Friction driven? Gotta talk with the King OF everything, Florida to Cal, Cal to Florida... JARROD D. He's the King.

[@octaneaddiction1405]

I had one of these and the crankshaft in the engine broke after a few months.

[@captscarlet8793]

My kit only has two of those notched rectangular blocks, should I put them on the front or the back? I also received two of those lever type clamps that you have on the outside/back, does one go on the front? Or is my included hardware just all fubar?

[@chrisgraffam3357]

What do you guys use for friction drive tires

[@rowronnie299]

Good precise video 🙂

[@ramonperez6767]

Thanks for this video,help me lot with my kit. Not Instructions.Thanks again,have nice day.

[@carloscondedealmeida4281]

Hi Tony, how are you? My name is Carlos and I speak from Brazil. I am subscribed to your channel and follow with great interest the tests and assembly of motorized bicycles. Well, actually, I'm architect, but I have a passion, which is bicycles, I pedal a lot.... I've already designed and built some and at the moment, I want to assemble one on the friction system, more or less like the one in your video. I'm not looking for the whole kit that you present here, but only the friction drive roller...Would it be possible for me to purchase only this specific part? Congratulations on the simplicity and competence with which you conduct this channel!

[@Jarrod_D]

Hole saw +paddle bit + piece of pipe= roller any size

[@laerthedacruz7809]

The best roller to put on a bicycle with a friction motor is a 1/2 drill chuck....

[@laerthedacruz7809]

​@@carloscondedealmeida4281, I am assembling a bicycle with a 63cc 2-stroke engine and using nothing less than a new 1/2 inch drill chuck on the grinder as a friction roller on the rear tire, a speed of +/- can be achieved. 50 to 55 km/hr. using a 26 wheel bike, it works really well.

[@RashfiRussell]

Can I use it for my fat tyre. Almost 4 inch

AMF made a moped years ago that had the engine right over the tire

How much oil does it need in the crank case

How fast does it go ?

[@user-we2zy4jk4o]

Because I bot A two stroke bran New and A cruzer at walmart.and the chain to the moter it keeps getting stuck what do I do

[@user-we2zy4jk4o]

Where do you by that moter

[@larryshaver3568]

i would use friction tape to hold the throttle grip on

[@larryshaver3568]

i would lubricate the moving parts of the friction linkage so they don'r seize

[@RANDOM-zc2bs]

Is the engine loud ?

[@MrHugemoth]

I put one of your 38cc friction drive kits on a bike a couple years ago. The main issue with the kit is the roller diameter is too big. Even on level pavement the clutch will never fully engage. To make it work I ground down the roller to .975" which seems a out right for the 38cc engine.

[@paradiselost9946]

back when i was running them, 1/2" external star washers worked great. i think theyre 3/4 on the OD? or 13/16... meh. long time ago. stacked, makes splined shafts. bolt up the middle, clamp them together, and as they wear can re-arrange them. gotta consider the roller as a wheel running on the ground itself, and yeah, gear ratio demands it be under an inch in diameter. 22mm. wheel diameter doesnt matter. and that makes the contact patch too small so theyre always slipping, chewing tyres, need high pressures, blah blah. only really good friction drive i made was running a 6" scooter tyre. rubber on rubber, and the larger diameter meant it NEVER slipped.

[@robertdunn4145]

ihave the 49cc one i put over a 700 miles on it. the motor gets great gas mpg and it use verey little oil .the only downside is when it rains it loses traction on the rear tire.Its a good fair weather kitt,as for how fast the bike 30 mph full speed going on flat highway and about 16 t0 20 mph on up steep hills the not bad .iam 6,2 and 220 pounds .

[@carloscondedealmeida4281]

Hello tony! Once you haven't seen my comment and not even answered my question, I insist and return, asking you the same once more....Where or how could I purchase specificaly the friction drive roller ? If someone else here have this information, I'll be very gratefull for the help.

[@Jarrod_D]

I'm here they sell that roller on bikeberry 19.99 us

[@GeorgeG-kr8zw]

I always wondered why they can't use another rubber wheel instead of metal? Maybe it might not work in the rain but I would still want one. The tire wear you would avoid would be fantastic. I don't care if the other wheel wears.

[@larryshaver3568]

what do those two wires connect to?

[@captscarlet8793]

the engine kill switch on the throttle.

i have an 66cc kit with tunning cylinder head , expension chamber and hp carb the top speed is 40km/h and is so slow for me . what i can do to increase the top speed and the acceleration i have 44t sprocket . i think the carb it is not good . what can i do ?

I would suggest anyone making one of these bikes to gusset the frame the welds on a bicycle frame are not designed to take the strain of engine power a little scrap steel and a cheap welder goes a long way

[@garygullikson6349]

It's a shame that you can't somehow cut a section out of the rear fender for the friction drive to contact the tire and leave the fender on if wanted.

[@zaphnath74]

nice voice

[@randallwarren9096]

You forgot to use lock tight

[@predragdjokovic3419]

I do not like this friction motor. It seems someone who will drive will partially sit on the motor. Kits with 2 stroke or 4 stoke engines mounted on the frame with the chain look in my opinion much better, although this friction motor is prety easy to install.

[@m.shannon7838]

With this design I would be concerned with possible left cheek butt burn?

[@mathieutallard6328]

I prefer the chain drive. No comparison.

[@Jarrod_D]

Oh contraire mon frere 😅 I rode a friction drive across America last year Florida to California and back . Fact 💯 I do Doordash from one fulltime as well . I post a little bit of it on my channel.

And Eh, bravo for your trip, i did Montréal key west California and back too but this one on a Kawa Ltd 250 with a belt drive. I plan to go back to Nicaragua this year and....with a chain drive !

with these kits, your really trying to get lucky. the drive spindle clutch is usually welded bent, and sticks out too far, so the clutch is rubbing 24/7. and bikeberry doesn’t offer free returns for defective items. quite sad really
