Nice! Have fun and be careful! That was my only gas project, everything else is all electric stuff that can hit in the low 60's. We're in an HOA so I am mindful of noise, etc, plus, gas isn't my forte, I'm an EE so all things electric / electronic is my gig. :)

Thx, it is just too cool, and my son loves it. :)

That’s awesome bro

Yeah I had seen that elsewhere so when I took off the cranks, I set them back in so they didn't oppose each other tack welded them in place, and viola! Foot pegs!

Thanks! The big huge giant deal that I'm dealing with now is MASSIVE chain vibrations, even with a tensioner I can't keep the chain on, (and it is aligned perfectly and tight).

@@TexasNEV i would try a upper chain tensioner with a gear on it instead of a roller bc most rollers will actually help the chain off

@@minecraftblockychris8708 Thx for that.. I've actually been using a sprocket roller tensioner. The real solution ended up me changing the chain. I didn't use the 415H chain that came w/ the conversion kit and just reused the regular single speed 410 chain that was on the bike. The pitch is the same and it fit fine but the chain is so light it was whipping and vibrating all over the place. Once I changed it to the 415H chain, the problem went away. Go figure.

@@TexasNEV remove the motor and put some padding down then put the motor back down I know on a regular bike build it helps a lot with vibration

@@lifesadventureskeepingitre1180 There is a lot of vibration for sure. That was a customer build, it was sold. They are having a ball w/ it though.

The 49cc conversion kit comes with pedal arm extensions in an attempt to preserve the pedal function. We didn't use them. :)

@@TexasNEV i know, i have the kit. But it looks like the crank sprocket would be in the way of the engine. Unless i make the crank sprocket super tiny..

@@datvik7187 I'd poke around KZfaq a bit more.. I think I've seen people do it and get it all to work. Not sure though! :)

We had one like that as well, but it was in poor shape. We came across this black one in excellent condition.. So we sold the red one so it all worked out. :)

YW.. These really are pretty cool.. If you can find a nice one in great condition, it's a keeper. :) The big issue is finding a replacement rear tire that doesn't cost a fortune...

Ya TexasNEV I've seen on fb bicycle groups people use 16 inch MC tires and 16" donut (spare)tires. Those tires are stupid expensive.

@@markplaylist5984 Wow I'm amazed that works and fits ok!

Thx! It was a fun project for sure. :)

I asked that guy two questions about two upgrades I intend to do on my Schwinn Stingray bike and by way of an answer, I got the following: "I can't help you with that." I guess he took me for a spy trying to steal his trade secrets.

How you install them?

@@jesusgutierrezgarcia1449 there's two different types of they're pretty well self explanatory

I think they are just breather elements / vacuum lines.. Not sure.

Gas overfill

I had to drill a small hole in the handlebar for the switch to mount, then the wires just plug up to the connector on the motor.

LA LA LA (plugging ears).. Delete delete delete.. Hope my 12 year old doesn't read this! LOL.. Umm.. no I haven't.. (It's on my list but had to work through the melting clutch issues).. RED COMPOUND CLUTCH rocks.. All others, disposable after a day..

@@TexasNEV lmao fair enough. I was so mad when I first got my motor and realized why I had no power. I've gotten mine with some other mods up to 37 on flat ground.

Yep it's a tight fit for sure! Makes it all worth while once it was all done. :)

Perhaps you can bend some metal brackets, use some self tapping screws into the frame or something.. Not sure.. Probably best to see if you can make the metal parts you need, get them placed where you need them and then just go to a muffler shop and have them weld whatever it is you need.

Once I changed to 415H from 410, the chain problems went away.. Pretty much good to go.. Plus I have a small supply of 20x4 fat bike knobby tread rear tires for sale on e-bay as well. traderrje is my e-bay seller name.. I only have 7 left.

I ended up having to trim the fender anyway. :) LOL

NICE! Hang on to those for sure!

Yes I did. Those bikes came in a ton of different color schemes. I'm glad OCC / Schwinn made these though. I think these look a lot cooler.

