZING! From the beginning of your idea to build, to actually build your motorcycle. Then the advertisement from KiwiCo 'till the end from your finished project. It was all so entertaining and just ao satisfying to watch. And I think that is for the viewer the best experience you can get. Really great video^^ And sorry for my bad English. I'm a viewer from germany😅

this is it. this is the tutorial on how to build a motorcycle. I also love how honest you are about making ur video. Watching you fail, but push through to succeed is so wholesome and encouraging.

loved this video like basically all other videos you've made, your editing style stays so good. i love how it's fun with catchy tunes, but you still keep it real.

constantly impressed by your ability to just build stuff. and make catchy songs.

I'm from India loving your content man the way you're story telling+own songs+next level editing man🤌

Not me singing “Vehicle McFace” for 2 weeks 💀🎵

7:33 that passingby friendly motorcyclist under the guise of being friendly was not asking that question out of curiousity, but as a malevolent attempt to strike a devastating blow to Preston's ego seriously though, hopefully he gets to watch the video to have his question answered

Yeah you really are the best RU-vidr out there. It’s official now.

my grandpa did stuff like that and it remebers me the time he was building things like that. We callt things like that hingeedgard! maybe jyou juse that in one of your songs... love from germany :)

Man u have natural talent for making videos, love your ideas, songs, and the best part your editing, keep up the good work!!! :))

Dude you deserve so many more subs. You are the most joyous, uplifting, encouraging creator on youtube. thanks for what you do.

No one does mid-video ads better than Preston! What a deal for all of his sponsors rather than casually reading the required script.

I build custom motorized bicycles on my channel and I’ve never seen one like this. Very cool project, bro. Thanks for sharing it.

This is the perfect challenge for Jeremiah Burton and @donut This is the collab we’ve been looking for

You could say he was really wheel-y serious about upgrading his ride

1. make sure the front main sprocket and rear drive gear are exactly in line with each other vertically (same vertical plane). 2. add a small gear to the chain tensioner to prevent horizontal sliding of the chain. 3. don't try to mix bicycle parts and motorcycle parts (namely gears and chains on the same path) 4. make sure your high mounted axle is 90 degrees to the direction of the frame and is level with the ground 5. just saw the worst problem seems to be the chain on the cassette drive (5 gears on right rear) is sliding on your makeshift cyclindrical chain tensioner and is throwing the chain, if not attempting to jump to another gear. I can see it in a single-frame screenshot. If you have and address, I can send you the screenshot with an arrow.

Preston!!! This is just what I needed after having such a crappy week.

i am obtaining my driving permit hopefully soon in 4 weeks im 15 and beside driving a car i really want to ride a motorcycle though i look up to preston so much and want to be more like him #putmoreengines

Great video. I found your channel through the video you did with Max and have since gone back and watched the entire back lodge of videos on your channel. I particularly enjoyed the Canadian sleeper train video ❤

Honestly the most creative youtuber, so good

Another Banger. Love the positive vibe always

Someone who actually puts work into his vids

I just love it how it shakes so violently at idle that it almost picks up the back end.. 10/10 would want to ride this.

I've instantly started liking your videos before I've even watched them, because I know the sound track will be banging

i totally dug this. Looks like my backyard full of big ideas with many little problems, all can be overcome.

that song earned you our sub I'm in stitches , was good , holding up until the chain snapped

I love how Preston shares life lessons in such a fun and wholesome way. 11:07

The best sponsership segway ever😂

Best videos on RU-vid! Dude, Keep Going!

I love the songs. This is the most unique video ever

One of the best videos I have ever seen on RU-vid! So entertaining!

You're so real. Love your videos! Great meeting you at the Spotter HQ 🔥

Your storytelling ability is just so good my god

world class editing preston..one of a kind!!❤

I'd be super stoked for part 2

It's really hard not to like Preston's videos, because we all wish we had the time and crazy ideas to just hack something together and have fun, even if he makes some terrible engineering decisions. He's also a very likeable guy with positive energy.

The MUSIC in this one!!!!! Love the throwbacks

I built a motorized bike this way with a luggage rack and an 80cc predator back in college. Watching this gave me all the flashbacks... I learned so much about how not to do it, but the main thing to fix it was getting the clutch springs right and a chain tensioner. The high center of balance was horrible to keep the bike upright when stopped, but I couldn't really fix that. The chain coming off and locking the back tire going about 25 mph was brown pants worthy.

Gotta give you props for making entertaining ad breaks that I willingly sit through.

