CarsandCameras just bought a mini bike for 80 it has a old briggs and stratton motor and the frame is from taco what are your thought. Did i get ripped off¿
You boys never ceases to amuse us we just love this channel .not only informing but fun real life problems. I feel like I've watched you young men mature in front of me
I have a 2016 Polaris ATV, they use torque converters (machine is automatic with H, L, & R). I'm impressed with how fast and smooth my machine will launch. For those of you who have a 570, it will go from 0-67mph in high gear. I wouldn't hesitate to put a torque converter in anything. Glad to see the mini bike upgraded from the clutch.
I have an old video how to install one on a doodlebug, it was all dirty at the time, now it is a lot cleaner. Ever since the video it has been camed and new tires and more. I used 1.5" box steel that had been sliced in half leaving me with two 3/4" C shaped pieces. Has held up great, no problems.
I'd love to see some numbers (acceleration) when you compare centrifugal to TC. Just need a stop watch and tape measure. Not 100% accurate but it is cool to see that. Great work!
at your 5:00 , I made 4 oblong holes with a roto zip where the regular holes were so the main mount bracket could easily be adjusted counterclockwise to keep the mount from hitting the frame. also installed a adjustable motor plate.mocked up a real good chain tensioner also.
I was relieved to see John suggest raising the motor prior to the frame getting cut, because I was thinking the same thing. Good job guys, be interesting to see how it runs once it's jetted and not raining. :-)
You guys are awesome very cool mini bike! You guys actually had inspired me to build my own mini bike this summer i welded the fram and made more ore less the full frame by my selfe (i teached my self how to weld on this projekt :D ugly but it holds) but i build it elektric and it has only 300 watts but its so cool to drive down the street it makes up to 20km/h with my weigth on it not incredibil fast and not even as much tourq as ur awesome bikes but i had a lot of fun building it thank you guys for the motivation !!! Best greatings from Germany :)
I actually prefer the centrifugal clutch over the torque converter on minibikes. so much more direct just have to have the right gear ratio. and i ride in very hilly woods trails. gokars are better with the torque converter just because of the weight and its nice to go slower in the tight trails
If you take off the governor,..what do you have to modify to compensate for the change? Is it .036 jet, 140 emulsion tube, performance air filter, and 18 lb springs,..is that enough ? Do you HAVE TO change to billet rod and billet flywheel (performance), also, or can you leave that until later without it damaging the engine ?
If I may make a suggestion for future builds where risky old 2x4s are an option, consider a product often used in construction: Unistrut. It's incredibly versatile.
thumbs up on the motorized bicycle. look I know this is a bit old of a video, but please w all my heart, do a video on the motorized bike PLEASE for the love of all that is fun in the world. I have 1 & they r so fun but would love to see what u guys do with one. Isaac, man Cmon u know it's easy & can produce lots of power on demand. I'm walking wheelies on mine w a lil clutch dumb.also I'm pretty sure there will be LOTS (more) folks will view when youtubes algorithm helps out.but screw all that, me, I just want the knowledge. please u guys. I watch all of your videos, much love from downtown memphis tennessee!!ps, you've inspired me to start a cart build so the whole family will not be (too) scared to ride, like they r of the motorized bike. I know kids n wife would love a cart.
hey I put a torque converter on my minibike (sold it tho) had a 5hp Briggs industrial engine which makes a ton of torque as is and with the converter it did wheelies at half throttle. the minibike in my profile pic is the one. also, the older model baja minibike have alot more room for engines, they where more square just to let ya know
Yall definitely needa mess with those motorized bicycles. their motor has a cult following behind them much like the predator motor but have the advantage of obviously being 2 stroke so much simpler engine also parts are much cheaper. believe it or not if u mock up one of those motors enough, you'd get close to 9 hp, granted their not as torquey as ur predators and contain a smaller higher power band but that's why their used on bicycles so u can make up for the low end loss. I've always wanted to see somebody put a torque converter on one of these to see the advantages and disadvantages it would bring. keep up the great work, love your show and all your projects.
about your mini bike you can add a longer shaft on the back part of converter and put the sprocket on right side instead then change back wheel put the chain sprocket on right side
I just found you guys on youtube. I bought your shirts and I think what you're doing is awesome. I started dabbling in motorized bikes first and now im building a go kart. I got my motorized bike up to 40 + mph. Id like to see you guys do some fab and make a cool motorized bike go fast. How many t shirts do i have to buy to make that happen?
