How To: Installation Guide - 79cc 4-Stroke Bicycle Engine Kit

[@jaystone3516]

back in the mid 80s me an some friends an relative adapt all types of engine to mountain bike's , beach cruisers , we used 3.5hp to 8hp Briggs an Stratton engines on the heavy frame bikes, we would built are own heavy bike frames like motor cycles , so we could go fast , gearing every thing to go up 60to 70 or as fast as we can make the bikes go, but we always used mag wheel wide fast tires with heavy tread on the tires. there wasn't to many kits like this that we could afford.

[@terryspence7609]

Having built and taught planes, motorcycles cars... I can attest you guys did exceptional in the presentation / tutorial, a real pleasure to watch and listen too! Very well done!

[@metamorphicorder]

They did a decent job for such a short tutorial. Ive built several bikes and this is much better than the manual that comes with the motor kits. The manual is pretty decent for being written by someone who is obviously not a native english speaker, but this is pretty good.

[@danfagan71]

This video shows them installing a new "wide crank assembly" (which includes new bearings) for the pedals to clear motor. The video shows brand new bearings being installed without grease. Since when do bearings get installed without grease? This is one of the most basic, elementary steps for installing bearings to ensure they work smoothly and last a long time. I like all the other videos Bikeberry put out, but how does this get overlooked? How many beginners followed your instructions and now assume bearings don't need grease?

A couple months ago, I seen a guy on the side of the road who had an engine on his bike, so I stopped to talk to him about it. He said he got it from you guys and has had it about a year or so now and loves it. He said he's put a few hundred miles on it with no trouble at all. He was a big dude, a good 6'6" and 250 anyway, and he said it moves him right along. He wanted an engine to help him out in this Louisiana heat and he said it does do that and he's very happy. Why don't you guys sell a little large engine, say around 125cc like they have on those MOTOPEDS but without the transmission or maybe one of those GX120 Honda engines that's been stripped down like you did here. Those would be great for some seriously fat tire bikes for off roading and hauling camping gear and what not. Keep up the great work.

[@bikeberry]

That's a great suggestion and we will definitely look into it. We previously only focused on small hobby engines and engines to fit within the regulations of racing circuits. This is our first venture into larger motors and it has been more successful than we anticipated, leaving our inventory completely empty within the first few weeks. To keep cost low for our customers we buy directly from manufacturers, and if we can find a manufacturer we trust we will gladly carry larger engines.

[@wjf213]

That would be GREAT. I was looking at Honda engines again after I watched your video, and I really think they will fit inside a frame if stripped down, BUT that means we'd need to CNC some parts like you have here. I mean you guys, hands down have the market cornered and the skills and know how down pat, so if you did move to larger engines, I know I'd buy a few for my bugout bike "FLEET" so to speak. haha If I could make a suggestion or two, maybe build a few and take them to preppercon.com/ Some things that would prove useful to that group of people are accessories in the form of having the engine with a start alternator combo and it can recharge batteries for cells, flashlights, radios and whatever, and a 12vdc power outlet or better yet a cigarette lighter and sell it as always having a way to make fire on board. I would also show it in the fast mode configuration to get some where FAST, as well as the power mode for hauling more weight at a slower speed. I would offer larger fuel tanks as well to have a decent range, and have the fuel tanks with attaching points so people can hang their own gear off of the tank and it is not just a fuel tank. Maybe even have an easy access spot on the tank for a place for a squeeze bottle of water so you can get a drink on the go. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. I'm really happy you're thinking along the lines of larger engines, because I know the big thing is always POWER and most look at these small engines as being toys and nothing serious to bet your life on. Keep up the great work and ideas.

[@scottlang7564]

wjf213 a 120 Honda will fit most places a 79cc harbor freight will my last build was a harbor freight 212cc. From experience with 79cc and other motors that is far from the best setup and can be very dangerous. The best setup is to mount to the seat tube. The only good thing about that mount is price. If you have access to even a Mimi Mill you can build a much better and safer mount for cheap .

