best/easiest mounting i've seen yet for the weedeater motorized bike. great on you sir! following in your footsteps!

Why did you upload a video and you didn't even have it running, I get that you put it together and all but come on man that's the whole point

nice work, gets my mind going full of ideas!

I saw someone going down the road on one of these the other day, I thought it was great! I got a 22cc laying around somewhere, I might see what I can do...Thanks for sharing!

great idea for connection to the the tire. also an idea I had for the peg was to get a hold of a handlebar grip and slide that on so u will have rubber to rubber.

What you need to do is buy a motor (About 70cc) ,and then follow this guys istuctions because this dude's idea is very simple and easy to do.

nice build im going to be using a leaf blower motor myself but your steps are so simple

skateboard grip tape for tire connection

reroute throttle cable to the swing arm, bend tubing to allow the cable to pull in the right area, as for fuel tank get rid of it or keep as reserve tank, and buy a seat post mounted rack which you attach a 1 gal gas can, buy fuel lines from a lawnmower repair shop drill, 2 slightly smaller holes on top and bottom corner where fuel will gather, buy vacuum hose t-fitting that fit fuel lines, buy breather valve/check valve and short hose to fit (installs in gas cap) ,fuel feed line goes in drilled hole in bottom of gas can push through and pull out mouth of can insert t-fitting and pull back in till seated in hole, fuel return line goes to top of tank and gets treated the same as feed line, run hoses to carb, fill with fuel and enjoy your 60-150mile range. it works because i built for my 49cc bladeZ power board witch i would get 60 miles out of a gallon with raised compression, advanced timing, and a hp carb, averaged 25mph moving, peaked 33mph, rode from Whittier, CA to Santa Monica pier and back through downtown LA

Need more details on how you mounted the engine to the "gate" rod. Also, how did you attach the foot peg to the engine shaft? Other than that, great video!

I love going to a store with idea's the product maker never thought of

How do you attach the roller to the crankshaft?

Interesting idea for the mounting system. In the process of building one of these bikes myself

just a fyi i am a small engine mechanic weed eater engines are air cooled u can get more speed and longer life out of your engine if you put the plastic covers back on your engine so it is cooled off properly

I would find a way to put the shroud back on the weed eater engine. Either that or make one. It's there to direct the air being generated by the flywheel to cool the cylinder. It might get enough air when it's in motion but while idling it wont have any air cooling it.

Thank you very much for sharing!

thank you easy set up ever i am going to use it

how about adding a a dozen or so rubber bands to the peg to gain traction?

Nice job I have been having so much trouble trying to build a gas bike with just the spare parts I have around m house

Nicely done, thanks this helps

I like your idea bc of no welding I have made a chainsaw bike my self I did front wheeldrive with chain drivin it works pretty well but I'm gonna try your idea next but with a higher cc engine of course but great build anyhow

Thanks for posting this vid I'm working on one too

Great concept Richie, I'm working on a weedwacker trolling motor. I'd like to know if you worked out a way to engage and disengage the motor while riding ? Could you show or explain that system ? thanks...

hey if you cut a part of the exact same tread of your tie you have on the rim you could glue it on to that metal part where it's touching the tire so you have more grip

awesome dude do a test drive

you should use a grinder to make the peg a little rougher so it gets better traction

best cheap build I've seen!

Do you use the rear brake line for your throttle?

its cool you should ride it man

so i wanted to know how you fixed the motor to your brackets and that twisty bolt you use for tension, because i want to do that

it would seem that a brake lever and brake cable could have been run down to the cranks, then up the front motor-mount bar to the throttle...?

thak you your video halpd me a lot

For 180 bucks you can buy a nice engine, gas tank and controls kit to convert a bike. They look good too.

thats true i had a motor last 500miles with the plastics on it and i built another 1 with out the plastics and it locked up within 10minits

great video thanks!

If the lid is wiped from the roller ? A friction roller diameter?

please make a more in depth video on the mounting, also what if that pipe called that the L shaped fence rod goes into?

you can just pull on the fuel line and the fuel line should pull out of the tank so the filter will move down the tank

a lawn mower replacement throttle could help with your throttle issues . I took one from one model of mower to another did not fit exact but same concept without all the extra parts. Like your bike build keep building

does the roller attached to the clutch or it has direct drive...

