Phatmoto Rover engine swap 98cc

[@richfletcher4286]

Jon needs his own bike. Then, you guys could road-trip them like you did the mini bikes. Dare you to ride them to West Virginia. Double dare!

[@KhrisTaylor-qb1en]

Dude I just f****** bought the 98 CC today to put on my fat motor thank you so much for your video it was very informing

[@carcomp101]

Its nice to see you two still doing things like this after all this time.

[@woosah96]

yea it is but think about what they coulve done seperatly. no hate u just will never know

[@woosah96]

ive been watching them for years best minibike channel out there

[@jonass9]

The best duo in KZbin. You guys have a great relationship and it shows, keep up the great work guys!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

I put a $29 Spring loaded Seat Post on my mt. bike and it made a world of difference.No roads without potholes in Michigan. Those Phatmoto's are pretty popular with the 'Motorized Bike' community.

[@deandee8082]

yz125 built..... only way to go, she'll do 80

[@tjnucnuc]

The Phatmoto IS a motorized bicycle. That’s how they come from the factory. That’s why the pull start cover matches and the bike has an engine plate.

[@TylerDuysen]

i have a 100cc 2 stroke motorized bike engine that i had on my mountain bike but had to take it off it literally destroyed the bike it was too powerful it destroyed so many tires by breaking the hub/bearing from all the tq and vibration plus high speeds i had too many issues from how much power it made i really want a tricycle bike to put it on although it would work well on a shifter kart chassis loved the video ike

[@dennisgiannini1248]

This is a very good video tutorial on motorized bicycles. The 98cc 4 stroke engine is the appropriate weight, size and power for motorizing a bicycle, and wow when fitted with the appropriate torque converter the stock engine performance is increased without compromising safety and reliability. Thank you. I appreciate you and your colleague taking time away from your usual content to demonstrate the thrill and satisfaction of riding and working on motorized bicycles.

[@theothertonydutch]

Anything over 50cc requires a motorcycle license in the netherlands. And you would very likely not get approval for motorized phatbike/beachcruisers. Motorized vehicles with the exception of limited to 25 km/h e-bikes lso requires a license.

[@Saddletramp1200]

Howdy. I am gonna buy a 24 model tomorrow. Been wanting one for years. 799.00 I can do. Been riding a Schwinn w/ 79cc 4 stroke. I bought an Opal GT off the showroom floor. Loved that little car.

[@honorrolls5415]

I don’t think there is nothing Issac can’t improve on. Fun video thanks Issac

[@kaptainkmann7808]

get yourselves a cloud 9 seat for that thing you'll love it. spring cushion and thick padding, almost a cruiser style just smaller. I've got one on a electric fat tire mountain bike and love it.

[@brantmcfarland517]

Nice. Looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@JamesBurr-vk7kh]

I have been building this motorbikes for a couple years now, they are so fun ...my rabbit hole build is a 2 stroke 70 cc vertical mineralli (Yamaha jog), smolic performance head, an expansion chamber off Kx 85..... Fun video.....disc brakes are a must 😂

[@twocvbloke]

It's always a struggle when the belt doesn't fit, all them extra beans just got in the way... :P

[@atheplummer]

I didn't even know putting an engine on a bicycle was a thing. My daughters quit riding their 12 speed Wal-Mart bikes years ago & I had a thought to put a chainsaw engine on one of them, just for giggles. Then I find that there is quite a market for kits for bikes, then Phatmoto takes that to a whole new level. These things are really cool... So cool, it gives me an idea.... Make a 1/4 scale Harley Davidson V twin engine for one of these things...

[@jamesbigham9036]

Isaac that definitely is a fast bike with the new motor.

[@jmrides777]

Awesome job bud! I think once you get the correct belt size, and I little practice taking corners on the Grand Prix. I really think she can be in the top five on the Grand Prix list. In fact I would put my money on it......

[@brwed]

oh dude i just got into motorized bikes i didnt even know you had your own channel nice!

[@michaelmays9292]

John is becoming the quickest on the stuff you guys build

That bike is cool, it's basically just like the first motorcycles.👌

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Issac :) & John :) very good information and super rides both did to ! Also nice exhaust on to and very good on updates on motor differences!

[@Waxxumus]

That was a wonderful little ride. Its nice when stuff works.

[@tkskagen]

When are we going to obtain some "inight" of the Opal/Miata build that we all see in the background?

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

You too!!

[@davez4172]

I built a couple of wizzer (wheezer?!) bikes with my Son when he was younger. Even after break-in, the little two-stroke couldn't carry me up the hill I live on without pedaling. I imagine that your phatmoto would have no trouble. I have my doubts about it being street legal without registering it as a motorcycle/scooter. It looks fun!

