The Hyper does seem to be a good bike to motorize..😎 They are comfortable to ride.

That's a good idea to put your 4 stroke on a different bike, it would give you a variety to choose from, some days you might want to zip around & other times you might just want to cruise on the 4 stroke.👍🚴‍♂

@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes exactly love the new videos your putting out! They are strait to the point and are well explained

I found the Kent ridgeland frame is ideal for the 4 strokes.

I'll have to look into a Kent Ridgeland, I've built a Kent Seachange & Kent Bayside but never seen or even heard of a Ridgeland 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀I've always used a Hyper bike for the 4-stroke builds 🚴‍♂🚴‍♂

This is a great idea 👍👍.. I never thought of doing it that way..I personally use a frame mounted spring tensioner, I prefer that style over the engine mounted ones. I have one on my orange 2-stroke bike & have never had any problems after years of riding it, I've got one for the 4-stroke bike & I'm going to get it on there real soon.. I do love your idea though, especially for a 2-stroke bike where it's really pulling on the bottom side of the chain when you first pop the clutch to get it started.🚴‍♂🚴‍♂

@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes The idea just sort happened... I put the arch tensioner on, then I realized "I have this other pulley wheel, and there's room for it on top of the chain, so why not??" 🙂 Then I realized: the less play in the top part of the chain means the less potential play in the bottom part, and so also the less "hopping around" of slack in the chain overall. You could also put the top pulley even tighter on the chain so that there's always a little extra tension on it, then when you accelerate there's less delay of power transfer when you give it throttle, because the chain will be more taught already. I, personally, haven't experimented with this, because for me it's not important to have quick "racing response"... I just leisurely cruise around.... and I also don't want to put extra wear and tear on the pulleys.... But you could use two pulleys with an arch tensioner to give a tighter response!

🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

The 4-strokes will way out last the 2-strokes. No adjusting whatsoever other than the idol when you break it in & then you'll probably never need to touch it again. Other than an oil change and an occasional air filter cleaning there really is no maintenance to do to these. You will have to get used to the clutch, they are different than the 2-strokes, they are quite jerky in the beginning during break in time, so take it easy on it when you're taking off, ease into the throttle while you're pedaling. Other than that, you will be way happier with a 4-stroke set up once you get used to it.. 👍👍

Thanks again man, i have used and repaired small engines for a lifetime, in one shaoe or another. Glad to hear that these engines are the same. Thanks Dude. All th best.@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes

👍👍🚴‍♂🚴‍♂

What can I say.. Some people like the 2- stroke engines & some like the 4- stroke engines..🚴‍♂🚴‍♂

Man i had nothing but trouble out of the 2 stroke kits couldnt seem to get them to run reliably no matter what i did and i have almost 2000 miles on the four stroke kit with minimal issues and general maintenance

The two strokes last a year if ride them all the time

Thanks for the friendly advice..👍👍 I have always greased the rear hub bearings; I knew they were getting ready to work way harder than just being pedaled around the neighborhood. I personally suggest using a grease needle, it makes doing so way easier.. 🚴‍♂🚴‍♂

I don't want to tell you incorrectly, so I'll share the video with the company name in the video.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qL9yZJmkkrauhHU.htmlsi=x4tJ44Rs38m-BqMN

You can get these kits from E-Bay or Amazon 🚴‍♂🚴‍♂

Once again I agree.. 👍👍I am not a big fan of that rag joint that comes it the kits.

No problems what so ever.. 👍Your idea should work just fine.. 🚴‍♂🚴‍♂

@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes Excellent! Thank you!

@@joeypriolo 🙏

Bicycle-Engines.com As I understand it there are only two sizes of Hubs, European & American the European style doesn't require this hub adapter.

You need the crank extender shaft with the bearing kit, you can get it at Gasbikes.com if you don't see it on their site just call them they will understand what it is you need.. 👍

The reason why asking I might purchase a four stroke very nice bike, but the only problem the seller saying is it doesn’t wanna line up. Do you think they have it wrong?

@@motorizedbicyclerider5296 It definitely sounds like that's what's going on here, probably the only thing that needs to be done here would be to adjust the engine mounting bracket, the 4-stroke kits have different adjustments on the mounting plate to help line them up, you should be able to scoot the engine from right to left to fix that problem & be just fine.. Also sometimes you may have to flip over the rear sprocket to get that little extra that helps line up the drive chain too.. How I personaly do it is put the pedal side chain on & make sure it's how it needs to be then adjust the rest as you're building it to make sure the engine drive chain fits in line with it's sprocket.. Then you should be off & riding.. 🚴‍♂🚴‍♂

I took a file to the crank and made a new slot for the chain ring and made mine lineup

@@paul753 If you're out of adjustment that's one way to get the adjustment that you need.. I'll bet that was a lot of filing time.. 😲😲

BTW this video is really informative! Thank you!

