Out joy ridding. Nothing special about this bicycle, just a good old 212 mounted on a cheap bike from walmart. So far everything is holding up but this is very very dangerous.
This is exactly what I was going to do to mine and it's exactly what I thought it would be. Keeping up with traffic, no lag on take off. I knew it would be. Thanks for the vid
i though about that idea on another bike i like to build. the 212 makes good power but its way too heavy and bulky. can't even take anywhere. a 79cc would be a ideal.
I did this with my 22 phatmoto rover, but with heavy head work, billet flywheel, .265 hot cam, and a 22mm mikuni carb. Don't build the engine this much, the front wheel wont stay down no matter what under more than 1/4 throttle. It jumps off the line like a dirt bike and pulls all the way to 70mph. I love the way it rides, and still gets 55mpg even when I ride it hard. I wouldn't use this big of a cam again because it is too much torque for daily riding.
@@mikhailjairnisbett441 well, if you think about it, a 212cc engine that makes 16hp, yes its gonna use more fuel than a 49cc that makes 2hp, technically its more efficernt because its 8x more power and only 2x the fuel consumption... also note that my bike has wide tires, double the weight of a regular bike, and I am not easy on the throttle, my average speed is 45mph and top speed is around 75mph.
Present🙋👍I can safely say that you have taken itoo a new level.Im only 1 month into motorized bikes and there will be a rise in its uses. Bike shops are againsthem here it seems strange. Organized ignorance. Ride free outhere everyone..😁
Nice, that thing purrs like a kitten. I bet your ride is smooth AF. I have a 136cc with a death row TC. I need a custom vertical mount so i can fit it in my felt faker gas frame. Ill also have to have an intake and exhaust header custom made. Wish i had it all together, but winter is here now and ill have to wait anyways. Thanks for the video 🙂
I have the same arrangement and decided to leave the governor in place. It just goes as fast as it should with no suspension and low speed rated tires.
At this point why don't you just buy a motorcycle? I don't know what state you're in but in my state you don't have to insure a motorcycle. So get yourself a small displacement bike, which will be dirt cheap because everybody wants big displacement. And ride a real motorcycle. It's going to be safer in every way possible. You're going to have more tire more brake and if you want it more speed for sure
this bicycle is an eye candy neck breaker. i get stop every time and get question where did i got it from LOL. this video was made for my viewers that it's possible to motorized a bicycle with a 212 power plant. this is not my daily transportation, this project was made for the fun of it. and no i don't want a heavy motorcycle where i can't ride in areas where motorcycle forbids to go and never tend to get one. when shit hits the fan all i want is a bicycle that can keep up with traffic. thanks for watching!!!
@@iceyaj3167 so lots of men are stopping you and talking to you.. not a single woman? You do know guys will talk to you more if you've got a motorcycle right
Got me a 212, and a diamond frame. Gotta figure out how to get the extra wide pedals on it, and what the most solid wheel to sprocket connection I can have is. I would like to end up with 9 speeds out back, and 2 in the front, or a one speed with a small sprocket in front, and a 9 speed out back. I wanna torque my ride out so I can haul real heavy stuff like an extra large dog, and construction material.
You got the same mirror as I got. They look cool but are short and if you losen bolts on mirror too much the 2 nuts inside the mirror will fall out! Yeah, :/ they put nuts not even glued inside the mirror.
i can't really say because i don't really drive it as often. in my case i have a lot of stop and go traffic and see the wear and tear on the belt. im on my second belt. your situation may very. if you are going this route just bring you another belt along your trip. you don't wanna break down in the middle of no where without a belt. good luck and ride safe.
Hey man you got any footy of the engine mount or drivetrain? After seeing this I stopped my other 2 stroke project and decided that this is the way to move me around.
I don't have any footage on the drivetrian. The drivetrain is a cvt torque converter similar to those use on go-karts. The difference is the driven output shaft had a 415 sprocket on the end of the shaft which drives the chain. This particular cvt torque converter is call the "death row" transmission. You can find them on ebay. For the engine mount it's nothing but a 10 gauge steel plate welded onto the frame. Then the 212 mounts on top of it. The seat tube has to be remove. Trial and error. But the effort wasn't in vain. Time spent was well worth it. Basically it's a motorcycle with pedals. Thanks for watching and good luck
Yeah I have to cut the seat tube out in order to make it happen. It's a trial and error project but at the end it was well wroth it. Thanks for watching!
I am waiting on my torque converter and I have my motor installed on a beach cruiser but the motor is lined up dead center with the bike and im concerned the drive sprocket is going to be too far off to the side to line up with my rear sprocket. Any suggestions?
