LAWN MOWER Motorized Bike (Part 1/2)

Hey everyone! I'm finally back home. Today we take on the new challenge of building a legitimate lawnmower motorized bike. The difficulty in this build is converting the vertical shaft output of the lawnmower engine into a horizontal output. I scavenged a few parts from the junkyard to make this doable. Be sure to check out other build on the channel such as go karts, mini bikes, gas scooters, go peds, motorcycles and anything motor bikes.

Welcome back.TY for Serving.I wondered how you got those mad CNC skills.Mike Festiva really does allot with his too.Keep up the fun.We'll be here.

[@StringerMedia]

You’re builds are getting more advanced yet mostly simple to the point where I could find the parts! As someone who just uses stuff I find this channel helps a lot, you should do something like this without welds and ect

[@OliverMotorized]

Thanks! Maybe one of these days I will, Colin Furse did a few videos like that too!

[@StringerMedia]

Oliver Motorized you should try something again with those Chinese atv parts and/ riding mower.

A little computer burner like that can really elevate a guy's creativity and final product. Everybody needs one.

I really like shorter to the point videos but I’m sure there are folks who like the extras. Great build. Maybe add a two belt system and make it two speed easier of the line and then cruise speed

Thanks Timothy!

[@jimcox6661]

I love your videos , a regular guy - regular tools - no unneeded jibber jabber or cursing, love the fact that you involved your girlfriend on one of your builds that alone very special. Man you remind me of when I was young from 9 years old building whatever I could find in a landfill raised very poor and today I'm a fabricator my heart I wouldn't do it any other way, seeing you build stuff in your environment is the way it really is for most of us some videos show the best of the tools the best of the environment The Best of the Best of the Best of the Best and we can't compete with that but you bring it all to reality and that is why I'm so grateful to find your videos.

I'm really happy to see you back, and with an awesome new set of tools and machines! I will say, I missed the vocal commentary through your old videos, but this format is nice too. I'm so excited to see how clean your builds are gonna look!

[@OliverMotorized]

Thanks Zyron! Yeah I am just experimenting with different communication techniques. By vocal commentary do you mean the narration or stopping and explaining stuff as I go on camera?

[@ZyronMelancon]

Oliver Motorized I meant more like stopping and talking during the video. But either way works! I just feel it’s a more personal experience, hearing your thought process as you go

Thanks Bob, yeah that plasma cutter will cut anything from aluminum to stainless. I still have a lot to learn about it too though!

[@declanm5088]

Glad to see you are back! Love the project, but make sure you find yourself a cast iron flywheel to replace the aluminum one. Cheers!

[@OliverMotorized]

Thanks Declan! Are you saying the aluminum pulley needs to go?

[@declanm5088]

@@OliverMotorized No, that running an aluminum flywheel might give you problems as that engine usually runs with a blade attached, which acts as a flywheel. Remove it and it can backfire, pulling the rope out of your hand and also it won't idle. Swap it to a cast iron flywheel, if you haven't already.

[@colinmcafee608]

Welcome back from overseas, we missed you. But understand and appreciate why you were gone. Started watching this video derived comfort from seeing another $5 bicycle being whacked apart. Then I was sure I went to the KZbin Twilight Zone: CAD? 3D printer?! A plasma table??!! Holy s#$@, Batman! Took a few minutes to calm down. Anywho, welcome to the 21st century of metalworking. While the stuff is cool and loads of help, please don't let it curb your creative expression. Use the stuff like the tools they are, to help you expand your work horizon and take you to the next level of projects. P.S.: the stuff's also an absolute kick in the ass to learn to operate!

[@OliverMotorized]

Thanks Colin, I definitely see what you are saying. I had a sense of guilt using these devices because it didn't feel like I was truly making the parts. But I had to convince myself in reality, I could make all these mechanisms by hand but it would just take much longer and use more tools.

Those motors can be very hard to start without the blades flywheel effect, they will often kick back and rip the pull starter out of your hands, thats why I used a Suzuki m120x 2stroke engine, and put it sideways 😉

[@joemanning8564]

Maybe a Small boat engine :) , as your next project.

[@OliverMotorized]

[@joemanning8564]

@@OliverMotorized I mean all you have to do is replace the prop with a gear sprocket and the other neccesaties like throttle and mounting it. Although you would have to figure out a way to water cool it.

[@AjabuDaGreat]

I like this 😂

[@tslim250]

Very cool, but a pro tip from a veteran laser operator, clean the scale from the surface for a better cut as well as dry run your program first and that way you can nest your parts better and reduce waste. i noticed you had tons of space between the parts and you can get away with spacing your cuts double the thickness of the material with plasma. laser is even better.

[@OliverMotorized]

Thanks for the advice! I definitely could work on consolidating cuts better. It's just difficult as the parts become more obscure in shape.

Welcome back! Now build a lawn mower out of a bike. ;)

[@MartinSage]

Yea, we have a cad 3-D printer cutter whatever you got there. Welder too? Titanium Saw, yea I got one next to my Mini Nuclear Reactor. Next you’ll be making a Jet Engine for your Composite Conard dual wing aircraft like Burt Rutan sold in kit form in the 80’s. He used a little 23hp engine but it cruised at 120mph with 150mph top speed. Others popped in a superVw 100hp to get the plane to 200mph. Not bad, huh? You some kind of Engineer Prodigy, me thinks so! Anyway I digress. Have a 6.75 hp Craftsman lawn mower with electric start that would power an old bike just fine me thinks.

[@BuildProne]

@@OliverMotorized 540cc briggs 18hp intek with clone mikuni carb. im running a modified peerless with full steel gears instead of cast iron and just recently made a brand new gear ratio for it that doesn't normally exist by welding to the neutral gear. so first gear is 25-25 and second is 31-19. Still not sure how to do my belt tensioner as I've tried a couple different ways but nothing seems to be able to keep the belt from slipping. I use to run chains the whole way around till recently when i added that second gear.
