@@wompstopm123 road bikes (skinny tires) easily top 30mph. I have chicken legs and can do it with ease. Ive hit 38 mph with only a slight decline. Scary fast on a bike imo and way faster than one needs to go.
My cousin has rode by a few cops on one of these and only got stopped once. The cop that stopped him just wanted to see what the bike was. Said it was the coolest thing he’s ever seen. These bikes are awesome
I’ve never gotten pulled over on mine but I’ve passed by cops going 30 on neighborhood roads and all they did was wave and smile. Cops shouldn’t ever give a shit about what you’re doing on these unless it’s something illegal, I understand these are illegal if you don’t have lights, a mirror, a license or a motor bike license but what’s the illegal part about having fun on a bike?
I'll never forget my first ride home from work. I had been building and tuning my little 48cc engine all summer, and had gotten the top speed up from 25mph to 36mph. I ripped down the road at top speed, at midnight, without a car in sight, so I never had to stop or slow down. The cool night air gave me a noticable boost in power, so I never even had to pedal either. I was scream-laughing the whole way home.
Wow, it’s fantastic! I’m 16, and going to buy 49cc engine kit. Therefore, what tuning did you do? I want to try it. I’m not English speaker, sorry if my English was bad.
@@iamthefuckinhamster not a native speaker, but your english is good, atleast its not like "i are buy 49cc engine kit, what you do tuning? My english sorry if are its bad"
@@breezetix colder air is denser, so it has more oxygen. If your engine runs a little rich (too much fuel), a little more oxygen will allow more of that fuel to burn.
I ride my one around town and get a lot of weird looks. People don't really understand what's going on because they see a push bike but it sounds like someone is going open throttle on a weed trimmer 🤣
Me too it happened in my street and dirt motorcycle neighbors outside talking and they hear me a extremly loud chainsaw sound whizzing past and a lot of white smoke fogged them from me guessing how much and adding too much 2 cycle oil in the gas mix. Was like a James Bond smoke screen.
@@LiL_EyeBags the China motor is OK for general use i had one but I think the clutch went on it or it seized I couldn't move the chain and back wheel,but it can be upgraded with a bigger head and centrifugal clutch also better exhaust pipe to give the right back pressure.
Kool video. I use my motorized bike to and from work. It's way better than public transportation or walking. My engine kit has paid for itself many times over and still running strong, best investment I ever made.
Got it from Amazon, "Kabocho" 66cc 2 stroke kit. It has a one piece jug and cylinder head, so there is no up grading the head which kinda sucks, but it still has great compression. But since it's a standard GT-5 66cc engine, I upgraded to a windowed piston with a reed valve set up, with a expansion chamber, so it's got power. Any GT-5 upgrade will work on this engine brand.
@@michaelluciano7774 Thank you for that information! One more thing, would you buy it again and if not what would you get? I'm new at these engines and need some help selecting one.....lol of course I want as much power but reliability too.
Yeah I would get this engine again, the engine itself has been good to me, nothing major has gone wrong with it. If your new at this, then yeah I would say to buy it.
That motor sounds like it's running very good. I have a 40 tooth sprocket on mine for the winter snow and ice, 30 mph is fast enough on the ice here. I'll put my 32 tooth sprocket on in spring & see how fast mine will go.
Im using the 44 tooth,its great.I broke the spindle thing on the bicycle side awhile ago so its just the motor at present.I live in kinda hilly not too bad area.There is only a couple hills around that I have to walk the bike up eventually. I have literally traveled a billion kilometers on this bike this year(got the 80cc engine in the spring). Advice 1,get good bearings and as big a hub as you can. If you travel too fast too long on bad greased bicycle bearings it frigs up. Happened to me,after a long while they over heated and the hub buckled in.
I don't know, I think the top speed was adequate. Those tires aren't meant for high speeds anyway and riding a motorized bicycle beats walking or peddling any day. Nice video.