[@presleyfleckmotorizedbikef4285]

If you like the 98 cc motor you will absolutely love the 212 predator or 212 CC you put on

[@mikesbarn1858]

Everyone needs one of those. I’m going to have AGK build a 79 cc upgraded to a perfomanced 105 cc.

[@theclampitt6577]

I would say it would look really cool with the old-school banana seat

[@miguel360kmc]

It's the 2019 model. 2020 model is when they switch to disc brakes front and back. Way way better stopping power especially when you mount a set of trp hy/rd that are a all in one caliber that are hydraulic works with the cables massive improvement but run you around $100 each. Work with stock cables and levers but some jag wire cables with some Shimano rotors and levers it's prefect! Magora would be better of course but way more expensive.

[@Robert-ni6ut]

For 98cc this thing got some grunt might want to add rear brakes though great build Ike 👏

[@tswinter1]

Sounded like it had a limiter on the throttle linkage !

[@Snugglez187]

They all come with a governor from the factory. It's easy to remove, if you want to risk engine longevity and blowing up your flywheel. 🤷‍♂️

[@tswinter1]

Flywheel really ! These engines are direct replacements for lawnmowers, generators, water pumps etc. which run at a set rpm..removing the limiter opens up the real potential of the engines and with quality oil will give you many smiles per mile ! 😄

[@niteshades_promise]

​@@Snugglez187 4 years governor bypasssed. 1000s of miles. i ride 50 miles a day. zero engine problems. 🍻

[@PuckFNT]

We squeeze some insane performance from motorized bicycles on the FB groups (Zeda Mafia, RDM, Smolik Performance, etc)- in fact, there is a actually a Phatmoto spec class this year at AVS on April 12-13 and Phatmoto is bringing bikes available for rental.

[@becksbikes5875]

Hey puck love your videos how is the big evo build going heard something about a turbo maybe im wrong

[@PuckFNT]

@@becksbikes5875 Been caught up with race prep and helping people out to work on my builds but Im finally caught up and should have updates of a few projects that I'm working on soon!

[@samuelmcgill-rl3lb]

Isaac, personally I would prefer a Chinese engine, not because its Chinese, but because they come with electric start . happy trails.

[@S15GYPSY128]

Very cool Isaac I've gotta stop lagging and build me one

[@curby01]

I bought one of those engines for $40 and replaced the 105cc that came on my mini bike. It did the job until I got a 212 it is a decent little engine for it being a 98cc

[@WireWheelRebuilds]

Been a fan for a long time enough to call you a buddy 😂. Keep up the hard work man.

[@theLyzhendricks]

I do have one of these motors on my mini bike and it runs good

[@rachalhollier5679]

AGK makes an intake and exhaust pipe for the 98cc. The intake is an angle intake and I think it’s for a vm20 carburetor,I could be wrong. Nice build.

[@miguel360kmc]

Gps has the mounting plate you need for the motor. The bb80 mega moto mini bike plate. It let me bolt on a p79 motor that I maxed out that 98 should also bolt right up.

[@miguel360kmc]

Wait I did have to mod the plate I forgot. I added a 2nd mounting point with some adjustable bolt holes

[@docholiday6944]

Great vid Ike!! Be safe and drive careless. 😜 👊✌️❤️🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🫡🙏🏼

[@jurisvzauls2263]

This is brilliant! I was thinking about putting the 79cc predator if I can get better valve springs, remove governor and Mikuni copy carb, just dont know what fits. Thanks for all to Go Kart Porn btw!

[@deandee8082]

you want a good full adjustable suspension with lockout . . . then get paddle wheel for the rear and sand tire for the front, go hit the dunes, ITS A HOOT!!!! yz125 with trans paddle shift w/ auto blip and quickshift... 26" braced mountain bike, (alloy) you need to modify the rear swingarm to accommodate a larger (wider) tire and larger brake rotor/caliper setup (brembo w/ radial master) .. with 6 gears tight you can hit 70, only real place to do this IS in the sand, don't risk it anywhere else! the sand can be very fun specially with some have flat top dunes, oh boy! why you want a good heavy adjustable suspension dial it in for sweet jumps at 60-mph oh yea 100ft EASY.. but you need bigger or wider tires or the landing you just stick like mud and end up flying over the bars... use a 4.5" paddle tire in the rear then if you always land rear tire first you're golden!!! its a FUGGEN HOOT!!! I did all the crash test dummy stuff for ya... decent suspension with lock out set up for sand sprung for YOUR weight, widen rear swinger for a at least a 4" paddle tire... that means a custom rim but so easy .. launch and bring front up and land on rear and its good to go, with skinny front if you bring it down too early it will sink in the sand if its deep and loose but no biggie cuz that's why you're in the sand, nothing gets hurt....