If your bike has an installation kit design for the 212 with the cvt torque converter than everything should line up right. if not, i suggest you wait until you install the torque converter onto the engine than reinstall the whole thing onto the bike then go from there. that way you have some where to go by and make any changes and adjustment on your drive chain. i hope this helps and good luck on your build.
i don't know how much it'll burn to a tank of gas but what i do know it only burns about 1/4 of gas @ 17 mile trip with a 32t rear sprocket. i don't drive it long enough to know the actual fuel milage. there's no modification done on the engine, still have the factory air filter box. only thing i done on the engine i had the muffler removed and ran a straight pipe. thanks for watching!!!!
What gears you running I’m running 10t/56t 212cc need bigger sprocket with tc I’m doing 65mph + with predator just governor, delete 18 pound springs and billet flywheel and straight pipe with VM 22 carburetor. Are used to run a 10 to 4twos on Mike to 12 but I was informed to try a bigger sprocket and it I was a big difference.
It doesn't have any gears. I run what ever the CVT torque converter comes with. But I do run a 36 tooth rear sprocket topping out at 47mph with the governor still intact. Everything on the engine is stock from the factory but expect the exhaust. I don't think I want to go that fast especially on a bicycle frame. I feel much safe cruising below 40. Drive safe and thanks for watching!
I’m also using a torque converter it has a 10t gear. What I was saying is the torque converter with a 212cc like the bigger sprocket in the rear try a 56t on the rear. You’re engine will run better and will be a lot faster. Than with the 36t it’s totally different then a 2stroke that like the smaller sprocket like the 36t
@@mbrrideitlikeyoustoleit8436 from my experience the larger your rear sprocket the more torque at the pickup speed but will decrease top speed. The smaller the rear sprocket the more speed you'll gain but decrease low end torque.
You are a 💯right with a 2stroke you want a small sprocket for more top speed. I thought the same thing someone told me to try a 56t with my 212cc and I thought he was crazy but he was 💯right I’m going 60mph with a 56t rear sprocket and could go faster but don’t have the balls. I used to run a 40t on the rear with my 212cc. Hey cool bike either way. But try the big sprocket you will be very impressed.
How well does it fit, what kind of clearance do you have by the top of the head? did you have to make any supports custom or do any magic to fit that engine?
Yesterday I just bought a 7-speed Kent 2600 Bayside from the cheng chung store.....I mean Wal-Mart, and wanted to do the same engine swap you did except I wanna keep my derailer and 7-speeds. By ANY chance is that possible to do without chopping the entire bike in half? I'm new to the bike community so I'm sorry if my questions may seem a little effy. 😅
Little late, but w/e That bike will not work with predator 212 unless you modify the frame or get the small head from bikeberry/gasbike etc. . Better option for you will be a 80cc 4 stroke kit (it's plenty). As for the gears, you can still use them since they don't get in the way of the sprocket connected to the transmission. You can even add a shift kit that you can use with your 7-speed but it's a little bit more involved so I don't recommend it for newbies.
@@hellknight003 Here's one I'd like to see if anyone has tried.. a 212 cc friction drive set up. with that power I can see being able to use a large roller with means lots of top end.
Get a "jackshaft". Its just a small sprocket that attaches to ur normal drive sprocket by a short chain and has another sprocket on the side with ur original bike sprockets and u can run a chain from that side of the jackshaft to ur original sprocket with gears but id suggest getting an upgraded chain and gears cuz that engine is way more powerful than what its made for
It ride smooth 35 to 40 city limit cruising speed. On the big open road I cruse at 48 just to keep up with traffic. I can gear it for more mph but I'm happy with 48. Thanks for watching
@@iceyaj3167 thank you for letting me knwo, im currently iun the making of one and all i need to do is add the back tire a cvt and brakes im very excited. great build you have
good question. im not sure. you might want to give them a call and see if it will fit. also you'll find the engine mounting hole pattern on HarborFreight website see if it will match the engine mount on the bike. sorry i couldn't help much.
Yes, check out the Phatmoto Facebook page. There's a guy on it who makes mounts to fit directly on the Phatmoto frame, no mods. facebook.com/groups/208333067191742/?ref=share
@@RS-xq6je the plate agency probably laugh at me. the vin number on this bicycle doesn't exist and there's no turn singles or lights. just a traditional reflectors that comes with the bike. thanks!
@@iceyaj3167 i started my own build this week. I need to take one of my parts to a shop to modify it to fit, but putting the engine together has been a very nice educational experience. Thank you and others for putting out these videos and exposing more people to the hobby?
