Old fashioned Motorized Bike |Part 1|

Hi everyone, So I'm working on getting all the parts I'm gonna need for my next project, but in the mean time I decided to make another super cool vintage motor bike. we got a 5hp Briggs and stratton engine ( not one of those predator 212cc engines lol!) and an older 70s-80-s? bicycle.

Foot pedal clutch!

[@OliverMotorized]

the consensus is overwhelming haha

[@StraightLineCycles]

@@OliverMotorized I recently built a brake pedal for my motorcycle that I'm building , It's in one of my videos

[@StraightLineCycles]

@@OliverMotorized so for the rear brake, could you make a ring that welds on top of the tabs so that there is a consistent surface area for the brake pad?

I’m in favor of the foot petal clutch as well

[@gypsycrow3917]

That pulley system is genius.

[@sparkiegarage8083]

Foot pedal clutch sounds dope!😎

[@OliverMotorized]

everyone else seems to think so too!

[@michaelnixon3364]

5:34 haha reminds me of my first build with my grandpa, we cut part of a bicycle frame bent it up and welded it back on to fit the motor in haha barely had enough chain once I got it all figured out cause it snapped 3 times had so much fun struggling with it n man I miss him but I'll forever remember that and a few more memories great content

[@fredrick9026]

Foot pedal clutch. Just make sure to use some sort of safety stop so you don’t “over-push”? the pedal.

[@860707jl]

Hi Oliver, have an idea for a rear break. Use the break in the hub, as the hub is not used for driving, let the sprocket idle and weld a lever arm on the sprocket and connect to a link to a foot pedal break.

[@Glaswalker1001]

I love that build! Especially that you let us take a peek at your method and decision making process. I personally would go for a foot pedal clutch BTW.

[@lancestephenson9375]

A gokart clutch seems wayyyyyyy more convenient

[@aliciaantoniadis9100]

Absolutely loved it! The Swedish alphabet is there, the green little Ryobi grinder and your awesome sense of humor. I cannot thank you enough. I am voting for the "handclutch", because I would like this project to be able to utilize the bike's internal gears. Granted, that will be a bit difficult, fitting all there, but it is what my heart whishes. Thank you once again, and I am so much looking forward to the next part. Sincerely, Alicia from Sweden.

[@martinlicht1969]

Like your work. When I was your age in 1967, I put an English racer 3 speed hub in back wheel. Was great fun til I power down shifted and sheared a gear...but really worked well shifting up.

[@simonallan9941]

That motor is enormous, my 2stroke Suzuki 3.8hp M120X lawnmower engine is less than 5kg on my bicycle, and the best part is, its got cast iron bore and conrod, also needle roller bearings, does 85kph, but I bet your Briggs and Stratton is more economical lol.

[@williamrhea5400]

great video and explanations ! i did a v-belt drive and for the ''whizzer style drive ring'' i used a plastic wheelchair rim , i shaved the spokes down to thin them to clear frame and so it would 'sandwich' flush against my wheel , the center of the w-chair wheel fit over the wheel hub making it like true center...

[@Everatti]

I think a foot clutch would be quite unique. Most other projects you’ve built have a hand clutch. I’d try a foot clutch to switch it up! It’ll also look a bit cleaner than a huge lever next to you.

[@OliverMotorized]

I haven’t seen one comment for the hand lever yet! Thanks for the input

[@StupidEarthlings]

"Poley". Friggin love ya man!!!

[@rastamanralph6670]

It's great to see you doing a project with the 3 speed hub after I told you about the vintage bike I used to have with gears.💛👍 actually I don't think it was you I told but still it's great to see someone doing it.

[@motorizedbicyclerider5296]

Hey cool that's going to be a classic old school motorized bicycle 🚲💨💨💨💨💨💨💯💪👍

[@OliverMotorized]

Thats the goal!

[@motorizedbicyclerider5296]

@@OliverMotorized thanks for your reply take a look at my channel like and subscribe thanks 💯🚲👍

[@ryanE95]

Since you dont have rear brakes anymore, you could use the handlebar brake lever as a clutch release, as if it were a dirt bike. Not sure if youd be able to make enough force to overcome spring compression needed for the tensioner however. Worth a shot though

[@aliciaantoniadis9100]

Crap. I just read your comment where you say you will not be able to use the bike's gears. Well, I will just have to wait and see how this turns out. And with that said I think this project will get the footclutch. May the force be with you Oliver.

[@sageminentjunky5197]

Great job welding those rims? I've welded my share of bike frames and know just how thin that metal is, I can't imagine what welding a rim most of been like. Also,I really like the way you thought to power the bike with rear wheel like that. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration.