Can u give me a parts list for this if at all possible, please?

what do you mean disengage? do you mean ideling or full take take off so you can pedal normally

Does your wheel/tire gets hot after few minutes of riding? Please reply

for the piece at 2:57 take a pole and fix it to the frame near the weel and weld it to the piece 2:57

That bike pegs looks like it won't have any grip at all on the tire there

ya just gota love home depot.

How fast do you have to go before the engine can take over, and you can stop, with that setup?

how does the mud and snow tire work?

Please please make a vid on how to get the bike peg on there. I can't figure it out. Please reply

i have a trike i plan on doin this to my trike is thare any way of mounting the engine with the main gears or is that not possible thanks......and nice job on your bike looks awsome🙂👍

Can u go up hills with it or is it to weak for that

How sterdy and how fast is it? And I think if you wrapped some electrical tape around the peg it would get more traction!

I think the fence part you are talking about is called a "cane bolt". Right?

how the fencing bar was attached to the engine?

Well I had a brain storm wile watch this, completely different design but I credit you none the less, thank you kind sir! But I must ask what's the tensioner called????

How did you connect the motor to the fence post

How much tension should I have on the tire?

Test drive!

thats what i did but make sure you have front brakes!

Ive done three of these and soon found out there is no need to have throttle control. Just open it up all the way and only run a kill switch wire. When you run up on a stop sign hit the kill switch and if theres no traffic and your still rolling a little it will take off again.

How did you mount the throttle on the handle bars?

How do u put the the fence thing on to the motor

Is the transmission gear box of 49cc engine fit to that weed eater motor? I saw it on ebuy. Thanks.

Where did u mount the black bar for the fence at on the motor?

how do you mount the peg without threads?

the u shaped thing is called a u clamp

where's your engine kill? on the motor?

Hey I need some advice or some pointers but I am making a weed eater bicicyle and I need some advice on how to mount it on my mountain bike

What's that thing called that u put onto the bolt?

could I get a list of the parts and how you did it?

the motor is too small and it needs a jack shaft,this bike in the thumbnail is the rite way to do it. good job son!

U should make some running vids :)

How does it idal

you should link the products you used to built this in your description. That away I could write down the product #'s and just walk directly into home depot and not have to walk around looking through every isle to find this stuff haha.

what is that adjustment support bar called??

I think it's called a "cane bolt".

what is the fence thing called?

How did you mount the bike peg, I want to build something like this to get to and from work and the store without having a motorcycle license (under 50cc you don't need a license, I'll try to get a 80cc but they'll never know), the only way I could see attaching the peg is taking a long bolt and using washers to hold the peg onto the shaft, how exactly did you do it?

dont forget To get your rear suspension back the piece will stay at its place

Basically a genius.

lol what, no test run?

What's that L-Shaped Fence thing called?

your bike tires look offroadish, think you might lose less engine power to the friction setup with street bike tires?

and it works??

can you give me more specific picture or a drawing, I find that you have the best design compared o others. I really want to make one like yours. thank, bill

How fast?

The rough pegs are called knurled.

How cool. All that gobbledygook and he never even starts it up to show us.

Cool

you mean you can go that good with the knoby tire

I think its called a turnbuckle.

There's not much chance that this even works. The drive roller needs to be knurled and even if it did grip the tyre it would soon rip all the spuds off the tyre. If you dont have the facilities to fabricate parts, try a BMX stunt peg as a drive roller, a nice grippy one. Nice effort though.

What weed cutter

start er up

here an idea. remotr fuel tank. extend the fuel line.

how did you attach the peg to the shaft

THIS IS AMAZING! How many miles per gallon?!?!

what is the name for what you used to adjust the Hight of the motor?

thank you now to go motorize a 1965 Schwinn breeze

everybody could built something like this and install anything in it and says it can cut a weeds or a whole tree with out showing how it really works and most of viewers likes it.as simple
