I'm usually indifferent to these type of bikes but this particular design is very cool. That color just pops and really serves to accentuate that classic style. Pretty impressive.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Just to clear up any confusion the tool that the gentleman calls vice grips are not vice grips at all Those are in actuality slip joint pliers and are commonly called channel locks

[@tommytwotoes3880]

Mount the engine mounting bolts with the head facing up. If the nut comes off you have a better chance of not losing the bolt. In aircraft maintenance if you put the nut up you would probably be fired.

[@majorgeneral5935]

Probably the BEST ride / Speed videos EVER !!, Can see the speedo, hear the engine gives real world feel for the power characteristics of this bike. THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO

[@mikesbarn1858]

Great assembly video. I bought the 2022 version. Found pedal chain way too tight. Removed governor inside engine then changed to 19 mm round slide carb. Great performance.

[@hedvigjenson4902]

Thank you for taking the time provide so much detail and informative video. Very much needed and extremely welcomed! 😃

[@douglasdailey5998]

Nice bike, i really like the color, people can see that coming.

[@Frank-rh7vh]

Way more Better than a factory instruction - understandable and precise - Thank You very much !!! And btw. a very nice bike and colour. LIKE

[@DavidmByrd]

After I had Rocker off road shocks installed on my front wheel by a professional bicycle mechanic, I truly appreciate the double Lock down instead of spacer approach. When it's important there is no replacing a professional. Rear Disk brake is 100% impressive bye the way.

[@modeler007]

It's a lifan industrial motor. Basically a Briggs and Stratton clone. It and it's peers are used for everything from mopeds to water pumps to go karts

[@Bravo21]

A very nice video, well done. Appreciate you. I would like to add that if you don't do much riding off road, one thing you can do to make your bike faster and improve the range and ride quality is to replace the factory knobby tires with a set of good street tires of the same size. Switching the off road tires for a set of smooth street tires offers advantages and improvements you will notice immediately. The street tires have less rolling resistance than the knobby tires so your millage and speed will both increase. They are also much quieter and give you a better ride and control when riding on pavement, it's Win-Win. Thanks again _ great video.

[@jayrowe6473]

Excellent video! I just found out about these bikes yesterday, and I'm in the discovery phase. I'm really considering getting one.

[@jeffreyhopkins4157]

I just unboxed and started to assemble my new Rover 2020. Your video is what gave me the confidence to perform the task at hand comfortably. I think I noticed a Sachtler Tripod which explains why the video quality was so good. You know your equipment (video). I had to quit because it got too dark in my work area, but I will finish and post again when it's done to let you know how I did tomorrow. Thank you - Jeffeo

[@ronb8052]

I've been thinking of a gas bike versus an electric one....since seeing your video, I'll probably to with gas.......great instructions...thanks.

Red loctite is a bad idea Most cases you will need to heat it up to remove it. Blue is fine for a bike.

[@krispeterson1021]

I suggested he just put one small drop on there..

That tool is called a set of snap ring pliers. Great job I like that bike it's sweet

I really dont like the typical gas-frame bike but the spoked wheels make them look better to me personally. Also, I prefer spokes so that when accidents happen, it's possible to straighten the wheels back out.

[@ianmangham4570]

Spokes are easily the best and lighter option

Like your instructions, only thing I would change is using BLUE thread locker not the red. Red makes removing the bold almost impossible without destroying it. My experience your may very.

[@handyrandy111]

Hey MJ, good video is it possible to jack shaft the jack shaft? So we can power the gears. Thank you.

[@billh3-21]

If blue locktite has less holding power this is true, red is more holding some times requiring heat to remove fasteners!

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

Just to clear upany confusion the c clip removal tool Is in actuality known as Snap ring pliers Snap rings are for some reason are known c clips cir clips but they are in actuality only sold in stores As snap rings

[@standtallvets5386]

I would have used a different exhaust. A chrome pipe that came forward and then down around the cover and back toward the rear wheel. Then use a chrome heat shield on the top part of the exhaust to the first bend of the chrome pipe. That would make the bike really stand out, and keep the riders leg from having to move out and away from that cage.

[@donjaun540]

You did a very good job with installation of parts and making video.

[@tylerdubois8255]

So it’s up and running but when we’re actually on it and you hit the throttle you hear slight clicking noise which we think the chain might be too tight so we’re gonna try and relieve tension but there’s also a slight squeaking and we don’t know if it’s the brakes rubbing it because i did have an issue with the back brake pads being way too tight

[@user-jq1hr1dk4n]

Master!

[@jamest.5001]

Avoid the red lock tight, thread locker especially if it's a bolt you may want to remove, you can destroy the bolt trying to get it out!!

[@albertgutierrez7036]

So does this bike use a standard motorcycle gas cap or do I need to buy a specific one. I was thinking about buying for food delivery but backed out of it because I didn’t know if I could upgrade the cap to a keyed locked cap since I didn’t want people stealing or messing with the gas.

[@orvjudd1383]

You should a fuel shutoff valve on the tank.

[@EndOfTheWoods]

My crank shaft came with 2 right hand bores in 2019. The left peddle was in perpetual loosening until I replaced the shaft. Love the bike though, the assembly was kind of therapeutic, I thought.

