I actually favored the bike you sold. Very nice build. Took mine on the shoulder of the highway. A truck came from behind and the draft tried to suck me under semi tires. Scary shit. Don't ever try it. Warn others. Happy trails.

[@707nicky9]

Okay so I just bought one of these (first time motor bike rider or anything really only ever drove a car lol) idrk how to brake or even start it I was so awkward in front of the guy buying it. He kept walking me thru what to do and I just couldn’t understand it I couldn’t ever understand the clutch in & brake thing. I would just do burnouts trying to stop. I almost crashed into the damn storage facility he was teaching me outside of. Anyway he didn’t really have time to teach me much & I didn’t really get it by the time we parted ways so I just walked the bike home and am still trying to learn how to use this thing lol. He was selling it for 300$ but he took 90$ because he knew I needed it to get around.

[@Psyrecx]

I wide open my throttle and say F the clutch every time I ride. Then again, mines an ebike...So...

[@cletusspucklerstablejeaniu1059]

Till the clutch says, FU, pedal.

[@anunentitledmotivatedmille7731]

I do the same but mines a 2 stroke

[@cephusr2500]

I like #25 reminds me of a bike I had years ago ,they don't climb hills and here in WV that lets me out at 74 !! AI love watching your stuff I've had most of the cars and trucks you work on back in the day and wish I still had them !!

[@jkoeberlein1]

Bah! Trying to sell one of these is way too much of a hassle. You won't be able to get enough money, and first timers have unreasonable expections. These things are labors of love.

[@Luminous.1]

john your right about that . I always offer 10 days free service plus hands on support with every bike sold . This gets you to form a great relationship with your customers plus an up sale on other relative products or services that you may offer .I find a good percentage of my business is repairing bikes that were bought from careless builders . The key to this biz is promotion & to know what your doing and always take care of your customers ....believe it or not i sold 22 bikes last year it can be done...Bro i did it.

[@ebperformance8436]

I just transitioned to only selling e-bikes I sold 15 gas bikes and 4 e-bikes….I never had a problem with the E-bikes and made a good profit on them…the gas bikes is another story’ out of 15 I had 3 dumb asses’ if your selling gas bikes plan on working on broken ones’ due to neglect and stupidity’ No matter how well you build them ppl manage to tear them up…all mine had jack shaft kits and dual lever brakes…red lock tight is used on all hard parts. Some bikes I lost money on…due to my time being used for repairs…I got so tired of it, I started only selling the broken parts only to them’ I had spare carbs,engines, stators, Ignition modules, chains, throttle cables, clutch cables, spare gaskets, and clutch packs.

[@ebperformance8436]

Yeah…first timers think they can just hop on one and do 50mile round trips….and they seemed confused on gas mixers so I gave a chart on it from break in 50:1 ratio down to break in ratio….and they just don’t get it….then instead of pedal assist them they clutch the hell out of them, and we all know what happens when that’s done. I have over 100 spare clutch packs.

[@danmekeel7758]

Your comments about customers sounds right on, you have it right. The customer base your dealing with is totally breast feed through college. Keep up the concepts, your getting better.

[@BigDonkMongo]

Hahahaha what?

[@Tomlightning]

hey bud back again with an update the trouble i was having was not enough spark , as it would spart yet not start defective cdi from factory , just wanted to let you know and have it fixed happy trails Tom

[@patrickmendez6304]

I'd like to get the plans for the number 7 bike .can you keep the derailer system on mountain bikes for both uses?

[@stp479]

Do a bill of sale and exchange of cash before a test ride-learn on your own bike. BTW, nice build!

[@siahmartin2448]

Just put one of these bikes together a Week ago and I finally got used to how the clutch works and now I’m building another one to maybe sell

[@mbrrideitlikeyoustoleit8436]

builders error that the pipe rattle loose you are supposed to go over every bolt & nut and tighten them up during break in. Before selling. After breaking in The engine the bolts and nuts will stay tight.

[@TheWoodyNash]

Salute Thunderhead. I understand your situation. I build and sell these also. Explaining the gas oil ratio is so hard for some riders to grasp. 16:1 is what I use for break in / first two gallons of gas. Then I switch to 32:1. 1,572 miles on my personal presently. When the hardware store only sells 50:1 mix, some people just were not good with fractions and burn up their engine. Then they come see me for repairs. I liked bike #14 best, because you switched the cylinder wall around. I think #25 looked the best.

