Kent Bayside Cruiser Bike - 80CC Motor Build - Affordable - No License Required! 

I have the same bicycle, I mounted my 80cc jet bicycle engine on it. its a really nice ride, it catches the eyes of senior people and other motorized bicycle riders. here are some advice: the rim and their spokes will brake continuously, the mudguards wont last long either. you have to replace the rims for other ones a bit more wide with thicker spokes.

You should put a dual action brake lever for it. So both the front and the rear brakes are on one lever. That goes on the right side and then you only have the clutch on the left.

Ditch the third lever and get a duel brake lever on the right side. NT carb and stock muffler on trash. its also only 66cc unless you pay a Mechanic to bore out the cylinder and put a bigger piston in. I have mine on the same bike.

Thank you, first video that shows keeping all original gear and hand controls.

Put zip ties on your fenders so that if the mounting plate break (which it will due to vibration) the zip ties will stop it falling into the wheel. You probably won't even notice the bracket breaks because if you do the zip ties up nice and tight, it won't matter. If you don't the front one can fall into the front wheel and pitch you over the bars.

No joke. I had the EXACT same bike. EXACT build. I can't believe it. Just finished it yesterday. I was able to hook up both parts of the tank. But bro. TWINZIES. I don't really have mechanical skills but i was able to do it. Nice work man. Liked and subbed. Still can't believe we have the EXACT same bike

I built a 49cc on this model. Kent bayside Walmart. I'm 250 lbs. I bent the rear axle... If you use this model and you intend for an adult male you may need to get a more durable rear axle and/or put a single speed freewheel cog on the rear wheel in place of the stock freewheel and shorten the chain. 😁

check for the arrow direction on the fuel filter. Nice bike

1:33 you forgot to replace the washer and the lock washer on your idler. really helps with the vibration backing off bolts even if you are using a thread locker like loctite, and you don't want that thing tilting into your wheel while you are riding. should also use a washer on the idler wheel's bolt.

These kits should come with a headlight that runs off the engine.

This is awesome Jay, really viable form of transportation in a small town or just a fun way to get around. I might have to build one of these if time permits, great video as always!

Damn I love your modifications !!!.I have a Kent Seachange looking to do some modifying myself !!

I got one for my birthday pretty recently and I knew I was gonna get it, so when I took it out of the box I was happy than I saw the bolt that attaches to the exhaust pipe was bent at a 45 degree angle and the other was straight so I gotta wait another 2 weeks to get a new one

Nice build

Please post more bike kit videos. These are very helpful tutorials.

thanks this was great. im building this exact same bike. i found this to be very informative.

they are fun to build. i my dad and brother all have one and we ride together its a lot of fun. keep up the positive videos there's too many negative ones out there. have fun and ride safe

fuel filter is backwards

Would this work on the single speed version of this exact bike?

If you haven’t done so already I suggest ditching the sprocket part of the kit and get a sprocket adaptor that fits your hub that makes the sprocket 100% true and doesn’t put stress on your spokes cause instead of how the original sprocket attaches to the tire it adaptor bolts 2 parts around your hub instead than bolts your sprocket to that slid it in or out to Aline it than bolt it tight.

I just ordered a motor kit and this same bike, but mine is grey, thanx for the info it was very helpful!!!

You DO need a licence if it goes over 20mph, and you have to be at least 16 years old to operate, check local regulation they also if you are under the 20mph requirement they may require a SMV sign on the rear and flashers.

I built a 29 inch beach cruiser and I gave it a front disc brake and the engine would drip unburnt fuel from the exhaust so I made a air filter from old school PCV for a older model car that goes on the valve cover by removing the rubber grommet and putting two holes one on each side of the air filter Then glueing the filter to the metal base just around each hole so dust can't get in the carburetor and that stopped the problem Of having any unburnt fuel from collecting in the exhaust pipe it allows the carburetor to take the correct amount of air nessesary for the amount of fuel your giving it cause the stock filter constricted the the carburator from taking the nessesary amount of air too completely burn all the fuel

I got that same bike!!!! Hell ya :)

I picked up one second hand that wasn't in running order and built by someone who didn't do much of anything right. I wish I could find the actual instructions somewhere. I already broke the tensioner and ordered a spring loaded one. I wish I could have the original parts and pieces and build it from scratch. That's essentially what I'm gonna wind up doing anyways.

mine wont idle any help? starts up perfectly fine but when i adjust the idle it either goes forward on its own or shuts off

My plan is to get a bike like that when I get my taxes in a few weeks n now after seeing that video🙂🙂🙂 I’m more excited n stoked about getting it lol

It sure reminds me of those bikes from the early 1900s. Back then you really had to pedal it for the motor to start.

Double up and cut to size a old intertube and slide it between motor mounts and frame less vibration easy and free

About to go buy one for my seeutek 80cc kit.

probably the coolest bike ive seen

you need to make a bracket for the rear of the tank. only using the front causes a ton of vibration and the studs will break and cause a leak.

Hey buddy I got the same bike but I would put the clutch underneath your break stopping is more important and for your vibration take an old inner tube from a bicycle and cut you off some pieces and wrap it around the frame and then put your motor back on it should fix the vibrations

Nice bike man! Keep up the great work!

I got this same bike. The hubs were way too tight and not enough grease in the head set or bottom bracket. So when you buy a bike from walmart, make sure you go through it.

