Thanks! I learned that trick from Seth (Berm Peak)

True that lol

I freakin hate trying to tru wheels. I just buy new used wheels

I was wondering what they were thinking, but 'A' for effort lol.

Thank you builder :)

Are you Joe Guerrero?

@@shadoza nope.

Lmao I like that one! 😅

Or possibly the plug is the wrong one and the piston slapped it.

Looks like a fair deal for $50.....I see lot's of shysters on Craigslist & FB marketplace buying a $130 engine kit and putting it on a used $25 bike=$155. Then trying to sell it to someone (a kid) for $500 hoping the buyer doesn't realize they need lots of work to stay running. If I get another engine kit I'll sell mine for what I have invested in it but it'll have a balanced crank, ported/polished case & jug.

Well everyone loves a sweet deal but you have to consider the value of the bike without the motor as well as the time and money in upgrades if it has any

And I'm glad it did! Digging into the motor would have added a day, and my energy was low.

Lol lucky me :P

@@LAHover I know the feeling.

It's such an annoying thing to deal with and not the best solution. But I ran the first trail bike that way for a long time and it worked. Hopefully this one will too.

He has been making them for about 1.5-2 years, and has 5 now!

700c some times have 32. But a lot of 27.5" bikes use 32 as well. Every 26" and 29" I have built so far use 36.

Thanks! Solid mount for the price! Hope you get many miles out of it.

Thanks!

Lol it was at that moment he realized the freedom of a motorized bike :) ... And the responsibility.

Thanks! :)

Lol, was a crazy thing to see for sure.

@@LAHover yeah but it’s cool that you helped your neighbour get it running and soon he will hopefully upgrade the motor. Then he can ask you to do port work lol

Thanks Nova! Dude was super chill so I had to try.

Thank you Builder!

Thanks, and it turned out to be a solid little motor :) good power too.

😆 I like that one lol

Mine has Vee brakes so close

They run ok. Just putting allot of stress on thin tires is got great IMO. If you ride relaxed and be careful about bumps and holes you will be fine. I try to stay at 2" wide tires.

Clamping style hub adapters on anything other than a coaster brake hub will slip and bend spokes. If you do have a coaster hub you can use one, but I recommend adding a set screw or woodruff key between the hub and adapter. I use the stock sprocket adapter on most of my bikes.

@@LAHover Thanks

Due to there being a handful of different things that can cause it I would recommend joining the discord server for live help. Link is in the discription.

In the motorized bike market, I've observed a general trend. In most cases, once a motor is added to a bike, its original value tends to become irrelevant, except for a few specific niche scenarios and custom builds. Those with the expertise to build and modify bikes often prefer to create their own, while those less knowledgeable about them may try to negotiate lower prices. Furthermore, additional add-ons and customizations don't seem to significantly impact their resale value. Realistically, I'd consider myself fortunate to fetch $300 for the build, but I'd expect closer to $200 in most cases. Also note: Selling a gas bike should include blunt disclaimers about legality, and liability.

Amazon, I would link it but it was so long ago it's no longer available. Look for "triangle bike bag" there are a bunch of them.

Double walled, quality felt good. Just annoying 32 spoke count... I still trust them more than my mags.

@@LAHover yeah mags r sketch after I told my self I was going to hit speeds over 50 once I put on brand new mag rims I knew they were just going to explode going over a little speed bump I felt them almost banana also I'm a little overweight right now

Oddly enough, when I tested it the first time (b4 the clutch bearings failed) it fired right up! ... So maybe I have been worrying about getting a little grease on the pads for nothing. But I'm sure it did not help lol

This Eagle 1 is faster than most of my bikes. It's a monster, I love it! Just $$$$!

@@LAHover what is its maximum speed?

@@Felix_Edmundovich 40mph

Grease and bread

Easy first bike builds, The Kent Bayside, and Huffy Lockland. would be my first picks. The Roadmaster Granite Peak is an easy build too, but you may need to cute out the center of the air box (easy and wont hurt anything) to make it fit. The Huffy Cranbrook is super easy to build on as well, but you NEED to know how to readjust the rear wheel bearings after you install the sprocket, and add rim brakes. the coaster brake on the Cranbrook can fail under hard braking, so I would add rim brakes. ALWAYS REMOVE THE FENDERS on any bike you get they are dangerous! Best value motor I see right now is the Wild Cat PK80 from californiamotorbikes.com/shop The Seeutek pk80 on amazon is a good motor too. Or the Silver Slant from bicycle-engines.com

@@LAHover Thank you so much!

I also am new to motorized bicycle world and I would go with a 4 stroke kit. If you can start any of your dad's lawn equipment Chain saw, weed Wacker, push mower then no problem for you to start the bike. The two stroke motors can be tricky to start for beginners.

Nice

@@Miller-killer-weldingndairsoft I typed first

This was not built for $50, it was found at a yard sale for $50. No time is lost if you enjoy what your are doing.

Thanks for watching! Good luck on your build.

Varla Eagle One. It's a monster! I love it! Thing goes almost anywhere you point it no matter how bad the path is :) I saw your video on it too, scary fast!
