@fillipo1972 3 жыл бұрын

Dude, a project turning this into a mini e-bike is well within your capability and very worthwhile. Also you will end up with a very desirable bit of kit.

No need to find an integrated hub-motor, just go with chain drive.

Riley loved watching this as he has the same bike!!! Mines blue he says and says you should colour yours the same lol!! Been a while since I last commented on your channel, hope all are well!! With regards to the carb... The standard carbs can sometimes be a pain for leaking fuel, an aftermarket upgrade is an excellent upgrade which i would highly recommend. Riley and I will certainly be following the progress of the build!!

@retrorestore 3 жыл бұрын

Nice one Matt, yes I am changing the colour of this one to blue too.

@mattstubbington8805 3 жыл бұрын

Ha i won't tell Riley, I'll let him find out when he watches the next video!! Is surprising how powerful those bikes are.... Powers me along really well to lol although I normally hear Riley shouting at me 😂

I love watching your vids, but tbh this one ain't worth repairing, they are worth nowt and are pretty terrible tbh. More in parts and time than it's worth. You see em for sale all over the place for chip shop money.

As I said at the end of the video, its a bit of fun and I like doing it.
