I like how you described starting the 2 Stroke. "when you're wondering why your still pedaling then you can stop." it is funny when you see a first timer pop the cluch, stop their feet and it just glug glug glugs to a stop. they look over like what the hell is wrong with this thing.

[@brians9709]

Love the description that you need to sweet talk the motor to get it started. First time I've heard that in my years of riding a 2 stroke, but it's 100% accurate. It does take a little trial and error to learn the sweet spot for just enough speed to turn the engine over.

[@aberakadabra1285]

Damn I thought I was gunna see a race :D I seriously recommend running a 2stroke kit on 20' wheels ; )

[@theatom7264]

I prefer 2 strokes because they are far more simpler to work on & can outlast the crappy transmissions that often come with the 4 stroke kits. Plus there are way more mods avalable. Having to mix oil with gas is worth it to me. 2 gallons of mixed gas can last me a long time. Plus it's super cheap to rebuild or replace an entire 2 stroke motor. 4 stroke motors by themselves cost as much or more than a complete 2 stroke kit & a transmission for it costs about as much as or more than the motor itself & usualy the motor outlasts the transmission on these 4 stroke motors. At least the transmission on a 2 stroke is built in & very easy to maintain & fix compared to 4 stroke transmissions.

I never complain about your videos but on this one I'd like to add my 2 cents to help you out a bit. As far as the 2 stroke ,once you break it in correctly,they will start up at about the 3rd peddle turn and the engine will take you from there . And as for the 4 stroke,they usually start up on the first try almost every time. Keep up the good work buddy,sincerely.

So if anyone has any good opponents I would like to hear them thanks nice video by the way some what helpful (:

Go with the motor you can fix. good at maintaining a motor? 2 stroke. Want reliability ? 4 stroke. Neither of these motors are well suited for off-road. Neither are the frames. My 2 cents

I saw a review of a two-stroke on KZbin, the Crimson Tide 66/80 CC, and it talked about how you could only ride for 30 minutes at a time and you would have to stop and let the motor cooldown. That it was something inherent in the two-stroke, that it quickly overheats. Is that true? What about the four stroke, in that regard?

[@Fred_the_1996]

Nah it doesn't overheat that much, as long as you take it easy and don't exaggerate. The 4 stroke does heat up a lot less, but just take it easy, stop like once every hour and you're good. Or you could pour some water on the 2 stroke engine to cool it down lol

(it doesn't seem a very straightforward process, a major drawback for me)

[@HughesMotorized]

I suggest a 4 stroke over a 2. Less vibration and less maintenance. Getting the drive chain out is a challenge for many. The chain will stretch at first and the sprockets will wear in. You have to watch the chain a lot at first. After that you should be good.

4 strokes are the way to go. They are reliable and quiet and refined and smooth all of which the 2 strokes aren't. They might cost more initially but you save money and time by not having to go to the store for 2 stroke oil. They also don't stink or smoke as much as 2 strokes. And the power is very similar but the 4 stroke is easier to climb hills because it has more torque and the clutch can slip a little. It's also more convenient because id start the 4stroke and leave it on the porch to warm up with the 2 stroke you need to ride it down the block to get it started and the whole thing is inconvenient and takes time.

disc brakes are your best friend when motorizing a bicycle, 2 stroke, 4 stroke, or electric. bicycle brakes leave a lot to be desired. like the ability to stop, for one.

Many say bicycle disc brakes wear out pretty fast. I like a hub brake up front and coaster on the rear. I'm also not a speed demon nowadays. I putt around so no need for panic stops so much

@@HughesMotorized i've put mid drive electric motors on a couple of bicycles, one is a 26" mountain bike with v brakes, and the other is a 20" x games motobike with disc. the disc brake bike stops a lot better than the one with rim brakes. i haven't had the disc brake one long enough to wear out the brake pads yet. they both have freewheels in the rear. i haven't tried a drum brake on a bicycle. mebbe the next one i'll try them.

If it breaks down, Trixie can pull it.

Ms Trixie is a hoss. She will pull to go meet another dog or person for sure

I got used to my 2 stroke's clutch and i take off real fast. Yes i eat clutch pads .

[@zuggetharderbb4786]

Couldn't I just wire the 4 stroke to electric key or button
