💪Cars with Bike engines💪

A bike-engined car is a small or light weight car that is powered by an engine that was designed for use in a motorcycle.
Early examples of bike-engined cars include the 1948 Invacar and the 1949 Bond Minicar, both of which were designed as basic, low-cost transportation.
Modern motorcycle engines are often available with higher specific outputs than car engines, which provides a performance advantage in a lightweight car. The motorcycle's sequential gearbox is often fitted with the engine, allowing for fast gearshifts.
The drawbacks of using motorcycle engines in cars are the lack of reverse gear and reduced torque output at low RPM.
Performance models of bike-engined cars are often based on the Lotus 7-type kit cars.

That Russian microcar @2:50 was my favorite.

Dying to do this to my Subaru Domingo van. Tough transmission mating though.

I totally love all of these lil' go carts with the high revving, high horsepower motorcycle 4 cylinders.. The Europeans know what to do with their lil' sub compacts!! LUUUUVE IT!!

Cannot beat a BIKE engine on full song.

I had wondered why nobody seemed to use a ZX14 motor. I had one of those as my last bike, and I thought several of the smaller cars I've owned, would go a whole lot better with that 14 motor in them. The clutch would take it. That clutch would operate a semi trailer ...

Great video. ☺

Man that little blue things sick , people laugh at you at lights , you'd be laughing when they smell you smoked tyres and rubber chips

[@terrybrown6057]

If anyone is going to do this you can only do this with a lightweight car, like 700-800kg max after that your not faster than a normal car engined car. Ideal engine is 1000cc+. You can use electric for reverse

In Brazil some guys use those bike engines for kart cross projects

I seen this suggestion from KZbin. Naturally I was curious. A couple decades ago a GL 1500 found its way into my 43 MB Willy's Jeep. Coupled the drive shaft to three speed transmission. With the transfer case I have the option of six gear rations. And more than twice the hp.lol And with used parts being cheap as they are I have CBR 1000rr spinning a six-speed Corolla transaxle with limited slip. With the Corolla hubs and discs front and rear. That's all powering a street legal buggy with the cross cart Truck Body. Weighing in at 1250# The Corolla transaxle( FWD) gives me the reverse and limited slip diff. And the sixth gear close ratios saves having to fiddle with gearing changes for changing conditions. A nice bonus with this engine is it's dual stage fuel injection. When not putting the engine to work it'll get close to 40 MPG. Now to get that dual Turbo 3S GE beams Blacktop (460hp 4 cly) into the 75 Celica.😲 ✌️ 🤠🐂🏞️

You need to make a video of that. @@Ozarkprepper643

They’re our future!

[@alexbastow7915]

X2 h2r engines tuned for torque vectoring in a mini would be insane 😂

I wanna put a goldwing engine in a nash metropolitan

[@immrnoidall]

well i guess a radio will not be used .

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

I think I must stick to a FWD or AWD Harley Davidson powered car.

[@MrRourk]

There are several KZbins of a Hayabusa powered Cappuccino.

[@ITilBiondo]

You guys forgot the best! Fiat x1/9!🤣

[@Sidney-Holiday]

BECs are usually disappointing, they sound cool but mostly underperform in relation to expectations. Cars are heavy.. even in Russia.

So many Want to Be's Shut up and do it !!!