Also use a CVT (comet Torque Converter 40 series) because that clutch will burn up if geared for high speed and you ride a slow speeds or stop and go.

Your videos are awesome, man. Great work, really, you're the best!

centrifugal clutch and proper sprocket size is everything

excellent video I must say. loved the musical bits

I love your videos man. They're always funny and creative, but god damn your editing style fucking kills me with laughter. Keep doing what you do brotha!

I love your videos it seems like you are always in a great mood and have a great sense of humor I like your corny jokes they're actually pretty funny

I love that you post high quality and entertaining vids keep it up

Im really suprised... first video I've watched of yours, and im amazed by the production quality. For crying out loud this is also the first time ive ever actually watched someone's sponsor segment for kiwi co just because you found a way to make an advertisement fun to watch😂.

STOOOOOOOPPPPPP 4:33 is the best thing on the internet.

I love your content, your editing, your energy and your smile.😊

My comment is gone. Use #40 or #420 chain and sprockets on both sides. 10T on Clutch, 20T on clutch side of jackshaft, 10T on other side of jackshaft, 20T on drive wheel…. 53mph at engine speed of 3600RPM. Use CVT, not centrifugal clutch, if you will do a lot of stop and go or low speed driving. Gearing the bike for 50mph, but driving much slower burns and eats clutches. Continuously variable transmissions, cvts, torque converters,…. Are better for allowing a wider range of speeds. Do not use 1/4” pitch chains or sprockets. No bicycle chains or sprockets allowed with 420cc.

Dude that chain pop was seriously gnarly!

Good job Preston u did amazing!!!

another banger, just started a project, needed this

How are you not at 1M subscribers yet?!?!?! So fun watching your innovation

One suggestion, I am building a three-wheeler. Therefore, to make it go faster, use a Go-kart engine. With a mower engine, it has a clutch in the engine, A Go-kart engine has no clutch, that is where you get the speed. Plus, the Go-kart engine has a clutch mounted to the side of the engine to where u give it throttle, you GO. I am sorry I cannot spell the word. "T-force clutch". Good Luck! Steve

yay!! Ive been waiting too long!

4:31 damn that song was amazing, keep up the great work

Lots of good advice here, also, you should look at what chain tensioners look like in real life, a skateboard wheel works pretty well

Keep making the songs, love'em. ❤‍🔥💭

Damn you. This is the first vid of your I’ve had the honor of watching. Now I’m going to hum your bikes name in my head for at least 2.35 weeks. It could be a lot worse. Worst case was baby shark for a month or so. And then I relapsed. It was a $hit sho! New sub!!

What I noticed: You put just a bar as the chain tensioner for the chain to slide over. You really should put a roller or wheel of some sort there instead and make the arm holding it spring loaded to keep tension on it. Keep is up with you projects! You earned my sub, love engineering shenanigans!

That vehicle-song will haunt me in my dreams 🫣😂. Love your stuff, found you through your train-travel-video, you can do anything and be fun, going places mate 💚😎.

Vehicle McVehicle McVehicle Face, I can't think of a better name my bike should EMBRAAAAACCCCEEEEEE 🏍🛵🚲

I was watching on my tv but jus had to grab my phone to come and comment on how funny this is😭😭. i really thought chat gpt was right. I subscribed and haven’t even made it through the whole video yet😂😂😂

There is no way you dont succeed, keep doing what your doing.

I'm so confused on why you would rather spend 350 on a motor than fixing your motorcycle haha

Every time Preston uploads, I just jump out of happiness

Torque converter and proper chain tensioner would do amazing things for ya. You need disc brakes and larger road worthy wheels as well. Also there are calculators online to get the correct gear ratio to go as fast as you want

Max Fosh and The Arsenal appearing in a Preston Goes video was extremely unexpected but very welcome COYG

Super impressive Preston! Way to not give up 😅

Dude your editing and storytelling is so good it's crazy. Love your work man! If you ever wanna do rocket stuff lemme know :)

💯 Bones, 💯 Bones 💯 Bones, '(Yeah).Bro that sh!+ was 🔥

Already a Headphone Kit Modification: Either disassemble headphones or do modification upon building headphone kit. The Tyvek/felt on the back of the driver baskets covering the vent holes, take it off with a sharp pencil by poking through to the vent holes without damaging the cones or cut covering from baskets with a knife or an xacto knife, and pack cups with fiberglass from an aquarium shop upon reassembly. This allows driver cones more excursion on bass notes for more tone!

Nicely made is the process well done.
