Hey everybody! This is my first video using DaVinci Resolve and it is awesomely high quality compared to my past videos so make sure to have settings on full blast. I finally completed my motorized bike build. A few subscribers were asking for a breakdown of what went into this build so I put this video together going over the parts and a few tips in case you are building your own motorized bicycle It was an awesome project and this homemade motorcycle is a tool that I can use to not only get around on but drive myself to work if needed or just for fun. Thanks for watching. The only part I forgot to mention is that I upgraded to 18 pound springs which increased the speed by 5 miles per hour. You can go as far as 26 lb springs which I considered but I don't want the engine to explode. Anyways please subscribe if interested in the many adventures to come. I do lots of random DIY types of videos and I am a bit all over the place but I hope you enjoy my videos as I love making them. Parts and mods list below
parts/mods

Harbor Freight Predator Engine 212cc 6.5hp 100-$150
Amazon Torque Converter $60 (Customized with sprocket on back) Look for suicide kit if you want to buy it ready for motorcycle builds. I heard they go for around 200 but couldn't find one so customized my go cart one.

- Removed internal Governor

- Large bearing bolted to bike frame holding chain down from top
- Customized torque converter to suicide style for motorcycle use (Must have sprocket on the back or chain will rub sides of torque converter harshly.)
