Interesting. Thanks for the advice.

@@CR03_Outdoor_Adventures You are welcome. I saw the method here on KZbin. Tried and it worked way too well, lol. I disassembled the rag joint 2x to get it right.

I’m glad you found it helpful!

I know what you mean. I ordered the kit from www.bicycle-engines.com. They seemed to be professional and trustworthy enough in my opinion.

@ thank you!

I do that when the bike can’t keep up with the speed of traffic. I feel safer that way because I can easily see the cars coming and get out of the way. I don’t think of these as mopeds. I think of them as pedal bikes with a little boost.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll have to do that.

Good to know. I’ll probably mess around with it some after the break in period.

It’s quite peaceful around there.

Thanks!

Yes motorized bikes are a blast

Seeing you ride it ,I'm like I want one like a kid again awesome

I will definitely figure out the top speed once it’s all broken in and tuned up. I have it geared more for hills.

Thank you for watching! I’ll be more careful in the future.

Before taxes!

Sounds like fun. Ive got another 2 stroke kit coming in.

@CR03_Outdoor_Adventures nice that sounds sweet! I wouldn't mind a 100cc 2 stroke but my bike is going to be feet controlled including brakes except my shifter that will be hand controlled lol

Not sure what you’re talking about there. That bike was only 49cc and wasn’t very fast at all. It’s not a motorcycle so I treat it like a regular bicycle. Despite the camera angle, I constantly look all around me and I look both ways before switching lanes. Riding into head on traffic is a lot safer when your bike can’t hit half of the speed that some people drive. Maybe it’s different in dense urban areas where people go 25mph, but haven’t you seen all of the people on the news who got hit from behind while in the shoulder? If they could’ve seen the driver who wasn’t paying attention they might have had a chance to go off the road.

It was just a standard 4 stroke kit off eBay. It was on sale.

Close. It’s a sub-tributary of the Monongahela River.

Glad it helped!

Thank you!

It was some kind of heavy duty performance clutch off of eBay. I tried multiple different clutches and I adjusted many different things. I decided to sell the bike because I concluded that the steep hills around my area were probably causing the clutches to burn out. I never had any issues with the clutch in my old 2 stroke bike so I am currently building another one since I am at home now.

That’s just how we’ve been riding bicycles around here since we were little kids. I wouldn’t ride like that on a street legal bike that can actually keep up with traffic. You can’t tell because the camera is mounted to my chest, but I constantly am looking around for cars before switching lanes. I like to ride on the shoulder into oncoming traffic on a bicycle so that I can see the cars and get off the road if I need to make room. Too many cyclists get hit from behind on the shoulder. There’s no need to worry about stop signs, red lights, or wrong way signs on a bicycle in my town. The local police have seen me plenty of times with motorized bikes and are cool with it.

Very interesting. I didn’t want to put a lot of money into the bike because I had an 80cc 2 stroke kit that did fine around here and cost even less. I ended up selling both bikes and will probably build another 2 stroke one in the future.

I do like the 2 stroke ones better. I also had an 80cc 2 stroke for a couple of years before I sold it and made the 4 stroke. I think I may build another 2 stroke at some point.

I loved it out there. I’ll definitely have to go back sometime!

Thanks for watching! I can’t wait to edit more of the footage.
