hey guys in this video we go from a roto-tiller and a bike to an awesome looking vintage motorbike. Using a briggs and stratton 5hp engine and a Canadian made "elite" bicycle! this motorized bike/motorbike goes around 30mph while also having plenty of torque to get me going. It uses a belt tensioner as a clutch that then goes to a chain drive to the rear wheel. If you liked this motorized bike be sure to check out the rest of the channel for mini bikes, go karts, gas scooters, motorcycles and of course, more motorized bikes! Thanks for watching!

Awesome build! I would consider replacing that hand lever clutch with a foot pedal option that mated into a full foot platform) that locked down and then released with a cable running to a hand/thumb lever - that way you can have both hands on the handlebars while releasing the drive. Great job!

I ride it all the time and the motor has proven very reliable. It does go thru tires pretty quick. I added a 3 gallon tank for range, fenders, triple tree forks, and some reproduction vintage lights. Even the Harley guys love it. I thought they would laugh me off the road.

Brilliant build. Use what ya got. This was every boy's dream as a kid. But not many of us had welders and drill presses so some of the stuff we did was kinda dangerous.

I keep hearing the bicycle chains can't take the load but I saw these motorized bikes in my youth doing just fine! The B&S Engine was mounted on two 2x4's that were clamped to the frame and had belt drive to a pulley on the left side, mounted to the pedal shaft. The belt was large enough to go from the engine to the lower pulley and up to another pulley that could be pressurized by the riders foot. The movable pulley was mounted to a 2x4 on the frame and went up enough to allow force to be applied by foot with a small bar extended on the pulley center axle. Worked just fine. Maybe chains were stronger in the early 60's?