Yes to the motorized bicycles! It'd be even cooler if you guys build an oversized go-kart out of welding the two bikes together and modifying the handlebars for a wheel.
I have just gotten a Mini Bike and the motor is ceased(For Free). I have a Go Kart with a 6.5 HP Briggs(I bought the motor for $20) with a burnt out Clutch. Should I buy a Predator and put it on or Swap ?
6:50ish. Lol the engine moved to the right.... if anyone has ever ridden an early 70s rv model Suzuki this will look familiar. And they ride funny, and steers better one way than the other.
Pleeeease do something awesome with the motorized bicycle, I just built my own and it would be nice to see you guys come up with some insane mods!! Thanks
I NEED HELP! Hey guys. I just got my torque converter on from Go Power Sports and I love it. But I think there might be problems? 1. The belt moves when the engine is on. 2. The go kart takes off on stand still. 3. And the engine tuns off when coming to a complete stop. What should I do? Also there's an aluminum flywheel and stronger replacement drum springs on the torque converter to withstand the higher RPMs on my Honda gx200 engine
is the belt on the correct way? it only is supposed to go on one way. is the engine rpm too high? does it have the brass collar so while its idling its riding on it?
The flat part of the belt is facing the engine. I dont know if the rpm is too high? Does the aluminum flywheel make a difference with torque converter aside from the regular flywheel? I also placed stronger springs on the drum. does this make a difference? And yes the brass collar is on.
Please do motorized bike builds. You can make them go very fast there are people in Miami making those little 2strokes go 70+mph. I have one that does 55
you guys should do up the motor assisted bike been running them for years and ride it at work from time to time as bike messenger it would be awesome to what u guys could do with it the best I could get the stock kit to go is 72 kph what can u do I want to try gets some gears going maybe go 90 my friends say wtf I say it'll be fine
Omg watching this in 2021 John looks like a different person all together. Meanwhile Ike looks exactly the same. Looks like John hadn't finished going through Puberty yet at this point lol.
hey guys u should mod that bike you took the gas tank off of . my next door neighbor has one out here in California and it does 51mph .. of course he's only 127lbs but that's fast ona beach cruiser ..
awesome! new tire, ACTUALLY MOUNTED i hate the wood -_- GREAT news though! finally got a welder, now time to get some steel, predator 212 (because mine is gawn) torque converter thats shown here, i have the big kart for parts. ill probably film me making my first gokart and how bad its gonna be :D stay safe guys.
Motorized bikes are hella fun. I built a few in my day. Sold them all off before I got in to youtube and back into collecting guns. Ill help yall with any issues ya may have
lovin that seat cover! now its really a predator lol
Love these old classic videos! There’s just something about them...
I love watching your videos!! It inspires me to do so much with my bikes a go carts!! Love you guys!
Thanks Connor!
You know you should do the motorized bike "it'll be fine"!!!
CarsandCameras you guys should build a diesel powered go kart or a racing lawn mower
thumbs up for the motorize bicycle
It finally happened.
CarsandCameras just bought a mini bike for 80 it has a old briggs and stratton motor and the frame is from taco what are your thought. Did i get ripped off¿
CarsandCameras can yall build a racing mower
CarsandCameras hi
i have crippling depression
SoutherN Mudding Mowers they should

DUDE NO! You know this is going on the internet right?!?!??!!????!!! Lol hahaha
Ahahahaha "It'll be fine..."
Fix those Motorized bikes, and run the Appalachian trail with 'em.
Or some other open road with great views. A field trip of sorts
Please don't, from the AT website: "Motor vehicles are illegal on all off-road sections of the Appalachian Trail."
Yeah, it was a joke. Thanks for your diligent fact checking
Alyn Penners you can never be too sure on TH-cam, just wanted to make sure nobody got a dumb idea ;)
I have an old video how to install one on a doodlebug, it was all dirty at the time, now it is a lot cleaner. Ever since the video it has been camed and new tires and more. I used 1.5" box steel that had been sliced in half leaving me with two 3/4" C shaped pieces. Has held up great, no problems.

thanks
motorised bicycle? hell yes!
I built 4 of those motorized bikes, they are great! I can't wait to see what you guys will do with it!
at your 5:00 , I made 4 oblong holes with a roto zip where the regular holes were so the main mount bracket could easily be adjusted counterclockwise to keep the mount from hitting the frame. also installed a adjustable motor plate.mocked up a real good chain tensioner also.
gotta hang out with you guys
*(Ike takes off pants)*
*John:* "Hey man you know this is goin' on the internet, right?"
*Ike:* "It'll be fine!"
