The tires are antique Simplex replicas made by Coker. The front hub is a Honda cb125, the rear is a Sach moped hub, and the rims are made by Worksman.

The camera work is purrfect, adding nostalgia to already nice bike.

[@badhammermotorworks810]

Sir I am in love with this whole project! It's incredible what you have achieved on a budget and especially on minimum wage with little in the way of tools! Ingenuity and drive are what you had and you used them to awesome effect! Just beautiful!

[@Christianlvm22]

how is possible to have and a sooo awesome bike and soo crap camera!! NIce bike!

[@varun009]

They're from the same time period. Gotta keep it consistent.

[@bozzskaggs112]

Finally someone on KZbin rides his board track replica.

[@facumilano3576]

excelente proyecto, actualmente estoy haciendo lo mismo pero con un 80cc , en algún momento pondré un estacionario en V , como lo que hiciste vos, te felicito desde argentina! saludos

[@VEKSTco]

It uses a continually variable transmission, or CVT for short. I have not maxed it out but I have had it well above 60mph. There are ways to make it legal but it depends on your state. It's no different than any other custom build motorcycle.

[@wildsmooth9201]

That bike has balls unlike my 79cc.

[@sporty05]

Wow, that is one sweet scooter man!

[@oprocurado1000]

2:44 Paul walker ..rrsrs

[@VEKSTco]

The engine is a 630cc 23hp Briggs and Stratton v-twin

[@vodkayla]

Where do you get the wheel/hub/tire ? Those parts seem subpar on most of the bikes I see. Yours look substantial.

[@oprocurado1000]

Hello friend that engine power for 2 people ... thank loevar and beautiful bike

[@DT-471]

Damn, I want to know the breakdown of this.

[@VEKSTco]

Nope, it's all rigid. At some point I might build a leaf spring suspension that bolts to the current fork but not any time soon. Good luck on your build.

[@jazzj256]

Cool I like how your bike sounds, I built a modern version of a board tracker, but I must ask does you front fork provide any suspension

[@nigelcarren]

Sweet! 🏆⚒️

[@johnbravo7542]

What was this video recorded with? the first generation camera phone?

[@jamesthomas1925]

That bike sounds amazing. What brand of transmission is that CVT?

[@officialDavidRees]

Perfect!

[@luugo86]

Hey man, great build. I love it. I am actually going to start a similar type of build soon, I had two questions for you man, how did you mount the engine to the frame, and how did you get the power from the engine drive gear to the rear wheel? Thanks for any information man.

www.pipeburn.com/home/2012/10/01/vekst-boardtracker.html Might be late to this but here is an article about this build I found online. Hope you found it useful if not sorry yo bring up an old comment.

[@Lazydomsgarage]

bad ass bike dude but where did you get you motor i want to build something like this

[@mosedc76]

great job my friend, i love it!!! wich engine did you use to ?

[@VEKSTco]

Thanks, and yes this is the new bike.

[@ericwar8492]

man, this is what I'd like to build!! can you please give us more info?

[@patrichofmann2118]

Sehr schöne Arbeit......!!!!

[@leonardarola]

Bike still exists?

[@m.kasper7646]

Its a strange feeling having your hands below the center of gravity huh? I love boardtrack bikes but they feel a tad bit dangerous to ride hahaha!

[@Bushpilot006]

So is it single gear? Did you find it's max speed? And if I build one can I make it legal to ride on the road?

[@medericdarval7487]

Sweet ride bro!

[@Mully514]

Great sound!

[@novansyahbsux4139]

i love this kind of bike !

[@gonnapumpupthevolume]

Is that a custom made frame and tank or did you buy it, thanks

[@VEKSTco]

The whole bike it custom made by myself.

[@joedirt7091]

How fast will this board track racer top out at?

[@yakuza2013]

can you tell me the place i can find some engine like that :)

[@TheBullterrierist]

+kenji bushido vanguard 23 hp

[@yakuza2013]

thanks bro

[@debonairecatalina6570]

+TheBullterrierist i have a 61 western flyer that i'm motorizing, i am currently prepping the frame for an old 3hp briggs, but i found a cast iron 18 hp opposed Toro engine that strikes me now that i ran into your videos, i might use the 18 horse for my 53 columbia, what would be some recommendations considering spoke thickness and frame design?

[@patrickwoodward6597]

Владимир Скворцов HARBOR FREIGHT WILL SHIP YOU ONE PRETTY CHEAP. OR BRIGGS AND STRATTON FOR A ORIGINAL NOT CHINESE COPY.

[@rumunperfomance]

Perfekt ! great job ! 🍺

[@jazzj256]

Thanks

[@agentry880]

Very Nice!

[@lcasillas419]

Can I buy it? Very cool..!

[@f8f8esufj2a1]

what camera is this?

[@VEKSTco]

It's a Japanese art camera called a Digital Harinezumi 2. I've never had so many people complement this camera, Its kinda surprising. I personally like it but most people don't.

[@user-zerminzh]

Wow

[@Casual_BackPacking]

[@juanpabloberger5552]

😂👌👌😺👍🏻😊

[@Xdeathsrain]

Heres an article written about this build I found online. Might be useful to someone out there! www.pipeburn.com/home/2012/10/01/vekst-boardtracker.html

[@patrickwoodward6597]

Where can you actually ride or race it? Oh that's what I Thought. Nice useless Rich kids toy.

[@VEKSTco]

Hi Patrick, Thanks for watching my video and leaving a comment. I'm always happy to hear feedback whether it be good or bad. As for this bike being a "useless rich kid toy" you are half right.....it is useless! The main purpose of this build was to learn how to fabricate a frame from scratch. I learned a lot from this build and that knowledge has served me well in the years since. As for being a "rich kid toy".... at the time of this build I made just slightly more than minimum wage. With a little hard work and determination it just goes to show that anything is possible I hope this bike can inspire others who have similar dreams to pursue them.

[@m.kasper7646]

Patrick there are plenty of places to "ride" & "race" So what you "thought" is WRONG! So id suggest to you is stop thinking smart ass. (Dumbass actually).

[@chuckerhead144]

@@VEKSTco Well said Lurker! The fact that you took the time to reply to a USELESS commenter just shows how much class you have!
