This bike is a budget build coming in at around $1,000 in materials. It has proven to be very trail capable and definitely makes people stop and say "what is that!"
@@groundhoggarage2271 well thought out using random low cost parts. It all seems to have come together and it's sturdy. Are the wheels and sprocket/disc brake system easy enough to bolt to the wheels? Or was it something you had to design and build? The rear dropout with the pillow bearing seems to be a good way to attach the rear axle, is it sturdy under rough conditions?
You'd have no trouble selling these bikes....make them in kit form where the customer supplies the motor and does final assembly to avoid all the registration type hassles. This would be 100 times better than the crap bikes sold by Coleman and other Chinese junk.
I've been kicking around the idea of building a fat tired 1974 Honda TL 125 trials bike like this. So nice to see a simple HF go kart engine will do it too! And with the internal cooling fan, it won't overheat like the TL will eventually. I've got a 11 hp Honda Go Kart motor I could use for my build. Very impressive build! Now you've got me trying to figure out how to add a divorced transfer case in the drivetrain to make a 2 wheel drive mountain goat bike like this.
The closer I look at your creation, the thought I see went into its design. The only criticism I would have is the arm that the foot pegs are mounted to, should be able to swivel up. If crossing a log or rock or even a high dirt mound, the current design, could leave you high centered. Not a huge issue with this bike, but it does limit its capabilities, somewhat. I would love to see details on what parts you sourced for bearing, tires, wheels, brake, etc. kits would be a good idea, but selling plans would also be a revenue source, one I would surely buy.
Wow! Awesome build Sir! Those motors when you work on them are fantastic. I've got a SUZUKI RV 90 chassis thats street legal, but no motor. I want to drop a Predator 224 with a CVT into it, and be able to cross town on it.
Andy, I hope you have been seeing some new viewer and subscriber numbers, I've been sending your links to soooo many people dude! I freaking love this bike!
Well, if you made plans, I'd buy them. I'm building a Grasshopper ATV from plans right now. I have a Coleman mini bike, but as I am pushing 60, my back just doesn't like that hard tail!
Beautiful job Andy!!! I love the higher stance and the front and rear suspension is awesome. Will you ever be selling plans? I have a bunch of extra parts I want to build one like yours! Thanks for the video.
Hi there brother I am a disabled veteran here in ky. Are you selling the blueprints to your work which is absolutely awesome you are very talented I didn't know if you were selling the blueprints my daddy is a welder in Tennessee ..GOD BLESS YA BROTHER IF YOU ARENT SELLING THEM THEN COULD YOU JUST LIFT ME UP IN PRAYER I JUST GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL TODAY HERE IN TN. THANK YOU MUCH
Hi,i really like your project, are you happy to share with me the measurement of the frame. I would like to build one of these for myself... Many thanks 🙏🙂
i would put the 15hp engine on it. more fun. i could use this in the swamp to get my animals i hunt. being disabled sucks many places i can't get my 4 wheeler
Cool ass build. My only criticism is on the video editing.. Go easy with the music. Music will totally destroy content of a video. The fast forward building content.. yes use music but very quiet music that you can barely hear. Whenever you start the motor.. there should be no music. Your viewers are here because they like motors, motorcycles, building motorcycles etc.. so we like to hear the motor. Even if its just for a couple seconds.. its better than not hearing it at all. Oh one last suggestion.. add mounts for two Gatling guns. :D
Thank you for the input, today at 7pm I will be releasing the beginning of another bike build series. I dialed way back on the music. This whole editing thing is still new to me. Hope you enjoy the upcoming videos, I will try and incorporate some gun mounts eventually!!!😁
Ok I have some questions. Can I get a triple tree stock for a stock coleman ct200uex how did you get it make the shims for the rear swing arm and that's about it
Thank you! It depends a lot on my gearing, I have had them go 47mph but then they weren't great off-road. I have them set to go about 30mph top speed now so it has more low end torque.