Instablaster.
I was relieved to see John suggest raising the motor prior to the frame getting cut, because I was thinking the same thing. Good job guys, be interesting to see how it runs once it's jetted and not raining. :-)
I would like to see a mower build as well

Best greatings from Germany :)
thanks for watching
Awesome video! really helped me out. I have the same minibike with the same engine. Inspired me to put a torque converter on mine! 👍
How about a turbo, v-twin drag kart? Front brakes so it can do killer burnouts, stretched out to get off the line. That would sick!!
They did
I actually prefer the centrifugal clutch over the torque converter on minibikes. so much more direct just have to have the right gear ratio. and i ride in very hilly woods trails. gokars are better with the torque converter just because of the weight and its nice to go slower in the tight trails
These old videos with john in them make me laugh the whole video 🤣🤣 boy that hair
Thanks for making my day, guys!
you don't know how long I've been waiting for this!
U guys should make a go kart with a 125 pitbike motor and I love the motorized bikes idea
hell yes, predator 420 on that little motorized bike!!
Yeah definitely do those motorized bikes....very cool 👍
If you take off the governor,..what do you have to modify to compensate for the change? Is it .036 jet, 140 emulsion tube, performance air filter, and 18 lb springs,..is that enough ?

You should do a motorized bike build. I just rebuilt mine, it has a predator 212cc engine with a torque converter and it runs on propane
hey I put a torque converter on my minibike (sold it tho) had a 5hp Briggs industrial engine which makes a ton of torque as is and with the converter it did wheelies at half throttle. the minibike in my profile pic is the one. also, the older model baja minibike have alot more room for engines, they where more square just to let ya know
that thing is awesome can't wait to see what it can really do

Yall need a 13x5.00-6 super lug tire for better off road capability with the mini bikes
thumbs-up for the bike and put a 420 on it
about your mini bike you can add a longer shaft on the back part of converter and put the sprocket on right side instead then change back wheel put the chain sprocket on right side
Yes!! Do the motorized bicycle.
I just found you guys on youtube. I bought your shirts and I think what you're doing is awesome. I started dabbling in motorized bikes first and now im building a go kart. I got my motorized bike up to 40 + mph. Id like to see you guys do some fab and make a cool motorized bike go fast. How many t shirts do i have to buy to make that happen?
yes to those bikes great update
Yes to the motorized bicycles! It'd be even cooler if you guys build an oversized go-kart out of welding the two bikes together and modifying the handlebars for a wheel.
do the motorized bike! put a predator on it! I used to have one and it was SO much fun.
I like the way the gas tank looks. Really! It'll grow on you and it is functional. Think of a house on stilts.
More mini bikes and motorized bikes would be great!
where i come from weed say that's the most idaho thing i've seen all day LOL!!!
wouldnt be a bad idea to put a shield on the bottom half of the filter so it wont get clogged by dirt and what not
How many belts have you guys burned up or worn out? Like how many new belts have you bought ever since you guys started usig torque covertors
THEY ARE BACK!!!
You guys should do speed tests on every build you do
Do the motorized bicycle...I've got one that I've decked out ... everyone is wanting you to do them... you would do really good with it
would love to see more of both the mini bike and the gas powered bicycle
"You know this is going on the Internett? Yeah. It'll be fine....... " made me laugh so hard....
The bicycle would be a really cool project.
I have just gotten a Mini Bike and the motor is ceased(For Free). I have a Go Kart with a 6.5 HP Briggs(I bought the motor for $20) with a burnt out Clutch. Should I buy a Predator and put it on or Swap ?
Motorized Bike for sure ,that would be cool .
6:50ish.
Lol the engine moved to the right....
if anyone has ever ridden an early 70s rv model Suzuki this will look familiar.
And they ride funny, and steers better one way than the other.
You guys should compare the 3d manual clutch vs the torque converter vs the centrifugal clutch
I cut about 3 inches of aluminium from the bottom of my torque converter, works fine. Wasn't willing to cut frame and weaken it.
been watching videos for hours trying to see if anyone else has cut the torque converter instead of raising engine, thanks!!! lol
Living in north Georgia, my favorite part of the video was the rain.
that christmas time again.. time for some beer :P.. thx guys
Yeah when i did this to a baja i just oval'd out the two of the wholes in the aluminum backing plate and then it bolts right up.
yes lets see u guys get that vike rolling with a predator engine from G.P.S YEAH!
you should a project with the motorized bicycles, would be hilarious to swap in a 212 predator into one
Pleeeease do something awesome with the motorized bicycle, I just built my own and it would be nice to see you guys come up with some insane mods!! Thanks
cars and cameras yessssssssss
Yes on the Motorised bicycles I got one I want to see some good mods guys I would be buying stuff from Go Power Sports for my bike
I NEED HELP!
