4-Stroke VS. 2-Stroke Motorized Bikes!

[@niteshades_promise]

4 stroke for daily rider, 2 stroke for sunday funday. 4 stroke will get you 1000s of miles. Much more reliable. Phatmoto 4 life🍻

Phatmotos are sick

💯💯💯💯

I completely agree re: the 2 stroke, the cost is much less and the speed is more up my alley

[@mikesbarn1858]

The 4 stroke is a little smoother and quieter. It is also somewhat slower. Rejet the carburetor one size larger. The 2 stroke is a little rougher running and has a more distinctive sound. I like both but prefer the 4.

[@wayne-n6q5g]

2 stroke too much maintenance for me ive built several had some good ones but when i built my 212cc on a huffy bike i rode it for 5 years of course until the frame bike lol good job on the video

[@erichartley7310]

2 strokes are such a pain. First thing to know, you have to mix oil with the gas. If you don't get mixture right, you spit oil out of tail pipe. Just upgraded to a 4 stroke. Only complaint I have so far is the clutch sucks.

[@johnwebb6017]

I will hav'ta agree... 2stroke is too much maintenance!! 4stroke is much better, pull & go!! Clutch does suck, but 4stroke is the way to go!! Won't go back to a 2stroke!!

[@gonewronggarage4565]

2 strokes are slow stock out of the box but if you remove the cap on the muffler or modify the muffler and take off the air filter you will be hitting 32-34 mph if not more with 26” tires and it’ll have way more torque..seriously you should try it, it’s very easy to make even more power. The 4 stroke you really can’t do anything to them.

[@leonardarola]

That a mullet ?! And dang, get off the sidewalk, that's a cop magnet.

[@jessepittspittstop]

Yeah, probably should, our cops are pretty cool though, don’t really mind.

[@niteshades_promise]

I ride the sidewalk daily. It's legal if you pedal😂🍻

[@R6.Rider05]

idk bro I got 37.5 mph on my 2 stroke and all I did was open the exhaust pipe a bit at the bottom and switch a few things around.

[@jessepittspittstop]

Yeah, this bike is bone stock, just wanted to give both bikes a fair test as they come out of the box, but yeah, definitely a lot of fun to be had with these things.

[@Jezza_C_WT]

Hey mate, that was a good little comparison. I've been weighing up whether to go with a 2 stroke or 4 stroke for my first build. But I think I'm just gonna forgo these smaller engines and go with a GX120 clone with a 30 series CVT. There's a lot of hills where I live and I'm not the lightest guy around, so I think I'll need that extra torque. Anyway, great video. Cheers!

[@jessepittspittstop]

Yeah, thanks, that would be pretty cool. I'm thinking about getting up to something bigger too, got the need for speed and these little ones don't cut it.

[@rick14377]

just keep in mind, these are bicycles. Anything over 3.5hp and you'll start to bend stuff. Also, you'll need a wide crank for a 4 stroke. Especially for that GX120.

[@Seriouskai]

80cc for a 2 stroke should be better than that, my 50cc heavy Derbi Senda trailbike does 50mph no problems. I'm not sure about the whole kit, but that exhaust definitely limits the performance, alot. What little research I've done shows 2 strokes are pretty damn dependent on the size and shape of the exhaust, it's pretty much connected to the powerband and rpm's. Try fitting a proper one and you should see some real performance, either find a exhaust geared towards low rpm power for more quiet but slightly less hp runs, or a high revving one where the major power kicks in at 9k RPM and above. 4 strokes on the other hand are more... slow and steady no matter what you do honestly, I haven't been able to ever get one to be "fun", but take care of them and they're reliable atleast. And ofcourse have a more even powerband over the RPM's.

[@jessepittspittstop]

Yeah, I think with these Chinese motors they pretty much just chuck whatever works on there, but I think you're right, exhaust is where it's lacking. Probably good to try something else

[@tiger7777]

Not sure if you know but thet beach cruiser is a city street bike 😁 Beach cruiser has 2in tires at least. That is a commuter bike, college campus type, not even a dirt bike, much less a beach cruiser 👍🐎

[@key948]

Which bike is best for going up steep hills?

[@jessepittspittstop]

You, know, I haven’t ridden the 4 much, but I would assume it would have a bit more torque than the 2 stroke.

[@infohere1000]

stand closer to the mic and dont talk outside on a windy day, if you stand on the side of the house that blocks the wind itll be better you might have to make a chain guard cover around most of the chain to keep it in line

[@davewickizer4506]

On the four strike I watched a guy slide the motor forward and eliminate the tensioner on the back all together. By the 80 not that clinker 49 cc. Too small a motor for any bike.

[@Sick666Minded]

Thanks aliexpress has the 4 stroke at $143 with shipping

[@IamKingFace1]

I’m about to buy a 2 stroke kit but I also have an ungoverned 212 a tiltson. I’m kinda scared to put that on a bike tho😂 might put that on a go kart

[@LandRiderJerryautoshift]

Did you run STOP 🛑 signs in the truck like you did on both of the bikes? Traffic laws apply to all vehicles regardless of what is being used as a power source.

[@frogpedals]

is there a way to start the 4 stroke, without the pull start? Like a running start so to speak.

[@jessepittspittstop]

So this one has a centrifugal clutch, which is automatic, so when you hit the throttle, it grabs and pulls you forward, unlike the 2 stroke. So no, since you can't manually operate the clutch, there's no way to pedal start or push start the 4. Hope that answered your question.

[@marlonspencer6826]

I have a two-stroke nothing like that I go 45 mph, effortless something wrong with your carburetor

[@wayne-n6q5g]

4 stroke much more reliable to get more top end on the bikes replace the rear sprocket to a 38 tooth on the 2 stroke and a 36 tooth on the four have a great day

[@Piotr-mr8bw]

2 stroke is better

[@jessepittspittstop]

Thanks for the recommendation. My personal experience with these specific bikes has made me a two stroke fan, however this 4 stroke build was a mess. I think it gave me a bit of a bad taste of what 4 stroke can be. I love 4 stroke, just wouldn’t recommend it for these bikes.

[@officialgru420]

The unibrow’s gotta go man😂

[@jessepittspittstop]

Sorry, here to stay!

[@bigjay6743]

You're a light guy and it doesn't look like you live in a very hilly neighborhood do yourself a favor and get a 36 tooth sprocket You will be happy you did so it's so much better on the engine and you get more speedt but you do lose a little of your bottom end.

[@MatthewBarnes-2023]

Bro centrifugal clutches are trash u would rather do a cvt torque converter for better performance and better acceleration and speed

[@jessepittspittstop]

Let me know if you find one for this motor!😂

Your shit ain't fast at all.

[@thesausage351]

That 2 stoke sounds awful. It desperately needs a decent tune and probably a better pipe. It’s restricted to hell.

[@mikoskjv]

2 stroke is better and better sound

[@thesausage351]

@@mikoskjv That 2 stroke is labouring and running too rich at the top end and the pipe is too restricted. Both things slow a 2 stroke down and kill your top end speed. Personally I prefer a 4 stroke, I’ve ridden both in sizes from 125cc - 600cc and my riding style is better suited on 4 strokes. I ran an RM500 2 stroke for a few months and just hated it. It was 5000rpm of nothing and 2000rpm of it trying to throw you off it and kill you.

[@jessepittspittstop]

Yeah, thanks for the insight, but for the video, I wanted to compare the two bikes stock.

[@beneastwood220]

Mine is faster than that

Mate you your gunna get smoked them bikes are not fast