Hey that's really cool I also built one in the summer but in October cops came to my house and took it away I I also coul have got close too $5000 worth of charges and some jail time but my dad talked them out of it cuz I was 16 at the time and I built it myself in my backyard. Guys if your reading this make sure you check your local laws on these!! Also if you wanna add some more power remove the black cap off the carb to get more air in the engine and use higher octane gas and you will notice a huge increase in power I also had mine straight piped and man did that thing go, I hit speeds of 80km/h (I'm 135lbs)

Try a diuble brake lever thar way hou can combine your brakes and try running a bolt threw the tentioner pully by the rear sproket. That way it doesnt go into the spokes or upgrade to spring loaded one also cbc hy adapter, way better!

Isnt that the 2 cycle? They tend to be more shaky than the 4 cycle. Still, nice job! You made it look easy! Thanks

"Trottle" 😂 1:09

I think you should move your shifter to the other side. If possible.

Here if it is gas and goes over 20 something , you must ride on road and have a licsen. Oregon

I really enjoy your Videos! Keep up that Great work

I used the same bike but had to chop the rear drops so the tire/wheel could be removed without deflating it. Stock 80cc engine gets the bike to 30mph on level ground.

Fantastic video! Liked and shared on twitter and facebook! As always!

So true , a great way to be entertained

Fuel filter was backwards my friend. Good luck.

Do u use only petrol or mixture of oil with petrol if you use oil with petrol what amount of oil do you mix with the petrol Hope you answer my question Thanks

I have a bike already so this will be very cost effective!

What was the cost for the whole kit?

I was told that I can add a suspension for my beach cruiser which is what I’m gonna do once I get everything

Is this actually 40MPH. It seems more like 40km/h

You can get the second tank bracket on there with a little swearing

That the bike I want to do a build on too. It look real good.

I shared and liked! Keep it up mayiandjay.

Try to use tempered bolts. Metric w 8.8 on top of bolt American hardware grade 5 w 3 lines top of bolt . Use blue loctite on threads so the nut n bolts will not ever loosen.

Super cool wow and it's max speed is 40 not bad

How easy it to adjust the back brakes cuz twice in one month..my chain has falling off my motor so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Cool bike am gonna buy myself one

im all in on bikes been building since 08 but my question is what software are u using to load this video and or edit it. preety cool

Your filter is backwards. Don’t reverse it replace it.

got the same bike, its awesome!

You need to do something about all the exposed line bro they're all over the place

Most bikes with this setup go about 25 to 30 MPH. What is the difference that makes yours go 40MPH? Thanks !

This looks so fun to build. I will make one lol.

Oh yes you do have to have a listants, cool looking bikes though

i don't think you'll reply but does this still work? i'm thinking about doing the same thing with the same bike but i've heard it's shit and the wheels bend. have you had any issues with it?

you should find a ebike version and do a solid review ! i didn't expect this from your channel ! this is badass i just want electric instead of gas powered !

You are a genious very good job, will share and like

My son has same bike and installing motor now but having trouble with chain staying on when it is moving. Any suggestions???

How can you find those clutch that is on that bike…I’m still learning how to use my clutch

Cool bike..😀

Wow this is amazing

top speed?

woahhhhh awesome build :)

just to let you know about these kent bikes if your gonna put a 2 stroke engine in it. The bottom tube goes straight up in a perfect V like some modern road bikes/mountain bikes even tho it has a classic look. you have to buy a offset intake manifold I got one off ebay for 10 bucks.

Why you did not show us how to make it

I just built mine on the same frame.

I just finished installing it but can't get it running. Not getting fuel into chamber from intake. any advice?

you need a spring chain thing that plastic thing wont last its way to close to back wheel

Did you say that you can’t start the motor until you reach 5 miles?

Do people sales these bikes built like this?

How hard was it to install, and how long did it take you install the motor kit, did u have to do any modifications

Does it really matter if I have a chain guard on mine

how are the brakes? and also the overall quality of this bike?

not bad. I don't see a need for it, but it still seems could.

does 10w 40w motor oil goes in the spark plug hole when pour it?

Perfect love it!

I build and sell this exact combo, it works very well, but there's a laundry list of tricks you need to know about in order to make things work correctly, only try this if you're confident in mechanical knowledge, or have time to research, and troubleshoot, other than that, it's a fun challenge...also, it will NEVER go 40mph, lol...not with the parts that he's showing, 27 to 29 max with the "80cc" motor.

i bought the same bike and kit, but the petals wont clear the exhaust, how did you clear it? thanks

your going to get a hole in the gas tank in the front with only 1 clamp i have the same bike and I got two on there

nice bike and who knows I might make one someday or can I have yours just asking :)

Loooking for an "O-Ring /Gasket " for the fuel tank "Gas Cap". Any help out there? Would be much appreciated.

What happens if the bike revs so high when I let the clutch out ? End up having to shut down with the kill switch.

Get rid of the rear fender or saw off part of it. I can see marks that the chain a scraping it. That an accident waiting to happen

How do you stop with the bike brakes

Do you need the wide U bolt to mount the engine?

Are these legal in California?

why did you have to drill a hole on the bars for again? do the screws go threw it?

did you have to shorten your chain?

Still wonder is this bike is legal in NY, cuz I saw 2 of these