Hey guys. I just got my torque converter on from Go Power Sports and I love it. But I think there might be problems?
1. The belt moves when the engine is on.
2. The go kart takes off on stand still.
3. And the engine tuns off when coming to a complete stop.
What should I do? Also there's an aluminum flywheel and stronger replacement drum springs on the torque converter to withstand the higher RPMs on my Honda gx200 engine
is the belt on the correct way? it only is supposed to go on one way. is the engine rpm too high? does it have the brass collar so while its idling its riding on it?
The flat part of the belt is facing the engine.
I dont know if the rpm is too high? Does the aluminum flywheel make a difference with torque converter aside from the regular flywheel? I also placed stronger springs on the drum. does this make a difference? And yes the brass collar is on.
its hard to say without being there in person
Finally minibike videos(:
I think that it would be best if you told people what kind of toque converter to use for what engine
Hey guys did you know the motorized Bycicle are street legal if the pedal crank is operational they are considered a Bycicle by the dnr
you guys need to get a 110 quad they are fairly cheap and very easy to work on
That frame plate of the torque converter is solid aluminum? Wow, in the olden days, they were just stamped steel sheet metal!
thank u and have a good day dud
Take the motorized bicycle frame, and make it into a minibike chopper frame. Or, extend the mini bike frame by about a foot.
oh thats a good idea, but i think they should just use a minibike frame and put ape hanger handle bars on it maybe get a bigger front wheel
Luvstruck
a two stroke bicycle with a perty expansion chamber? hell ya make a video!
Finnally witht the minibikes videos!
I have a torque converter on a 26 in mag rim pedal bike with a 212 predator motor on it it's my best transportation
how much top end if any did you loose with the it...
keep up the good work guys love it
probably lost a few miles per hour
Ok thanks bud
Lol fun episode "oh someone is riding it"
New favorite cars and cameras moment: Ike hauling ass through the rain on a minibike wearing no pants, just briefs.
lol. thanks
Isaac it'll be fine
that shit was hilarious bro !
Hey, can you guys make one with 2 torque converters in series, or a torque converter to a gearbox?
Yeah, do something with the motorised bikecycle!
Please do motorized bike builds. You can make them go very fast there are people in Miami making those little 2strokes go 70+mph. I have one that does 55
can never go wrong with free!
The old manco dingos has a raised plate kind of like what you did
I have the same torq converter on my mini bike and it always does wheel stands off the line.
do some stuff with the motorized bikes, please I been wanting to build one forever!
you guys should really do a giveaway of one of your vehicles
14:51 mannn I was thinking about going to bed after this video but that might not happen. You know, cause of all the nightmares imma have 😮😳
you guys should do up the motor assisted bike been running them for years and ride it at work from time to time as bike messenger it would be awesome to what u guys could do with it the best I could get the stock kit to go is 72 kph what can u do I want to try gets some gears going maybe go 90 my friends say wtf I say it'll be fine
Omg watching this in 2021 John looks like a different person all together. Meanwhile Ike looks exactly the same. Looks like John hadn't finished going through Puberty yet at this point lol.
where can i find a bigger fuel injector for my 360cc preadoter??It has a straight pipe and pod.
hey guys u should mod that bike you took the gas tank off of . my next door neighbor has one out here in California and it does 51mph .. of course he's only 127lbs but that's fast ona beach cruiser ..
I would like to see a video on the formula cart. That was hanging in the rafters.... any chance?
awesome! new tire, ACTUALLY MOUNTED i hate the wood -_- GREAT news though! finally got a welder, now time to get some steel, predator 212 (because mine is gawn) torque converter thats shown here, i have the big kart for parts. ill probably film me making my first gokart and how bad its gonna be :D stay safe guys.
oh and ike try keepin the pants on next time ;D
I'll watch you vid : )
lol. yea
Gamer_time thanks!
Isaac it'll be fine hehe
Does it rain there everyday or just days you record?
Motorized bikes are hella fun. I built a few in my day. Sold them all off before I got in to youtube and back into collecting guns. Ill help yall with any issues ya may have
I'd like to see you boys make a Mini Bike Chopper with a lot of stretch, high rake and of cores power.
You guys should get tractor supply to sponsor you as much as you go there lol