[@bgd73]

clever build, I am in that weird realm of dual sport with an ebike at 1500w. it does 38mph. Ponder there as been 100cc dual sport street legal bikes for many decades...they simply have direct gear transmissions.

[@steveskouson9620]

Isaac, I found that replacing the carb with one off of a 2 stroke bike motor, REALLY imprves the speed. (My 79CC bike)

[@niteshades_promise]

awesome job. i really want to upgrade mine to the torque converter. this engine size was also on my wish list. not sure which converter to buy.🍻

[@chriswages6474]

[@ogremgtow990]

Would live to know the parts you used for the CVT on the Phatmoto ?

[@theone2be33]

The thing with those little CC motors is, they get better the more and more and more and more and more you use them

[@koopsta69]

i did the same on mine / that 98cc engine accepts all 79cc parts like the metal cam n billet flywheel n carbs n exhaust .fit it .. i put a 19mm amazon slide carb n no gov n i get about 55 ... also it takes 212 pred valve covers n rockers n springs

You guys could revisit doing the four-wheel drive go kart with four of these motors!!!

[@dorfsteen]

That belt will work if you take the bolts off let the motor be loose put the belt on and then put the motor back in and lock it down. I'm a coach mechanic lol. Seriously I am a mechanic and you can see that that would work.

make sure you go and get that yellow bus running , when was it started last just a thought and a 212 motor in the future good viedo

[@Maybe1Someday]

More then speed around a track (thats mainly the drivers ability) Id want to know the top speeed of the old engine was compared to the new

[@stubby7934]

Not that you're looking to upgrade again, but if you have 13" between that base plate and the top tank/bar, a GC160/190 (or even 135) would go well...only 25lbs for the 135/160. Plenty of cheap used ones around off of dead pressure washers.

[@jamesmurray9668]

Ike! Get a briggs LO206 engine. Way smaller packaging and double the displacement.

[@shanewright6958]

Can you give more details on how you mounted the engine

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

All I did was center the engine up in the frame and drilled some new holes. They were in line with the old mounting holes I believe not 100% sure

[@coinslotsandjoysticks2572]

Unhook the governor and it will open up all the way and go much faster. And it will pull up the front tire when you gun it on takeoff

The yellow motor looks an awful lot like my unused Baja db30 Doodlebug 97cc vertical engine, even has the same rectangular safety cage around the muffler. I'm going to use it in my old CC Schwinn with 5/8 bore 40 chain clutch & my old Coleman all-left-sided jackshaft transmission and a big 60 tooth rear (since it only makes IDK 3 hp and the 4 inch wide rear tire is 20" tall)

[@gradybrowning3976]

Yes Sir

[@brandonwaterworth8339]

What are the sprocket sizes? I'm putting together a parts list for a 2.5 hp Briggs on an old Schwinn cruiser. I've been calculating different sprocket ratios (from dead start to top speed) and rpms (under load to moving momentum). I'm thinking a larger wheel sprocket will help reduce load on the torque converter, allowing it to engage quickly. But im trying to balance torque and speed. A smaller rear sprocket will give me higher top speed in theory, but not if the small engine can't muster up the rpm's to get the torque converter up to speed to at least a 1:1 ratio at the converter. I'm thinking nothing smaller than a 46T (with a 10T at the torque converter).

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

When you mounted the motor did you use the plate I think in the video it looks like you didn’t use the plate and you used the kind of screws that mounted the plate to the motor but I would imagine that you would have gotten longer bolts I’m about to go to the hardware store and I need to drill some holes and mount my engine, I have to use the plate unless I can figure out the size bolts that I need to mount it without the plate, can you please let me know if you used longer bolts and mounted the engine to the frame without the plate and yeah what size bolts did you use?????

[@isaacitllbefine7231]

I definitely used longer bolts going through the old plate with some new holes drilled. Sorry I can't remember the size I used

[@zaintaylor2358]

I got some that were perfect, I drilled some holes through a set of torque converter risers from Amazon, and I think I want to look into a torque converter or maybe a 3 disc clutch or something like that next, I also have been watching a lot of videos on your channel and I want to do some upgrades to this baby like you guys are always doing on the cars and cameras channel with those mini bikes, haha.