Part 2??? I'm disappointed though! The Last bike build you built, you at least lite your self on fire for us LOL Seriously cool stuff can't wait to see part 2!

[@killfoot961]

Drive belt idea. Find a belt off any semi/tractor trailer, the wider the better and cut of a rib a time til it fits.

[@killfoot961]

Great work as allways mister!

[@OliverMotorized]

appreciated!

[@jaysworkshop2394]

Foot pedal. Anyone else getting any early Harley Davidson vibs?

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

Both clutch setups are unsafe. Just put a centrifical clutch on it. If you drop it and its running. These methods could make it engaged the whole time. I would say the leaver if you are going that way. Maybe with a way to make it drop out of service if it gets bumped. You may need to balance the wheel. its not hard if you do a bit of research. good ole fashioned coaster breaks work well but the main issue i see is if your under power and you break. They will fight each other. Just food for thought Oliver dude. You may get away with just welding a new ring all the way around the rim (sprocket side) and that will make it smooth again. If the brakes will go this wide

[@thememebois4972]

Foot pedal also love you videos keep up the great work!

[@OliverMotorized]

sounds good, thanks

[@kodyjbosch1]

the hand lever looks more cool , aesthetically pleasing. but the Foot pedal seems to make more practical sense. Go wild! :) - I love it. I built a moped last summer. but just with a made in china kit. but put it on a bike from the 7os that we rode around as kids. so I had to do a lot of custom work, and am now machining parts, had to pretty much completely rebuild the bike from scratch . but I am not pleased with the china 2 stroke kits. so definitely taking inspiration from you. (roto tiller, lawnmower engines). My sister's bicycle (From when we were kids) - is very similar to the one you are using here and has the 3 speed hub...hrmmmm... thanks so much :D

[@OliverMotorized]

Haha awesome! It’s a super fun hobby to mess around with.

[@kodyjbosch1]

@@OliverMotorized Right? I love it. Even as much as all the tools add up 🤣😭😭😭 -, and having to do the same thing 5 times to get it to work correctly. :P thanks so much :)

[@171apples171]

Hey man, I'm in Iowa and all I do is mess with small engines and such. Not sure how far away that is from you but we could probably do some trading, junk motors for junk motors lol let me know. Aside from that, love the channel man. Your videos probably show alot of people how tangible these neat motorized projects are to someone without alot of fancy tools or supplies.

[@ScottGovey]

Hand clutch, and see if you can utilize still keeping the pedals so you don't have to push it when it breaks down or run out of fuel. Just my thoughts

oh that would be an awesome engine to use! jealous.

[@markyedlicka]

Definitely foot clutch!!!!

[@captainlandyacht1328]

Foot pedal combined with a brake. Forward is go, middle is neutral, rock back is brake.

[@ridefaster6802]

HAND Clutch all the way!

[@PapiDoesIt]

A foot clutch would look cleaner and be much easier to operate.

[@OliverMotorized]

Sounds like most would agree! It’ll also be easier to design 😅

[@supersportryder]

Jackshaft to the 3 speed and use it. Take the rim off the wheel and ditch the belt drive, I know you already did the frame but I would like to see if that 3 speed assembly can hold up to a briggs and shift.

[@OliverMotorized]

I'll make 3 speed work, don't worry !

[@guybarnett131]

But I say hand lever does sound badass!

[@juantabby4787]

Hand, but use a brake lever and spring so it works like a motorcycle clutch.

[@motoslave3209]

Perfekt

[@race-all]

Foot clutch is always cooler by far. Your gonna need your hands for brakes, I think.

[@thadnipper9411]

Foot pedal clutch will be suicidal unless you include another place to put your foot like a running board that you can put the weight of your leg on.

Yup! This is an OG build. I meed to invest in you somehow.

[@OliverMotorized]

haha Thanks

[@sunshinegalabayvlog4276]

Nice

[@vortexbobcat4556]

awsome

[@mattyharris9078]

Foot pedal clutch. Also I see you have the crossfire pro plasma table do you have the plasma cutter they offer with the table? If so do you recommend it?

[@OliverMotorized]

Yeah I have the stock razorweld cutter on there. The only issue I’ve had is that the air won’t stop after a part is cut out. So I have to press a button to stop it-not a big deal. But I’m not sure if that’s the plasma cutter or a software issue. I don’t really have any experience to compare the razorweld to but it seems to do the job. It has stopped a few times mid cut, but that could be because of air quality or poor ground. A lot of reviews say it’s a bad cutter but I’m happy with it so far.

[@Shulkyl]

that'll have a lotta torque ahah popping wheelies like nothing

[@OliverMotorized]

haha I could always change the gearing on the jackshaft too