[@joerolfe7967]

#7 hands down. No offense sir but your incorrect about a few things. 1. You will not burn a clutch by quickly letting it out, in fact slowly riding it is what burns them out. You actually want to drop them somewhat quickly to avoid riding it out. 2. You should be able to open the throttle wide open abruptly, if you have to ease into it that means your engine is poorly tuned. My stock pk80 will allow you to go full wide open throttle instantly without any bog and all I did was a little fine tuning of the carburetor so do yourself a favor and invest in some carburetor jets.

[@s14duma]

beach cruiser with pan seat and low handle bar. nice

[@daytonyowatson3803]

s14duma how much

[@williammackay-murphy1905]

Someone should make a buyers guide illustrating all the misconceptions newbies have

[@duskintheforest584]

Your builds are stunning! They're honest to God motorcycles!

[@marks6663]

If you are in Ontario, buyer beware. These things are illegal. Google gasoline bicycle Ontario. Check your state or provincial laws first. And be thorough. Otherwise you could be looking at a $5000 fine as you are in Ontario.

[@ebperformance8436]

I started selling gas bike again, but I only sell gas cruisers’ because they’re easier to build, and much quicker …I use the CNC hub, and the jack shafts….I look for ones with heavy duty spokes. because I can install them’ without making a Chuck and know the spokes will be ok.

[@cbthethird]

Should use some lock washers or something to hold the exhaust nuts on, man.

[@ThunderHead289]

They were on there originally. Bro.

[@monkeyjuju7441]

Thread locker works way better. None of the lock washers on my bike are resistant to the amount of vibration they receive

[@fishfire_2999]

cbthethird Lock tight w lockwashers and bolts

[@ricksimpson2167]

ThunderHead289 ,,,, what's the brand and the make of this bike,,, ??? I could not understand it clearly or read it on the frame,,, I want one of these I think how much did it cost where did you get it from,,. ???

[@jdubyaadams170]

Rick Simpson looked like a Genises Inex 29". $149 at Wallyworld.

[@customcopy]

U got some really nice builds

[@atf481]

#13 looks like a really clean build

[@josephtaverna8167]

You just got to love the first motor they show truly a great motor

[@MrRedrooster53]

What Types of Bicycles are shown at #25 to #27?

[@databanks]

Hey, any chance of some sources for those photos? The tadpole 'bent looked interesting, as did the quads. Also, nice tips for using the 2stroke motor kits - something they should include in the manuals when shipped (not just how to install them)

[@quadflopper1012]

what's in the galaxy?, i wasn't even watching the video anymore then i heard a motor go bump, overlap gets me sticky......

[@wfrandles]

Build next one with Loctite on the bolts so they don't loosen out. I needed to use it on the bolts on my Harley Davidson tank on my Honda Rebel 250. One of the bolts vibrated out and then snapped.

[@thekingsilverado9004]

+William Randles Willy >at Harley Bee brand bikes we use Nylock NUTS where applicable and we use STEEL head lock nuts where it gets hot.... It costs us dearly in cash but Look for the Harley Bee videos it explains it ain't just locktite like back in your days okay..... Modern teenagers don't just take a condom on dates in these days they take antibiotics and a hand gun... Times have changed sorry for my pun okay it seems foul to me but these bikes with the torque bikes like mine put out Locktite is antiquated okay.... It's obsolete.... THE HARLEY BEE BRAND BIKES BREAK ABOUT 170 FT LBS OF TORQUE... WELL BEYOND CONVENTIONAL SOLUTIONS... Willy you're an old timer... Locktite won't save with one of my bikes... only good construction will save ya..

[@DashzRight]

VERY VERY Useful tips. I think then, using a bigger rear gear would help the motor with the power.

[@alecc4137]

that ford focus sounded so nice in that last clip

[@codythomas4794]

that wasn't the focus

[@kirbyegf]

Cody Thomas no shit.... gullable

[@conner5611]

SOLUTION ONE so does Chevy and dodge

[@fueledbymusic3]

LOL at your story! Yeah, I was actually thinking about "building" a few bikes, then sell them. Make a little money. Figure, buy the beach crusers at Walmart, then the motor kits. $200 total Then I install the kits, get it going. Then sell the bike for $250. Make $50 for each bike! Basically they pay me to install the kit!

[@AndyTrampke]

Thread lock and a proper carb tuning. doesn't sound like it's all the buyers fault.. if it's bogging under a load it's running too rich.. if any bolts or nuts come loose you didn't use thread lock where you should have being a 2 stroke it's going to be shaky no matter what..