[@scottlang7564]

Another thing that, that mount is good for is say a 5hp Briggs

[@wjf213]

Hi Scott, Thanks for the info. It's much appreciated. I'm always looking for any and ALL info from everyone who has even the slightest experience in this sort of thing. I'm looking to build 10 bikes that are exactly the same that we can use in emergencies and even just to ride for fun once in a while. So, let me get this straight, you installed a 212cc engine from Harbor Freight onto your bike and it's about the same size as the 79cc engines? Can you explain the engine mount in a little better detail please? I wish Bike Berry had a system with 4 stroke engines that are 5 to 8 horsepower. I like the Honda GX engines because it looks like they sit at a 45 degree angle and would fit inside a lot of bike frames unlike a normal horizontal engine would, with the cylinder straight up and down. I mean the GX120 stands 13 inches tall but that includes tank and air cleaner. Remove those and remount them, and I think you could really have a nice low profile set up. I don't think I'd go over 8hp or the Honda GX240 simply because I doubt the frames are really designed to take that kind of power and stress put on them, but what do I know. Stripped down, I think the GX240 would be around 13 inches tall and still fit in most frames, plus it has electric start and as much as an 18 amp charging, which could be very handy for recharging all kinds of electronics in a grid down situation, while riding around. For me running around on flat land here in the south, 5hp would be plenty but in serious hills and mountains I could see going with an 8hp if speed and power were needed but if not, I'd gear down the 5hp and give up a few MPH on the top end. I'd really be interested in anymore info you want to share. Thanks again Scott.

Tip for if your drilling holes through round pipe. Take a nail or a punch and hit it with a hammer in the spot you marked so the drill wont move while drilling

[@bikeberry]

great tip for creating a pilot hole.

[@doomslayer5191]

Damn son! In recently began learning and understanding how engines work and operate! Thankfully I can understand d some of the comments! I've been told two stroke is smaller and more proper than 4 stroke. Except 4 stroke offers higher torque at low rpm. Which means it's probably super good for those climbs!

[@chrishenniker5944]

You have one advantage over a two-stroke, you can use forced induction. I’d love to see one with a blower and fuel injection.

[@kevinlong7515]

5 months later how is it running?

[@foxtrottango8745]

Good Video guys... I encourage you to keep learning. Here’s a tip to keep the carburetor and fuel tank clean. Use non ethanol fuel because fuel containing 10% corn ethanol/ethanol draws moisture out of the air and that causes water build up in the fuel tank, if the tank is light steel it will rust? if it’s aluminum it will corrode, either way you will definitely get a water build up near the bottom of the tank that will end up in the carbs. float bowl causing corrosion and jet ports to clog up over time. I’ve been a Small Engine Mechanic since the ‘70’s... that chain tensioner is an accident waiting to happen! If it was my build and the frame had enough room in it? I would just discard that tensioner and take more links from the chain or drill a small hole through the frame if it’s wide enough and use a small bolt and lock nut to keep it from twisting. Because if the (2) U-bolts loosen up while riding? that tensioner could become loose and slip into the spokes, and your going to have a bad and painful day and will be shopping around online for a new rear wheel!! So if you can go straight from sprocket to sprocket without rubbing on the frame?? in my opinion that would be better. Be Safe and Have Fun‼️ 🏍 👍😎👍

[@wingerrrrrrrrr]

Government mandates the sole supply of ethanol laced gasoline, so not much alternative there.

[@foxtrottango8745]

[@fredfiftyfour2183]

Should be adding thread lock on all bolts....Also you should not be using the chain tensioner as provided. Since it's a friction fit it will have a tendency to roll into the spokes and lock up the rear wheel causing you to crash or at least wreck the wheel. adjust the chain length to tension it.

[@MrSFSTUDIOS]

Rebuilding the wheel hubs with fresh grease might be a smart thing to do first, since they will now see speeds they were never designed for.

If I was you I would make my own base plate and weld it in. You would add strength to the frame. Then I would actually weld in a chain tensioner bracket just bolting one on will rotate from the movement of the chain.

Anyone in the EU or Britain should know that, whilst great fun, these can only be used on private land. They are not allowed on cycleways, as in the UK the only powered cycles we allow are electric bikes up to 250 Watts power, under our EAPC Regs, similar in all EU. You can ride them on the roads, but you must have a licence, you must register them, fit number plates, pay Vehicle Excise Duty (Road Tax), have insurance (difficult) and wear a helmet, just like a motorcycle

[@kevinlee7263]

I wish someone would make an engine like this with a cylinder head angled forward instead of backwards. Seems like it would fit better in most bike frames, look better, and maybe cool better.