Where i live is a rural area and its a long mile to reach the town and it is difficult to get transportation after certain hours i would love to have a motorized bicycle like that to travel on. Nice video love how she moves smooth and fast
I ordered a 80cc bike kit a few days ago and it’s coming Thursday. I don’t have a car and i was curious about making something like this for commuting. This video has me convinced i made the right decision
i get one myself, and damn this think go strong, i live on the mountains and my city has the the steepest hills you can imagine, and this thing just climb, and with the actual gas price, you can ride a lot, this motor makes 65km per liter! a must have for sure!
The oil is very important. I used two stroke oil from the gas station. It was good. But after a friend of mine gave me his racing car oil. The motor sounds sooo clean and it goes at least 5mph faster. Don't save money for oil my friends!
I agree, I usually will get it to normal operation temperature,take a flathead then I'll set the air/fuel mixture by ear hauling ass down the street......ehh that's just me I guess!! 😂
I plan on buying one of these motors to put on this old road bike I scored on. Being the only transportation I have for a little while. I work 7 miles away, and walking is a no go. After a long day of work I definitely dont want to be riding a normal pedal bike home either
@@brainerdglarpinax420 I was going to get one of the $130 kits. I figured if I went to low on price the motor would be junk. If I wanted to go the proper route, id go to an official website that sells them. But I know Amazon will be able to get here faster than any official websites. I checked out your page. But I didn't see anything for bmx bikes. I have a bmx bike, but i figured the frame is too small to mount the motor. So I have this older straight frame road bike in going to put it on. And maybe get a mountain bike with thicker tires for when it snows
Love the video! Audio was great and the video was pointing forward and not at the ground. And I'm not sure where you live, but the area is scenic and interesting. A lot of variation. Where i live it's very boring. Not sure what you have on your bike, but look up Springs/Shocks (spring steel) for your bike seat! My seat was giving me a butt/back ache and was hurting my bits, but i got one of spring seat addons, and it was night and day difference. The ride was nice as smooth on my bum. Should help with a smoother ride. Just make sure to use some loctite thread-locker on it, since the bumps will loosen it so you need to loctite that B and tighten it with a cheat bar. For you, you might also be able to find front fork shocks/shock absorbers for the front wheel pretty cheap. Finding front shocks for my bike isn't so easy, but for yours it May be a bit easier! Sadly we can't use rear shocks.
I have a great bike. I called it "Gramps "because it is the first one I owned! I still have the bike! It's not running at the moment, but it will be once I port it out!
i just got mine fully working, the chain retension pully is a tripple pain to get set up just right, but i drove mine 2 miles and the chain pulley is alright
I need to replace the engine on mine. Broke the motor mount studs and caused damage to the engine casing. Really enjoyed having that engine on my bike though. I plan on building a little trailer to pull behind it to carry stuff from the store and such.
@@bronwynohalloran-sutton5551 I have a rear carrier rack that I installed saddle bags on, but the bike/engine went to the scrap yard a few months ago. I'll start from scratch again with a better engine and bike LOL.
Just got 4 tickets riding one of these things. Unlicensed, unregistered, un-inspected, and uninsured. Court date is damn near a month away so I’ll try to come back w an update
I've been riding since I was "12", but this MOTORIZED stuff is new to me. I use to "PEDDLE" a bike from: "ARLINGTON TX" to places like: "ARLINGTON", "GRAND PRAIRIE", "PANTEGO", "DALWORTHINGTON GARDENS", Sometimes even to "DALLAS"! Make it from "HOME" to "DALLAS" usually in "45 minutes", but my record was "30 minutes" (HAWLING ###, YOU BET). But that was when I was "27- 29 years old", and now I'm "55" (with some health problems) those days are long gone. So I'm definitely eager to learn "EVERYTHING" I can about this MOTORIZED BIKE STUFF! Because I would rather "DIE" than depend on public transportation (which sucks 😔), or depend on others to take me everywhere I need/want to go. That chauffeur stuff is for "RICH FOLKS", WHICH I'M NOT, AND NEVER WANT TO BE.
