Is that a regular motor bike throttle hook to the predator, or you have to get different throttle? And is your gas line bigger?

[@jonathanvaldez2460]

Yes. I would like torque converters for even smaller engine. Imagine a 2 stroke 33cc or 71cc engine with a new 2 speed auto gearbox.

[@BuildBreakFix]

I have a cvt on my 78.5cc. whole process how you can double key a motor shaft as well on there! for the 5/8 to 3/4 conversion

[@iceyaj3167]

i though about that idea on another bike i like to build. the 212 makes good power but its way too heavy and bulky. can't even take anywhere. a 79cc would be a ideal.

[@GalenEppley]

That's what I was thinking but it's only a hair over 10 lb difference and it's more than double the torque 🤔🤔

[@joshanderson1019]

I did this with my 22 phatmoto rover, but with heavy head work, billet flywheel, .265 hot cam, and a 22mm mikuni carb. Don't build the engine this much, the front wheel wont stay down no matter what under more than 1/4 throttle. It jumps off the line like a dirt bike and pulls all the way to 70mph. I love the way it rides, and still gets 55mpg even when I ride it hard. I wouldn't use this big of a cam again because it is too much torque for daily riding.

[@N9197U]

55 mpg sounds really low, do you lose that much mpg with the bigger engine? I have a 49cc and get about 100 mpg.

[@joshanderson1019]

@@N9197U well, if you think about it, a 212cc engine that makes 16hp, yes its gonna use more fuel than a 49cc that makes 2hp, technically its more efficernt because its 8x more power and only 2x the fuel consumption... also note that my bike has wide tires, double the weight of a regular bike, and I am not easy on the throttle, my average speed is 45mph and top speed is around 75mph.

[@davidparker2173]

Got me a 212, and a diamond frame. Gotta figure out how to get the extra wide pedals on it, and what the most solid wheel to sprocket connection I can have is. I would like to end up with 9 speeds out back, and 2 in the front, or a one speed with a small sprocket in front, and a 9 speed out back. I wanna torque my ride out so I can haul real heavy stuff like an extra large dog, and construction material.

[@netx421]

Hey man you got any footy of the engine mount or drivetrain? After seeing this I stopped my other 2 stroke project and decided that this is the way to move me around.

[@iceyaj3167]

I don't have any footage on the drivetrian. The drivetrain is a cvt torque converter similar to those use on go-karts. The difference is the driven output shaft had a 415 sprocket on the end of the shaft which drives the chain. This particular cvt torque converter is call the "death row" transmission. You can find them on ebay. For the engine mount it's nothing but a 10 gauge steel plate welded onto the frame. Then the 212 mounts on top of it. The seat tube has to be remove. Trial and error. But the effort wasn't in vain. Time spent was well worth it. Basically it's a motorcycle with pedals. Thanks for watching and good luck

Not sure if you still have it, but how long does a belt last on the torque converter?

[@iceyaj3167]

i can't really say because i don't really drive it as often. in my case i have a lot of stop and go traffic and see the wear and tear on the belt. im on my second belt. your situation may very. if you are going this route just bring you another belt along your trip. you don't wanna break down in the middle of no where without a belt. good luck and ride safe.

[@MaverickGuitarWizard]

I am waiting on my torque converter and I have my motor installed on a beach cruiser but the motor is lined up dead center with the bike and im concerned the drive sprocket is going to be too far off to the side to line up with my rear sprocket. Any suggestions?

[@iceyaj3167]

If your bike has an installation kit design for the 212 with the cvt torque converter than everything should line up right. if not, i suggest you wait until you install the torque converter onto the engine than reinstall the whole thing onto the bike then go from there. that way you have some where to go by and make any changes and adjustment on your drive chain. i hope this helps and good luck on your build.

[@mbrrideitlikeyoustoleit8436]

What gears you running I’m running 10t/56t 212cc need bigger sprocket with tc I’m doing 65mph + with predator just governor, delete 18 pound springs and billet flywheel and straight pipe with VM 22 carburetor. Are used to run a 10 to 4twos on Mike to 12 but I was informed to try a bigger sprocket and it I was a big difference.

[@iceyaj3167]

It doesn't have any gears. I run what ever the CVT torque converter comes with. But I do run a 36 tooth rear sprocket topping out at 47mph with the governor still intact. Everything on the engine is stock from the factory but expect the exhaust. I don't think I want to go that fast especially on a bicycle frame. I feel much safe cruising below 40. Drive safe and thanks for watching!

[@mbrrideitlikeyoustoleit8436]

I’m also using a torque converter it has a 10t gear. What I was saying is the torque converter with a 212cc like the bigger sprocket in the rear try a 56t on the rear. You’re engine will run better and will be a lot faster. Than with the 36t it’s totally different then a 2stroke that like the smaller sprocket like the 36t

[@iceyaj3167]

@@mbrrideitlikeyoustoleit8436 from my experience the larger your rear sprocket the more torque at the pickup speed but will decrease top speed. The smaller the rear sprocket the more speed you'll gain but decrease low end torque.

[@mbrrideitlikeyoustoleit8436]

You are a 💯right with a 2stroke you want a small sprocket for more top speed. I thought the same thing someone told me to try a 56t with my 212cc and I thought he was crazy but he was 💯right I’m going 60mph with a 56t rear sprocket and could go faster but don’t have the balls. I used to run a 40t on the rear with my 212cc. Hey cool bike either way. But try the big sprocket you will be very impressed.

i don't know how much it'll burn to a tank of gas but what i do know it only burns about 1/4 of gas @ 17 mile trip with a 32t rear sprocket. i don't drive it long enough to know the actual fuel milage. there's no modification done on the engine, still have the factory air filter box. only thing i done on the engine i had the muffler removed and ran a straight pipe. thanks for watching!!!!

[@hellknight003]

Little late, but w/e That bike will not work with predator 212 unless you modify the frame or get the small head from bikeberry/gasbike etc. . Better option for you will be a 80cc 4 stroke kit (it's plenty). As for the gears, you can still use them since they don't get in the way of the sprocket connected to the transmission. You can even add a shift kit that you can use with your 7-speed but it's a little bit more involved so I don't recommend it for newbies.

Get a "jackshaft". Its just a small sprocket that attaches to ur normal drive sprocket by a short chain and has another sprocket on the side with ur original bike sprockets and u can run a chain from that side of the jackshaft to ur original sprocket with gears but id suggest getting an upgraded chain and gears cuz that engine is way more powerful than what its made for

At this point why don't you just buy a motorcycle? I don't know what state you're in but in my state you don't have to insure a motorcycle. So get yourself a small displacement bike, which will be dirt cheap because everybody wants big displacement. And ride a real motorcycle. It's going to be safer in every way possible. You're going to have more tire more brake and if you want it more speed for sure
