Good Job. You know that you can reverse the wheel and install the engine in center as well. You have to flip the ticker so that you are not just spinning the sprocket in the wrong direction.
Fair point. My (possibly silly) reason for not flipping the wheel around was to avoid having to make a new mount for the brake assembly. Thanks for watching!
Im literally building 1 of these for my kids know, im using an 80cc engine what they mount on mountain bikes and it fots nicley in the frame, im also leaving the electric motor on , just gotta remove the mounting plate for were the battery used to be, supose its kinda a hybrid lol, ive changed the wheels to much thicker ones like you get on a quad, was vonna try and experiment with some sort of compressor system as a small turbo but powered by a high speed motor, dunno if it will work just gonna tdy it, might even make a video
Good point - I would have done, but the mounting bracket for the brake housing was only on one side, and to fabricate a new one would have been more of a hassle than simply mounting the engine outboard. Thanks for watching!
Hi Kiran, i was trying to do a project similar to this on my pocket mod and im curious as to where you got the parts and what you bought separate from what the scooter came with. thanks.
Liam, The only thing I bought separately was the engine, which comes with a centrifugal clutch and sprocket (#25). The rear sprocket and chain originally on the scooter will work, as they are also for #25 chain. I found the original chain to be too long, so you may have to make a chain tensioner (or tweak the old one, as I did). The brackets for mounting the engine and the twist grip I made from steel scraps and parts lying around the workshop, but you can get fresh steel, stop collars, etc and work with those. Hope this helps!
Thankfully, my scooter's rear wheel sprocket and the engine sprocket were both for #25 chain. It is definitely worthwhile to check which size chain your sprockets accept.
Make sure your weed wacker engine has a centrifugal clutch and some way to attach a #25 sprocket. If not, get a pocket rocket engine off ebay like I did
@@ricanprepper4976 The seller took the original listing down, but this is more or less the same thing: www.ebay.com/itm/49CC-2-Stroke-Pull-Start-Engine-Motor-Fit-Pocket-MINI-Quad-Dirt-Bike-Scooter-ATV/402237990813?hash=item5da740a79d:g:d9wAAOSwiMBd5Nd1
This engine has four threaded bolt holes underneath it, and two threaded metal tabs on top. All I did was make brackets from mild steel angle/flat bar/etc which would bolt to the engine, and then weld the brackets to the frame of the scooter.
@@KiranDigavalli i just boult mine last night in about 3 hours, im running the stock rear sprocket with a 7 tooth off of the motor and i was able to get mine to 28 mph at about 8/10 throttle
Top speed is about 25 mph (40 km/h). Not exactly sure about the fuel consumption, but I would estimate it uses an eighth of gallon in 30 minutes of riding.
Hmmm... I would recommend you to watch the video fully, read all comments/replies, and make a few deductions. If you have any remaining questions, I would be happy to answer them :)
