Can 6.5HP motor power a tandem bike?

Hey folks, in this video Kim and I put a predator 212cc engine on a tandem two-seater bicycle! it is a super cool build and it was a lot of fun to ride the motorbike together! The bike tops out at maybe 25-30 mph, and has plenty of torque to take the two of us anywhere. If you liked the video of this bike be sure to check out the channel for other projects such as mini bikes, go karts, gas scooters, motorized bikes and motorcycles!

I was really bad at riding passenger! Does it need a bigger engine??

[@hunterpetrovich1460]

Everything needs a bigger engine😁

[@jilkeschilteschilte5311]

Yes why not. Maybe the v twin engine?

[@lucassilveiro8056]

can't believe how your channel has grown recently

[@OliverMotorized]

ha maybe a 670

[@kevinmontoya7318]

It needs a lifan 125

*Looked at a lot of options for getting my **Latest.Bike** . Great find in SAVA. Super light, nice components, really good value as it comes with many options only found in much higher priced bikes.*

Oliver! A dream come true! Seeing you and Kimberley work and ride together. A divine amount of thanks to both of you. This episode was really well done. Alicia.

Thanks for the great comment Alicia, bless ya.

Its like you came from the future, to edit your own videos. Much improved quality :)

haha thanks man

haha yup! thanks man

This is probably the only time I would say this to another dude but... I'm totally crushing on your girlfriend! Seriously... great laugh, willing to try your crazy shit, funny, not dramatic and cute a/f. She's the whole package! Hold on to that one man cause some degenerate might try and scoop her up! 😁 Good call on the tandem. She can't really say no when its built for her too. You clever bastard. Lol

[@thedude7726]

Easy bud.

[@jacystone973]

I was thinking same

[@Baldys_projects]

Get an old Ford smog pump and boost the engine you will be golden on the power also cool ass build that is for sure! 🚲💨💨💨

[@dayyou]

While doing work on my brothers moped I thought man they should make a tandem moped, and here we are. looks like a blast.

[@OliverMotorized]

great minds... lol

[@Mikefestiva]

Haha nice project, Thanks for posting! I always enjoy your videos :)

I like this project and several others you've done, I have done many similar things.

[@pterodox123]

Great video! Having Kim in there added a nice dynamic. I'm still noticing you are getting more and more familiar with your editing software, and it's looking nice. No need to upload more since you have been keeping this quality!

Cheers mate, thanks!

[@kevinAuman1]

That's awesome bro, you have a beautiful gal there and she seems cool as hell you guys are great together.... I built one a them Chinese 2 stroke bike kits and only rode it maybe a handful of times then it got boring but I never thought of doing a tandem so I could bring a friend n go bar hopping or a lady for casual cruises hahaha this is great I better get welding!!!

[@OliverMotorized]

sounds like a plan! cheers Kevin. don't get a dui tho haha

Good stuff my friend 🤙

[@paradisefalls37]

Great build, fantastic video!

[@OliverMotorized]

Thanks wayne!

[@carlstone5735]

I like what you've done... But I think I would have left the bicycle chain and gear sprockets as well as the gear change derailer on the right of the rear tire and jackshaft. That way you could change years and possibly go faster while still having torque at the low and high ends. Bicycle chains are stronger than you think. And the jackshaft is the perfect point at which to make the transition between the two chain and sprocket sizes. But all in all you did a great job on this project. Kudos.

[@OliverMotorized]

yeah i've used the gears on bikes before to switch gears, but it's just to unreliable over a certain HP, especially if a lot of weight is involved. but im sure there are maybe other ways. Thanks for the comment!

[@tomtomas8932]

Love it u have to put her in more videos nice work!!!!

[@OliverMotorized]

will do! cheers

Cool video, You should put an engine on a longboard.

[@bk-cl2np]

Damn, that Kim looks like a real keeper.

[@haugstule]

charming - the both of you.

[@wewanttobefree41]

you can solve the leaning by taking the handle bars off the rear and putting a seat on the back with arm rest and a back rest on it that way she will have a back rest and she will not have an urge to lean

[@jameskelly2419]

This thing is mint

use the shifter from the bike in a build pls would be interesting to see what power it can handle ;D also better torq like your shifter bike

is that footrest position in the back really comfy? doesn't look like it.

Awesome build. You could raise the back seat so she does not have to lean to be able to see.

might be difficult for her to get on at that point, but I see what you mean

[@robinoconnor1203]

Did you not consider an electric conversion kit, there would have been no need to wreck the frame or do away with the pedals. The conversion could be removed easily and fitted to another bike.

[@js_1995x]

Electric is crap because the battery can die and it is not as fast

[@brianpeterson3135]

Now that's good o'l american engineering

[@OliverMotorized]

hell ya

put some running boards so she can put her feet on

[@rubentrevino2372]

😁👍

[@smitajky]

I am puzzled over why you would do this. I met my girl at a motorcycle rally and we went everywhere on our small ( 80cc ) motorcycle for years. Now almost 50 years later we are riding a tandem pushbike together. 160000+ km over the last 11 years. No vibration. We can talk as we go and get fit at the same time. An engine would detract from what we now find so good. PS we can't easily change ends. I am used to steering and she is used to being a passenger. Changing conflicts with our reflexes and makes it quite difficult.

[@OliverMotorized]

albeit the engine is loud, the idea to go anywhere effortlessly while cruising at a very decent speed is really fun! But also I simply enjoy building things like this. Cheers!

[@SkengManNZ]

such a romeo

[@ewarn3202]

If you gear the motor properly it should do 34-35 and still get off other line decently.

[@OliverMotorized]

I think gearing was good, I think the engine just needs a little modification, I think the muffler may be a bit restrictive

[@гараж05-в3з]

✊💪👍👍👍

[@codydunn242]

Run a small smog pump on it like a turbo and get more power. 😂

[@kevinmontoya7318]

Pulls the brake as fuel

hah I may go to twist throttle later on

[@bensmith4563]

Yup, passengers must stay perpendicular.

it was hard for me for whatever reason lol

[@Имбирнаяпеченька-ю6ь]

Well, I bet you know V-brakes won't live any long and be any efficient to stop that heavy bike loaded with the engine and two riders on board.

[@cdrogers72]

Why has nobody made a tandem motorcycle?

[@OliverMotorized]

I suppose a motorcycle with an extended seat is more safe? idk lol

I feel like that engine needs a bigger fuel tank

yeah, maybe a bigger engine to go with the engine too lol