[@zedee2000]

Installed blue lock tite when on new center crank nuts later loosened. Bent bolt got a new one added red lock tite tightened tight. I have turned wrenches for the years all ways use lock tite. For rust prevention, backing off, breaking off, stripping threads out when coming loose and more! I always say do the job right the first time. So you don't have to do it a second time possibly get hurt spend more down time and money. So many people I have come behind and fixed things for not doing the job right and stuff not tight with lock tite the first time and not thinking (What could go wrong with what I'm doing?)

[@mrobertson188]

I didn't realize you had to do a complete assembly on these

[@jeffreyhopkins4157]

It's not a complete assembly. All you have to do is mount the front tire, mount the engine and handlebars. A few other items like the throttle, but that's it's a piece of cake. - Jeffeo

[@miguel360kmc]

As said its not a complete assembly... HOWEVER its a mass production bike 🏍 made with cheap parts. When you get it you NEED to take apart everything grease and oil what should be greased or oiled lockthight everything than ride it. Thats how i got over 20,000 miles on more or less a stock bike. I did upgrade jackshaft bearings highly recommend doing that right away makes it easier plus the stock bearings suck night and day with some good ones. 👍 even had a bad wreck on my bike folded my CDH forks rim still good! Bike still starts 1 pull but is finally running ruff and gets hot 🔥 fast!

[@benjaminmiller4001]

​@@miguel360kmc so you took the engine apart and tightlocked it back together?

[@bensnipes7288]

You are going to regret using red thread locker.....will need heat to break the bolts. Blue is all you need. Good looking bike though! The yellow looks awesome!

[@jamest.5001]

Yeah, the blue is plenty!

[@catsbyondrepair]

You never use thread locker it just causes trouble later.

[@zedee2000]

Always blue on everything and tight if it comes loose. use red like on my back phat moto sprocket my 2019 back sprocket is not hub piloted - center suported not good. Why things come loose more often when on these bikes no rubber motor mounts like cars, trucks, generators and more to reduce vibration.

[@tomtee4442]

Phat moto has solid motor mounts so it wiggles stuff loose like my muscle car with solid motor mounts typical things loose too. I always use blue lock type on everything and if the bolts come loose I put red loctite back in it I never had to use heat backing off blue, red or even green loctite bolts. But when bolts come out or loose they can strip threads break things be a real disaster and leave you stranded. I've seen it a lot from do-it-yourselfers not getting bolts tight enough and doing things right the first time.

[@markrajfura4443]

Very nice and informative video. Did you eventually use the threadlock on the motor? Looks like the adjustment of the chain is by loosening the screws and moving the motor.

[@johngoodin3445]

I’ve got a question. What app would you recommend I use to keep track of my speed, distance, etc. Most of the apps I’ve come across for Apple are for exercising. I want something that I can use for reminders to do preventative maintenance. I’ve seen in a few videos on KZbin some rather cool looking apps tracking speed, average speed, distance etc.

[@aliciaantoniadis9100]

Love the way you pronounce it Pat-motot instead of Fat-moto! A Very good watch, thank you very much for this one! The best of luck with your future builds. Sincerely, Alicia Antoniadis from Sweden

[@nunoostephen436]

Way cool 😎

[@danmuffley6418]

Always keep all controls on the handlebars loose enough to just barely to rotate that way if you wreck or the bike falls over they just turn and dont break

[@earlgarcia9824]

Use blue loc tite ,have fun getting that bolt off with red stuff ,you'll have to heat it up with a propane torch to soften the loc tite .

[@st.paulmn9159]

I think there’s a fitment issue with the EZM transmission. The rear sprocket on the EZM is also huge (so you have to use a tensioner most likely meh!). The go cart transmission that piston bike or gas bike sells is just jackshaft. Haven’t seen a cvt idunno wtf to do for a transmission. Grubee won’t have stock for the 5G for a month or two -Oct 19 2020

[@53kenner]

I'd consider replacing that oil drain bolt with a petcock to which I could attach a hose so that future oil changes would be neat.

What you of oil should be used? Regular car oil or 4 stroke?

[@vincentdavidson755]

I always soak my chain with 90 weight gear oil and take A clean cloth to get off any Excess. It will penetrate the Rollers. Never use greese on Chain it will not penetrate the Rollers. If u have a used chain Make Shure u clean it with a Brush and solvent dry it off and Put oil on a cloth and soak your Chain with it and then take another cloth and clean off any Access .this will save your chain And I have been using this trick For over 50 years . Check your chain often and make Shure u Don't have more then half inch Of slack up and down in your Chain that way u save your sprokets from wear to soon👱

[@derekpirie9188]

The build quality of the Phatmoto Rover looks excellent. A solid engine mount, is better than the clamp on plates used on other setups including my 4 stroke, to the fixed countershaft and reinforcement gussets. How about changing the exhaust to a pipe and silencer [ no hot exhaust blowing on your leg ]. I have fitted a 39cc 4 stroke Huaseng to an Avalanche Cruz88. The engine is outboard on the LHS. Busy with changing the sprocket to a 49T from 44T. I live in a hilly area, so need more low down pull over speed and it is a small engine. Will wait for the upgrades. .
