Would you make on and go on a race with me? Let me know below👇. Frequently asked questions: Link to amazon prime bike kit in description. (This one since the video has been running the longest) Check your local laws for the gas bikes, Generally speaking you don’t need to register, or have insurance and a lot of times you don’t even need a drivers license. They get 100 miles a gallon. And you learn a lot about engines. I’ve gotten my bike to go over 40 mph. Fun stuff.

One guy in our neighborhood, fifty years ago and more, would motorize almost anything with wheels. Centrifugal clutches on some of his assemblies were an afterthought. Direct drive was often the way to go. He got ahold of an old go kart frame and grafted a West Bend chainsaw motor onto the back of it. It went 60 mph and you could hear him zipping down the access road that ran parallel to the brand new Route 1 bypass that bisected Langhorne, Pennsylvania. It's a wonder that he and his contemporaries weren't seriously injured in their pursuits.

I built my first motorcycle in 1958. When I was in the eight grade. I used a Columbia heavy weight bike and an 8 HP lawn mower motor. Mounted the motor on the luggage rack behind the seat. A Jack & Hintz pulleys and clutch under the seat. There are some hills around here. I kept up with the Whizzers on the level roads. :-) They didn't keep up with me on the hills. :-) I even passed cars and semi-trucks. We didn't have a garage. I kept it in an old pony trailer. I sold it when I joined the Air Force in 1962. :-(

FLASH UNLOKR sometimes larger sprockets on the crank will make it a bitch to peddle, if you can try your smallest drive gear with largest rear gear, it’s usually easiest to peddle, I just leave it that way, even removed the front Derailer and rarely bother switching rear gears. I think it’s just a matter of your gearing possibly. Good luck!

I just ran across this by accident, I bought a couple engine kits to set up a friend who's wheelchair bound, with power to go in the woods on my place, in NC, one four cycle, one two, and have been looking at builds, while building a differential for tracks, and I think your idea of "coast to coast" is the best, I've done it twenty or thirty times in my life, in cars, on motorcycles, on trains, planes, and have been looking at the possibility of bicycle, sometime. If you do, aim for North Carolina, you'll enjoy it more, and more affordable. I was real impressed with your plan, and it's outcome, I've been building engines, motorcycles, cars, tractors, for fifty years, but you really have some style there, and make sure "Big Daddy Rat" makes it in the end, you can't let that name down.

Im in NorCal and already have a Motorized bike, So down to race bro, I'd be cheating as my bike goes 45mph, Benefits of being a Motorcycle builder tuner racer, Those eBay motors can easily hit 35/40 mph with the right carb needles and pipes. Also, lose the stock carb and buy a 20 dollar Mikuni carb will boost the torque and top end, the stock carbs are junk and so restrictive. Basically 50 dollars on top of the stock motor you can get 35 to 40 mph out of the Lil buggers!

We used REO, Tecumseh, Clinton and Briggs & Stratton pull-start motors back in the day of 30w oil and .15 cents/gal gasoline. They were a little bit bigger, heavier engines than what you fellas used, but I still have three motorcycles I'm working on in the garage right now LOL... ;-)

I've built several of these bikes for 40 mile round trips . I have watched many of 2 stroke vids . This is definitely one of the coolest ones out there . These bikes take you back 100 years in time . It's PURE fun !!!!! You should do this annually . In my opinion the Pk 80 from Bicycle Motorworks is the smoothest that I've tried . With a 36 tooth rear sprocket I got 40 mph on flat ground . ( Wouldn't be good for hills ) . Really Good Job !!!

Kits are easy to build and take your time to find the correct bike. Total cost is well worth it and your film woke up the smile in many people. That's start a world wide trend of cool motorized bike films. May even up load a norway edition tour d norway. Cool to think that people could do tour d oz.....tour d inda......tour d England.

Not sure if you still own old greenie, but protip: add a dirt bike muffler. That pipe is designed to account for muffler backpressure and works optimally with one as a result! If you get a performance dirt bike muffler for a 125cc itll sound amazing, seriously!

Safety gear, please. You ain't have more than one body. I've been on this motorized bicycle since 12yrs old and learned by my body that this thing is highly dangerous stuff even compare to the motorcycle. Lack of braking power(disc brake is not enough.), relatively high center of gravity, not enough grip. Etc. It is mandatory to wear safety gear like a full-face helmet, back protector. Trust me, I've been through a lot of accidents from motorized bicycle and motorcycle.