[@suzanneszarai]

You have to change gears? I thought these bikes were automatic.

[@Eduardo_Espinoza]

Now I know what to do to stress test a bike I'm about to buy :).

[@JPSimen]

You let the clutch out immediatley. You dont just let it out easy. That will wear the pads out quickly.

[@ebperformance8436]

Yeah…I had recently transitioned to electric bikes…when selling gas bike you have to interview the buyer’ many buyers think you can just hope on one and take 40 mile trips to work’ without doing any maintenance to them’ many Over-rev the engine and clutch it up hills’ because they’re to lazy to pedal assist it uphills’ the clutch isn’t made to do that’ just like a stick shift car..doing that will kill the clutch’ I sold 15 gas bikes, 4 e-bikes and did one conversion…I had issues with 2 of my sells and a issue with a conversion…I include a instruction manual for tear downs’ Incase of flat back tires’ or other issues. The first guy I sold a gas powered cruiser to he knew how to ride it…but he made the mistake of letting his girlfriend ride, and she crashed it into a speed stopper and wall’ the front fork, rim, and back rim was toast’ he paid $350 for it I felt bad for the guy so I only gave him back $150’ he basically paid for the bike’ the guy was honest and cool so I made a exception for him. We actually became friends…and he now has a 4stroke bike and one of my 2 stroke beach cruisers. The 2nd encounter was a conversation I did for a guy’ he kept bringing me bent rims for his old school cruiser’ the bike was old and junk’ he had the bike for 3 weeks and developed a rear flat…he bought it back…and promised to pay me for the work, I told the guy where’s his manual’ he claims he lost it…yeah right’ after repairing the flat…he forgot to pay me my $35 dollars in labor. 1 month later he brings it back with a striped star gear’ old rims are prone to break’ he also burned out the clutch…his bike sits in my garage….I’m not touching it till he pays me $100’ includes the $35 dollars he stiffed me on. 3rd encounter was a guy who was a complete dumb ass….when he tested it he over rev the shit out the motor’ after teaching how to ride…he decides to not use the 2 stroke oil I gave him and use marvel mystery oil…he also took apart the wire harness’ probably did it because the engine wouldn’t start’ he called me ever damn hour with stupid questions…I told him go on KZbin The guy threw the manual away….he calls the next day claiming he blew the head gasket’ that’s very rare on 2 stroke engines’ I sent a picture of the top gasket and bottom, and ask for him to send a picture with the head removed….he didn’t blow a head gasket the engine seized…I sent him the ad saying sold as…To make a long story short…he didn’t get a refund and his number is blocked. No matter how well and professionally you build them…there will always be idiots who shouldn’t ever own a gas bikes…all my bikes included a aftermarket jack shaft kit and dual lever brakes…the electric bikes sold rather quickly…so I will be doing e-bikes and selling accessories, like dash kits, frame covers using molded plastic’ that looks like a Motorcycle’ and rear mud flaps.

[@Freekniggers]

that 289 sounds great

[@ThunderHead289]

Hey thanks! I'm still running it today!

[@KN4YEM]

Big block chevy?

[@codythomas4794]

1. he just called it a 289 2. it sounds nothing like a chevy lol

[@amealnet2495]

When you want to sell take the motor off the bike Rebox all the components and sell it (used) on eBay, then sell the bike on craigslist.

[@RichardGottshall]

What are the engines on number 4 and 7. They are a couple of great looking bikes.

[@carlknight7469]

What engine is on bike 4?

[@johndiver925]

SWEET!! would love to see more about your trike builds.

[@dockmasterted]

i LIKE THE #3 RED BIKE, AND ALL OF THE TRIKE'S! I live in Florida now, and retired, and am looking to buy a motorized bike. I have difficulty in walking and hate the bus system. So the bike will be my only transportation!

[@Suburbanhotrods]

I had a Coleman mini bike which was a pretty big mini bike. I decided to take governor of the motor. I'm a big guy 235lbs and if I full throttled the motor I could get thrown of it. When I was done with I sold to some small kid (I'm 15 btw) he was the same age as me. He bought before riding it thank god. I told him not to full throttle at all but he did not listen. He full throttled and popped a wheelie in the back of his pick up broke his arm and bent the foot rest into the pull start. He blamed that the throttle stuck which was bs. I least I got my $350.