You'll need a 1 1/2 in. adapter, that's the size that fits bikes with a coaster brake hub. Also when ordering it find out if you need to purchase the sprocket too, or will that adapter fit the stock sprocket that comes with your kit.. If I were you I'd purchase the sprocket too, it has a big center hole & you won't have to do the machine work to make the stock sprocket fit over the bearings grease & dust cap.. 👍👍

@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes awesome! Thanks for the info!

I feel your frustration. I don't know what brand or manufacturer you got yours from but some of them aren't machined the best & you really have to tighten them down. Sometimes roughing up the inside of the adapter with a rough grit sandpaper helps to give it more grip.. You said you still have a little gap on both sides where it comes together so that tells me it didn't completely close before clamping down on the hub.. You might even have to grind a bit on the flat ends where it comes together to give it a little more squeezing room..

Here's a little video I did about a year ago that may help with you hub mount.. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNyVdLSpp9izeac.html

I don't sell them.. I get them from a guy on E-Bay.. T.K.O Moto

I agree with what you're saying..👍This video is just for the basic build, I'll initially build it standard & take one test ride for a about a mile or so, then I'll bring it back & put on the frame mounted spring idler pulley chain tensioner. I personally do it this way so that when I put the spring tensioner on it the chain has had a little run time to relax & I won't have to move it or readjust it, as the spring tensioner is usually my final step. I choose the frame mounted tensioner because you're right these 4-stroke clutches have that chain jumping like crazy & I discovered the frame mounted tensioners take out 90% of all that chain jumping & helps it run a lot smoother.. I did a video about this not long ago with the before & after effects, the real key to it working the best was putting a stronger spring on the tensioner. Feel free to check it out if you like & if it helps you out with you're chain then that's what this is all about.. 👍

@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes thank you. Super informative. I just eliminated my tensioner and shortened the chain and it seems to work better. For now…

@@brettsommer That's an option too.. If it's working I say go with it..👍

Bike berry or Bicycle engines .com is pretty good. I buy them in bulk but if you're just looking for one or two engines these places are a good start..👍

Also Amazon

Yes 👍👍

Just one I picked up on E-Bay.

22 -23 MPH 🚴‍♂

@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes ok! Thanks!

I'm sorry 😪 I don't have a link. It's just a local guy that is a machinist that makes the one's I use.. I used to get them from E-Bay but I don't think the person I got them from still sells them beings I can't find their page any longer.

@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes do you have any chain clearance issues when using the rag joint on the hyper cruiser?

@@bestvideogamer4560 To be honest I never use the rag joint, I always use the aluminum hub mount & machine out the center hole in the stock sprocket because it won't fit over the wheel bearing cap if you don't. I realize everybody doesn't have the machinery to bore out the center hole of the sprocket, BUT if you buy the Aluminum hub mount and the rear sprocket as a kit off of Amazon or E-Bay the center hole is already big enough to fit over the bearing cap & it gives you the side to side adjustment you need if it's too close to your frame or rear tire... I know nobody wants to spend those extra dollars for those parts but if you do it takes all of that frustration out of assembling that rear sprocket. ( It's well worth the money)..

If you are completely determined to use that rag joint set up & need the clearance you were asking about you can flip the sprocket over either way, that's all the adjustment you get when using the rag joint.

Here is a link of a video I made 3 yrs ago to help explain why it's best to use the aluminum Hub Mount vs the Rag Joint.. It may help explain it better so you can decide for yourself.. 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a82FlaRor7fUpmg.html

I'll have to try one of those when this one wears out.. 👍

They are about $700.00 when all said & done

check out my four stroke build

I did check out you're 4 stroke bike video.. Me personally I used (what you referred to as junk parts in the stock kit ) to see how long they would actually last & so far I'm on my second year of riding & I haven't had any problems with any of them so far.. 🤷‍♂After years of building & riding these things I have found that a lot of people mis treat their equipment & then they blame the equipment when mostly it's not the equipment it's how it's being ridden. These things aren't motorcycles they are just motorized bicycles and let's not forget that all these parts are Chinese so there's not a lot of quality here to begin with.. Just my professional opinion.. 🤷‍♂Ride safe my friend.👍👍

I has coaster brakes..

I agree with what you're saying, these transmissions aren't the best quality.. Although I'll have to say I'm on my second year with this one & it's still holding in there.. 🚴‍♂🚴‍♂