[@chriscraft4236]

At about 9:38 you removed a shield but did not put it back on, that shield is part of the engines cooling system . the shield directs air from the flywheel fins over the cylinder fins thus pushing the heat away from the engine. You should show that shield being reinstalled it is an important part of the engine. Just an idea to add to a cool video (thumb up)

[@MarkJones-qn1eg]

In this case with the engine being on a bicycle the air will be flowing by the head while riding. Doesn't need the shield

Very well done video. Of course you have your safety advocates and other critics making comments but the truth is these are fun and fairly inexpensive considering what you get for your money. Just like some of the critics learned through experience and trial and error, so should the next generation of kids and young adults coming of age. I don't like to be the person that got to enjoy these types of things and then start talking about the possible safety hazards and other issues in a severely negative way. It's great to warn others and let them know what they may face but to sound as if these things shouldn't be used and make them sound like they are death traps is wrong. Hey, you critics got to enjoy and experience these things, along with other things that the younger generation hasn't, let them have some fun and learn on their own. It's actually good to warn people about potential pitfalls but don't scare people to the point that they may very well abandon their goal of building or owning one of these fun rides. We didn't wear bicycle helmets when we were kids and we didn't have most of the safety gear that is used today, yet the vast majority of us turned out great and we had a really fun time doing things. Give the warnings but without the doom and gloom. Great video.

Careful at full throttle when hitting bumps. Over throttling will rip that crappy PLASTIC throttle cable eyelet apart (maybe Dorman makes a better one). I always thought a spring resisted thumb throttle would be a nice feature on these rather than using the entire grip/hand rest. And mechanical cruise control. Basically a throttle lock that will disengage if the handle bars sway quickly and/or a brake is applied. That is a really good engine mount tho.

[@bikeberry]

Great suggestion!

[@metamorphicorder]

Every kit throttle ive had has been crap other than one i got with a staton inc friction drive. That one used a brake lever as the throttle. I exclusively use brake levers now. I have the throttle on the right side and i use a dual pull brake lever on the left side. I have one drum brake wheel on the front and will soon have one on the back too. It takes a little getting used to for turns. Ive only dumped myself once and that was because i was being dumb and not paying attention at a stop light and i tried to stop go and turn all at the same time. My shoulder still hurts. Dont do that. But the lever throttle is awesome. No hand fatigue. At one point i had a clutch lever for the two stroke on one build and it was like having a cruise control at just under wide open because of the lock on it. Im probably gonna try to get another one like that.

Can this kit be had without the engine? I have one of the 79cc four stroke engines, identical to the one in the video except the shroud and tank are blue.

[@bikeberry]

you can buy parts by giving us a call at [phone]

[@marcs4091]

So after you install the pod filter what happens to the tube coming out of the head. Not having that run back into the carburetor would that cause you to lose horsepower?

[@18wheeler77]

Could you use the original rear sprockets to change gears?

[@bikeberry]

You certainly can. The original drive train is left unaltered and has no affect on the engine's drive train or performance.

[@nickhersheys2706]

Use a jackshaft kit. But it's no easy job.

I have a Schwinn Tandem with a Old School Cruiser Frame. I'd like to add a 4 stroke motor. It seems i can place the engine in the front area and just make sure the chain is long enough. Has anyone installed a motor on a tandem frame?

This was how I wanted to power my bike to get to school, but when I realized that this modification made bikes illegal to use on public sidewalks and illegal to use on public roads without registration, I went with electric. It's quieter and simpler to install, plus it's legal to use in most cases.

[@decoylol]

Motorized bikes engines are legal in all states

[@thatrecord5313]

@@decoylol Legal, yes. I know that. Legal to operate on sidewalks and bike lanes on roads without registration? No.

[@umaxen0048]

Beautiful video. Most will still be UNABLE to accomplish the work! I was going to write a negative review UNTIL you explained SPOKE specifications at the very beginning of the video. What I have learned is the HEAVIEST spokes must be used. Bikes are NOT designed for engines. I'd go with a HD industrial Worksman bike that's manufactured in the USA.

[@farrisizwan6148]

Hwo many

[@nickhersheys2706]

Dont you have to install the sprocket the other way around to avoid the chain from hitting the tire?

[@bikeberry]

Flipping the sprocket can add an additional 1/8 of an inch of clearance, which can help in a tight pinch, though there should not be any problems when using a standard 26" tire.