[@schwarzerregen957]

I would like a user's manual Because I'm planing to buy a motorized bike

[@nickledimez4012]

Man this story is funny..good delivery!

[@russellrodrigo7741]

i make all customers sign a liability waiver form, give me full deposit first then i go thru the details of the bike and how to ride, they dont leave my place till they know how to ride. also as a builder i use lock tight and double nut to prevent what you went thru

[@JohnnySkillish]

I'd really like to learn how to build one. Any advice on where to start? Sites, etc...? Also, do you build and ship? What kind of price range do these sell for? I realize it depends. But how much did you sell this one for, if I may ask? Thanks! Great vid! #25 was pretty bad-ass too btw! Peace!

[@ThunderHead289]

+JohnnySkillish if i remember right, i sold this one for 300. they arent "profitable" to sell - take about 6 hours to build right, the kit costs 150. i have several motorized bike vids on my channel, but i have been out of the loop for about 2 years.

[@JohnnySkillish]

Thanks for answering so quickly. Yeah, I'd onlu build it for myself, not to create a business. So although you've moved on, would you be willing to build one for me? If not, what kit would you recommend and which bike for someone with a bum knee? Any help appreciated. Thank you.

[@ThunderHead289]

if you take a peek at my channel, i just got alot going on. im trying to get my 302 powered rx-7 done and sold right now especially. i just got my kits off of ebay, they are now as low as 115 bucks. id recomend any v frame bike that does have shift cables running along the TOP of the upper tube, and that has thumb shifters. the turn shifters for the bike will be in the way.

[@JohnnySkillish]

OK Thunderhead. Good stuff. Thanks for the advice. I'll check out ebay and your vids and others. Good luck with your project.

[@codelicious6590]

Nice looking bike! I love black on black- I've just finished a nice flat black and chrome cruiser I'm trying to sell- I've got no bites yet.

What happened the wrecked rear frame of #13 motorized bicycle? Accident or self-destruction?

[@cymoncyrado2879]

#21 the recumbent trike, looked like it had incredible range.

[@walkerbelle]

Great video and cool bikes my friend. That 289 c.i.d. was sounding pretty mean. I had a 62 Falcon with a 289 with a 3-speed on the floor and that was one mean little Ford to say the least, lol. By the time I sold that Falcon I had turned the odometer over twice and I believe it already had something like 78K on the motor when I pulled it out of the 65' Mustang it was in that had been rolled & damn near crushed to death. Is that a Galaxie 500 or a Fairlane 500? Hell, watch it be a Custom, lol.

[@ThunderHead289]

thanks! it was a custom. it had a 5 speed and 4.11 posi on top of everything else

[@riothero313]

I'm trying so hard to talk my self out of building one of these. I have to many hobbies and so much in the big bike.

[@ThunderHead289]

It was fun when I was a kid, I have no desire to do anything with them anymore

[@edwardnigma5870]

how much do you sell your bikes for

[@chambliziOfficialChannel]

Edward Nigma I sell bikes for $250 basic for trike builds if bike is provided $350-$375 each yelds it's level of quality the more one spends the more thorough it's built, which rolls into disassembling upon receiving said kit, bore inspection, loctite, threaded bolt upgrades etc. What ever can make the sale better is what interest me the most.

[@jaydoesanything7652]

EBay, Amazon, or Wish.

[@keithrice3892]

I just bought one and it's too much work all the bolts do is vibrate out of my motor so I had to buy lock tightening

[@r0bbyinchins]

So you built all of those bikes??? Man they are beautiful... One question be for you..you said you have to pedal up hill more because of the wheel size? I'm having the same problem with my 29 inch Moto bicycle.what are some things I can do to improve the up hill climbing on mine?I had one a while ago with 29,s and the uphill capabilities were much better with the same set up (no after market parts or upgrades on either) I recently moved to the foothills in utide of Denver CO and hills with any gain are impossible to traverse with my bike... Thank you

[@justinchampagne4807]

all recommend just get the Harbor Freight engine cuz it when does show night there's not to go this clutch slips a lot and it just turns out

[@ajsanders5278]

wish I could show a picture

[@brandonkellogg9590]

I want to build one of these, but I've got so many questions. First, are there any particular brands of cruiser bikes that are better than others for a motorized bike? What features do I need to look for in a bike? Are there any brands of engine kits that are better than others? They all look the same...

[@jerryb1234]

These bikes are fun no-matter how old you are.

[@robinbutler7828]

Where did you get the Unix 29 beach cruiser from where did you buy that bike from

What kit was installed on the one you were selling?