Sweet! Send me a picture via my website contact form. :)

@@TexasNEV I will but I have no idea how. I'm in Houston. My channel is saddletramp1200 I have my 79cc 4 stroke bike in one. I am the real deal too. Tell me how. I'm 67 and a pretty sharp old fart.🤣

The rear is a 20x4, front is a 24" but this is not the adult size.

Get the 3 bladed one with the RED compound. The stock one won't last (3 blade w/ black compound) and the 4 bladed w/ red compound is way too much chatter and vibration as that one is for 2 strokes..

@@TexasNEV do you have a link?

@@TexasNEV also, what do you mean by blades and compound?

@@TexasNEV there is currently a fly wheel clutch in the bike

@@maxblack8397 Not handy, that was a couple years ago, but they're on ebay, just search for 49cc clutch. This motor used the tapered shaft. I liked the 3 vane/ blade clutch w/ the reddish / brownish compound. not the black / grey.

I'm it sure it does. :) This was just something fun to do. "Nothing fits" indicates as such. :)

Absolutely.. Totally love belt drive.. See my other videos where I put belt drive on my EV Hammerhead 150.. Best money spent!

Thx David, all good, just having a little fun w/ this. :)

@@TexasNEV there only 30 to 90 bucks . Seriously I put that engine on your frame using a mini bike transmission. For ur son's safety change out the tranny the original is a single chain and will brake,both mine did the shaft over heats and locks up ,the transmission literally folds in half ripping apart because the engine produces 2footlbs of torque at clutch engagement speed 2600 to 3000 rpm. A 48 tooth sprocket takes load off ur transmission it's top end is 43mph ,it is,lol ur bike now does 38mph out the box ,it really does.ive built 5 of em. There's hundreds of videos project farm testing of ur engine is spot on. Please use a 48 or 50 tooth sprocket on the bike it will almost pull wheelies if u do. And they do get 50 miles per tank full ,1 dollar lol fills it up .38 gallon tank is on that bike. Ps get a tac that engine turns 8500 ,stock 7200 underload with 44 tooth gear . Believe it or not that's a Honda 50 cc clone on ur bike that engine came on the Honda cub that did 45mph. Ur engine produces 4.2 Hp at 8500 rpm it really does. The right gear would bring that engine to life.

@@davidkaul6180 Really great information but we sold that a long time ago.

Use 415H chain and you'll be good.. It fits regular single speed bicycle chain sprocket sizes but is heavy duty.

about 26mph. Good nuff. :)

@@TexasNEV what do you think is the maximum load for that engine? can it carry two old fellas?

@@deathwaiting9931 Nope. These engines are not designed for dead start applications or heavy loads.. Even with a kid riding, it's best to get moving by your feet first otherwise your clutch will last a day or so. It's only 1.5 horsepower at best but it is fun and the idea of a mini chopper like this is nostalgic.

With a 49cc probably.. If you're doing an 80 w/ a good gear ratio I'm sure you'd be fine.

@@TexasNEV are you sure it is a 2 stroke tho

@@LillysSquad I put in the 49cc 4 stroke but if you put in an 80 two stroke it should giddy up and go w/o needing to pedal but that's just my guess. I'm not really a gas-engine guy.. Most of my videos are all electric conversions.

Now that you mention it.. I do vaguely recall that! :)

Good to know. :)

? This is a bicycle that they don't make anymore, and converting it into a gas powered mini chopper is just too cool to not do. :)

We had another one that was left original. :) These things are cool though.

LOL.. wow ok, didn't know that. It came that way but looking at it again, not sure it would fit the other way but we'll give it a try!

Yes, ain't nothing like putting something bigger in to fix an issue where there is no space. LOL

@@TexasNEV that's not completely correct. Bigger as in cc maybe, but in physical footprint, no. The predator ghost isn't as tall as the engine you used, may be wider, side to side, but that's easily fixable by welding a wider mounting plate. Front to back it's 7". You'd have plenty of room to mount that. Still a great build tho. Enjoyed the vid 👍👍

@@TheShowgunofHarlem I was just being sarcastic, I getcha.. His grandmother bought the 49cc kit for my son for his birthday the year prior so that's what we had to work with.. It was fun. :)

oui oui! :)
