My New Stunt Moped Build Is Insane!

About time I finished up this build and got this video uploaded! In this video I take my moped from a frame and an engine, to a fully assembled moped ripper! As you can tell, a Moped project is truly never finished, so of course we still have some more work to do to dial this thing in perfectly!

[@davessparetime83]

The welder, use more heat and slow down the wire feed a little. Yopu need more penatration in the welds. The weld should look more dished than the raised bead. Get a Magnesium plate (Sparks) for the wheelie dragging. You want more RPM then increase rear sprocket size.

well if you want more power a inner rotor ignition would help alot, trust me im danish. not that there is not more then that you could do, but its a good starting point (other ting you should/could adjust are: the Needell and jets, the ports in the cylinder, get the right squish, flow optimizing the block, stuff like that you know😁)

Treats wicked curve is probably a better alternative to HPI especially given it uses the Parmakit box (more "practical" timing curve), and you can run DC power with the regulator they provide.

double check your timing and spray down for air leaks. 16x44 with a treats reed, proma and powerdynamo should be HITTING hard at like 4k. Sounds a little lean to me. What temps are you hitting?

[@domcxz8643]

Your channel is a banger. I built myself a motorized bicycle because of you. Thanks bro ❤

[@TwoStrokeJ]

Thanks for the praise man! All love, hope you are enjoying that bike!

[@pllepolle8162]

a suggestion to the power problem, based on my own experience, would be the gaskets leaving the piston too far from the cylinder head at TDC, sometimes the gaskets they send you are ironically too fat, the exhaust you have could also create a weird powerloss, due to it being a large exhaust on a bike with a crank and port setup for low-mid range power, definitely check for air leaks at the reed valve, the gaskets there are annoyingly often not good for the puch tuning parts, the channel "Puch Praxis" is german but has extremely many videos (with English subtitles) that are super valuable to anyone who wants a maxi 1 or 2 speed that can rock 50mph reliably. personally I've had a few maxis and other old mopeds, the best results I've seen on a maxi was 65cc polini mixed with a swiing cigar exhaust, 15mm carburetor and some offbrand electronic ignition, ran 45mph on a dyno with 6.5hp

Hey when your spray painting spray off the side of object then walk the sprayer to the object your working on and keep walking it until your off the object and then stop spraying. This will help you get less dripping and runs. Also those welds are realy good just keep practicing you will get very good at it also whatch videos on welding it will help.

Nice restoration👌🏻 Always nice to see old mopeds being restored instead of just destroyed👍🏻 I don’t really like the overall look of the bike with that seat and the modern lights, I like it more old school, I guess mopeds isn’t looked at the same in the US as in Europe though… But I’m not hating, it’s your bike and if you like it it’s a job well done👌🏻 And I understand that it’s a stunt bike and built for that and not for the looks😅 Everyone should do their build the way they like it👍🏻 I hope you’ll get the clutch and rpm problem sorted out soon and that thing will be so much faster!

Check the timing. Might just be the spark occuring at the wrong time? Might aswell be a carb issue. If you run it WOT you should see the temp rising if timing/jetting is wrong. Good work with the moped so far and good luck sorting out the RPM limiting problem

After seeing where your at with it. Add heavier ball bearings to the clutch they should travel farther allowing you into the 60mph range

[@axelnielsen6424]

The problem with the RPM's is 100% your clutch. The clutch wont engage properly because it is way too tight/hard. So put in some lighter springs. And then adjust them. If this doesnt work then try to buy a 3 armed clutch. I had the same problem as you and then i did this and now it is working very well :)

I myself have a puch maxi, all original and it hits about 30mph. and you have a 70cc, yours can go much faster if you tune it right 👍i think you can make it!

[@OLDSCHOOL-MOTO]

its not all original i think: 50cc 12mm carb 12 in front and 45 in back

[@Hyrax_Matoi]

It seems you have a Proma CC 25mm exhaust. E50 70cc kit engines tend to run better on 28mm pipes. I would suggest trying a Homoet p6, or a Technigas Next. These exhausts pull a little slower, but tend to have higher RPM's. Might want to play with your gearing aswell. Hope this info helps you! Love your vids on the Maxi.

hey man, you got the proma cc exhaust on this bike, its a good exhaust for 50-65cc but not for your 70cc kit. The proma exhaust is only good for mid rpm power but not for high, and your cylinder is more for high rpm made. put a homoet p6 exhaust or something like this on it.