Baby Farks makeezacks engine braking would be detrimental for a 2 stroke engine. Your basically forcing it to rev to high rpms because it’s engaged to the bike at high speed, while your throttle position is at idle. Basically, the throttle position is not high Enough to give the engine sufficient lubrication by the fuel and oil mixture when it’s reviving at higher rpms than it should with respect to the throttle position. The motor will slowly burn out by that. My guess is over time the piston rings and con-rod bearings will get worn down to the point where you will start to loose compression. Then it’s bye-bye to the engine unless you wanna rebuild it and install new rings and hone the cylinder
Joshua Frailey I honestly really like my 2 stroke, yes it’s not the strongest engine and parts will break but the parts are cheap. I’d rather spend 20 dollars on a part and not double that for a bigger engine. 2 strokes can get just as many cc’s as a 4 stroke and still be cheaper. They’re also soo much easier to fix. But we have our own opinions and I respect yours.
Built one of those things and rode it all around town for a year. It was 2018. Moved away for college. Not rich. Had to work on the weekends to survive. Transmission in my Nissan went out. Had to figure something out or I was f**ked. Got an engine kit and got to work on an old used bike. I remember the painstaking maintenance. The f**king chain pulling the rear spoke out of place all the time. The chain snapping itself apart if it had too much or too little slack. All the trial and error to get the most optimized version...and then the f**king peril of riding it around a busy college town evading all the road and sidewalk hazards trying to kill me. I had fun with it. It got me through some hard times. Looking back, I miss that stupid POS bike
I thought it was darkish to have one of these tell I actually had one.... better then walking, more fun then driving a car... and cheaper then a motorcycle Is my best way of explaining it.
Try adjusting the needle inside the carburetor either put it on the first groove or 3rd it could make the bike faster like mine and try to adjust the clutch it’s too grabby
The clutch on mine was really grabby too for a while, after a few months it seemed to get worn in to where it was very smooth. I need to get a replacement engine for mine really miss riding it. Thinking about getting a different bike though that would be more suited for an engine than my old mountain bike though.
My city bike comes with a 3 speed rear hub. Tricky thing is gonna be to fit the fuel tank with a low body. Could go on the rear rack or bolt a tube between the seat and front chassis. Currently looking to build one since the 1988 Pajero with timing chain problems gets like 12L/100km of 98 octane. Oof.
@@adriancastillo5261 put it Out front on The Lawn back in like 2007 for Someone to Take.. I had my fun with It, and Was getting Rid of stuff To hit The Road for Jesus.. o__o :)
I really don’t understand how this is illegal in some parts of the world. It’s just like a motorbike. As long as you wear PPE such as gloves a helmet and you are being safe then it shouldn’t be illegal.
I've been running a 35 tooth sprocket and getting top speed of 48mph and my motor isn't quite broke in yet, But you do loose all your bottom end on take off.
I am getting a Schwinn hybrid 7 speed with disc breaking a guy in town builds motorized bikes I will get a friction drive 4 stroke 53cc Honda motor on mine
Are you from Mexico or Spain? I was kinda weirded out at the beginning of the video. These streets looks like here in Brazil, but with a decent asphalt.
Parents but your first car after a few months or a year (1) sell it for some cash if its in good condition i guarantee it sell it 3-8k its a first car its not gonna be expensive so cheap make one of these and keep saving up
What cc's.?mite need to up grade cc's or get performance parts after you break in the motor in miles you don't want to blow a head ring or warp your head..
if you haven't already, put a velocity stack on it and port the intake manifold and port as well as the exhaust port and gut the long rod thing that's attached to the end cap of the exhaust muffler and could open up the befalling holes that are in the muffler and need to adjust the carb a bit to and paired with the 36 sprocket or better would be a 32 than just hold the throttle at like 80% and save fuel and not be as loud
It really depends on the size of the bike, the weight of the rider, and the sprocket size that attaches to the rear wheel assembly. The one I had would go 28mph with a 180lb rider on it, that was stock, can't recall what sprocket it had, but it was plenty fast enough for a bicycle, don't need to be going that fast in the first place on a bike LOL. I would cruise at about 20mph with it most of the time and it did quite well, hills were hard on it though. I need to replace the engine on my bike as I broke a couple mounting studs and damaged the engine casing as a result. It would get well over 100mpg too which was great. I want to build another motorized bike but put a gas engine on it like my old one plus add an electric motor hub up front for a hybrid system and find some way to get the gas engine to be able to charge the battery for the electric motor hub.
