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?

[@OliverMotorized]

What do you think; pedal clutch or hand-lever clutch? Also, for those pointing out that I won't be able to use the geared hub -- You are right! oops

[@Katarsis84]

pedal of course

[@Mikefestiva]

Nice work! I think a foot pedal clutch would be good 👍

[@sirsteven2945]

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

[@gypsymike3739]

Anyone realize he is basically completely bypassing the 3 speed hub?

[@OliverMotorized]

Haha I very well could be. Not to big of a deal otherwise. Just false advertising 😂.

Foot pedal

[@rubentrevino2372]

Anything vintage is always close to my ♥️ of hearts! 😊 Thanks Oliver!

[@OliverMotorized]

yay! glad you like it

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@fredrick9026]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jaysworkshop2394]

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

[@lancestephenson9375]

A gokart clutch seems wayyyyyyy more convenient

[@BuildBreakFix]

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!

[@StupidEarthlings]

"Poley". Friggin love ya man!!!

[@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]

I commented too soon. Haha

[@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.

[@ericberardinelli3415]

Hand clutch....keepin' it old school

[@randallchunn8286]

Foot peddle !! You need both hands on the handlebars for safety reasons 😊

Looking good, fun project. Also I think a foot clutch would be cool and functional 👍

[@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

[@stefanandersson3774]

Great jobb! There is nice sound in B&S- easy to work with. 👌💖✨

[@subjectyes]

Foot petal clutch Def 🙌

[@sumdude4]

Definitely the foot pedal clutch.

[@narrowboatfreya5623]

haha it's looking like a foot pedal it is.

[@geoffreyjones2000]

I have a Sachs rotary that I want to use for a project just like this one, sir... pedal clutch

[@sumdude4]

I've been wanting one of those for ages for a motorized bike project.

[@OliverMotorized]

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

[@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.

[@StupidEarthlings]

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

[@OliverMotorized]

haha Thanks

[@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

[@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 :)

[@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 !

[@thememebois4972]