[@timothybarrows331]

I'm looking for your 100 cc 2-stroke motor for my bike

[@thomashamilton8999]

Its a damn shame these motor kits and the way they always end up destroying the bicycle in a very short time hasnt been even remotely adressed.ive installed over 20 of these kits over the years for people but after nearly losing my oldest and dearest friend from a horrendous crash on his motored beach cruiser due to a frame weld failure im done. the kits are not designed to deal with the stress that the speed and viberation these installs put on a bicycle. The pieces to make one of these conversions a safe and reliable ride are certainly out there heavy duty wheelsets, billet hubs motor plates ,etc. but the basic kit that people get is the beginning of a long and expensive disapointment . Especially for those people expecting to use one of these builds to be reliable cheap transportation. .The issues that arise are always going to be the simple fact that the components provided cant support the forces the motor will place on a bike for long. And buying the stuff to make a huffy or similular bike hold together will cost enough to buy an actual moped or scooter. And now ill get slammed for dissing these kits . But these conversions to a common bike are for an accomplished person with better than average mechanical skills and the common sense to realize 30 plus mph on a murray sante fe isnt gonna be a long term relationship. Or cheap. Blessings to all who seek the light that is truth!

[@bikeberry]

No argument at all. Many bicycle frames are not designed for the high speeds that these engines produce, and the few that are made for these speeds are still susceptible to the constant vibration of the motor. We encourage everyone to practice safe riding behavior and to do regular maintenance and inspections in order to reduce the likelihood of an accident.There are accessories that can absorb the vibration greatly, but it is still not 100% efficient. We encourage everyone to pick the bike that works best for them.

[@kyushka.]

Thomas Hamilton hey man I feel you but do you think it will be safe I put it in a razor mx650 electric bike

[@bikeberry]

Without major modifications to the bike, most of our engines would not fit. Razor's electric bikes all have small frames that would not allow proper mounting of internal combustion engines.

[@kyushka.]

BikeBerrycom it looks bigger than that frame you have there

[@bikeberry]

We may be wrong but from our understanding most of razor's frames are mini replicas of full sized vehicles, the mx650 being a mini bike intended for children. The Micargi frame used is a standard 26", intended for adult males.

[@rbarbour64]

Why you did not put the key back in the key way on the shaft?

[@martinneps9387]

How much does something like this cost already all done bike motor everything do you do that or not or how much is the motor please comment back with both prices would love to know thank you so very much for this video this is really cool It would be nice just going down by the beach with it and chilling out thank you very much for this video hope to hear back from you

[@izayuhhbohjanglez441]

I can do that for you and insanely cheap just as long as you provide the bike, (preferably a 26in beach cruiser bike) and the engine would only cost you around $200 . I’ll do the rest for you, (installing etc) I am someone that just loves putting these bikes together. No risk involved.

[@randymarsh1164]

thinking my next build might be a 4 stroke, is there a manual clutch option for them yet? I frequently shut my 2 stroke off at intersections and then fire it up again, can you get a good enough pull on the starter while riding it? I also idle around quite a bit at low RPM's guessing this would not work with that setup or I would be burning up the clutch a lot

[@mikefawc22]

Would the transmission thing work on a gx160 or Honda clone ?

[@slothypunk]

I am interested on this kit. Quick question and it is probably a stupid 1, I saw you are installing the kit on a fixie bike without brake, I am just wondering how you safely and properly brake?

[@bikeberry]

The bike we used is our Micargi Rover. It has a free wheel hub and a coaster brake. We left the coaster brake on for the convenience of this video, since we would only be riding at slow speeds and in a controlled area. It is always recommended to have a front brake for adequate stopping power.

[@s-warper9855]

I was looking into getting this but it is out of stock everywhere, anyone know why

Nobody can order a kit if u don't have them I can't find one kit in Stock

Sorry for the inconvenience, these are flying off the shelves faster than we can keep them in stock. Surely our new best seller. Check back next week as we are currently restocking our inventory.

[@maybedos]

Grease your bearings or your cranks will feel chalky and will mess up pretty quickly. Done this mistake as a kid when I forgot to grease my headset and they were done in 3 days.

[@bikeberry]

Completely agree. Thankfully all of the bearings came pre-greased.

[@nomadicscrapper2965]

BikeBerrycom they often do. Idk I'm probably going to grease mine up pretty good cause they are going to spin alot faster alot longer.

[@zappatx]

Important step! Use a good synthetic grease on all crank and wheel bearings!!

[@nickhersheys2706]

When you took of the original air filter, there is a tube coming out of the OHV cover. Does the tube hole need a filter?

[@bikeberry]

I believe you are referring to the breather. It let's the pressure used in oil injection to be ventilated out of the crank case. It is a one way vent, and if properly working, will not introduce any debris into the engine. A breather filter can be used to catch any oil that may potentially spew out, but is not entirely necessary.