[@austen9973]

What the hell happened to 13!!!

[@dr_skipwith]

#13 was by far the best bike.

[@likeabauws]

what's the intro music?

[@SammyDone]

hey friend , need help. i have a motor kit and a beach cruiser. the motor does not fit the traditional way. i have to install it on the rear wheel. what do you recommend to do for this motor; for example do you know of any site that sells rear wheel bracket / mount kits to install this on the rear wheel. or do i have to build one

[@RandyWHorton]

best policy is no test rides!

[@thingsdemystified]

Randy W Horton You'd buy a bike without testing it first?

[@sovereignm3rcy483]

ThingsDemystified cash in hand. Only way to do it. They break it they bought it.

[@thingsdemystified]

SovereignM3RCY Interesting philosophy. You won't get as much interest or money that way. That's why stores allow returns. I would never buy from a place that didn't allow at least a test. Why should the customer trust you?

[@sovereignm3rcy483]

ThingsDemystified not sure what you mean... I've worked retail for years and never allowed returns on used product. Besides that this is a private sale situation. I've bought and sold countless motorcycles and bikes privately that is just how it works if you don't want to risk getting ripped off. Plus this way nobody is wasting your time taking joy rides.

[@thingsdemystified]

SovereignM3RCY I guess that makes sense for a smaller shop. Do you at least allow the customer to test it on the lot to make sure it works?

[@davidfrobel7582]

spokes must take a beating on the rear wheel.

[@russellmabbley1751]

Are petrol push bikes leagle on the road in the UK or not .can u explane please were u can use it leagly

[@RockabillyRambler]

#2 looks interesting, but is there lubrication problems tipping the engine like that?

[@aleksandramakari]

#20 looks nice and the one before it too, but I'm trying to find four stroke cuz quieter and stuff. But the blue one it's nice how it's set up I want one set up that way

[@jamese.morris2891]

What guy has to understand is these engines are high gear power...the rider is the low end power...so a guy has to know that he is first gear and go into the clutch accordingly

Was there anything special you had to do since it was on a 29 in? I debated getting one before I stuck with the 26in I have now, but remembered the kit says for 26-28 in. Wheels. Btw #7 has an almost rocket looking exhaust, real swick.

[@theymusthatetesla3186]

Not being funny, but why don't you just buy a moped?

[@urmomsahoe1]

This is way way way cheaper.

[@theymusthatetesla3186]

Drcool52 Surely you can get a secondhand moped for 3 or 4 hundred dollars, though....and everything's done...lights, engine etc...?

[@StEve-vr2fs]

theymusthatetesla ahh. but insurance, registration, tags, taxes... not done. Cheap moped parts? Good luck with that. Bike parts are common and cheap. The maintenance costs and legal stuff make motorized bicycles cheaper in the long run.

[@urmomsahoe1]

theymusthatetesla plus most states dont require lights or anything but you can buy a flashlight mount and really cheap flashlights off ebay that run off 18650 batteries that you can get from computer stores for free. Old laptop battteries are made of them and most of the time either a few batteries went out and the rest are good or the chip died and all the batteries are still good. in every way motorized bikes are better besides maybe having to mix oil and gas.

[@maliki14]

theymusthatetesla built, not bought.

[@Gnsmth91]

What brake did you use on the front wheel?

[@Spanky8402]

I liked all the fat tire ones. at 1st I thought the fat tire bikes looked goofy but in person they are nice and the ride is way more smoother. I liked the number 11 one. do you make and sell these motor bikes? I would love to have one. I did have a motorcycle at one time but had to sell it. I do have a cy endorcement so I am not a noob. lol.

[@MrHighpressure]

I am wondering what you live in . the reason I ask most n.e. states have 3 things[some states more] for a motorized bike. 50cc or less,,,,,,,,,,top speed 30 mph,,,,,,,,, automatic trans. the last one wipes out a lot of these kits from being road legal. if these bikes were automatic you would probably run not this problem

[@EdOfTheNorth]

I think that the key phrase here is "motor assisted 'BICYCLE'", not motorized bike. Everything starts with understanding the name. lol. Love those fat tires too. What a difference compared to the skinny ones.

[@wildhobo7720]

EdOfTheNorth Wrong if you build it right you will never have to pedal.

[@EdOfTheNorth]

WIld Hobo True enough but when you run out of fuel, you can still pedal it home.

[@wildhobo7720]

LOL that's right.
