@itsrich It is no doubt a ton of fun! The recipe for little toys and big motors is as good as it gets! I still have the governor on mine too. I got to 38MPH on GPS. Did you ever take yours off and see how much that changed the top end?
@@321fabrication4 The rim of the back tire broke due to too much weight so I didn't get to do everything that I wanted to with the bike. I still have the 212cc engine though so I want to see what I can put that into. I recently got a honda grom so I still ride.
@@morrisjohnsonakamj6346 I've never bounced or held it wide open, but my magnet pickup decided to let loose at about 45mph (sketchy enough as is) and tore through my cover. Luckily it hit the pavement and didn't come off at the 9-12 o'clock position. After that I got a $60 used arc billet FW and no problems since. If that magnet comes off and hits a leg or your ass, you'll wish you'd have spent that few dollars.
your videos are gonna help me out so much i just bought one of these at goodwill on a wim and now im doing this for my project at the technical school i go to if you have any tips lmk
let me know what u need to know, i scraped the project when the back wheel broke from its spokes due to too much weight. I would recommend a good throttle system (in terms of wiring and returning springs), stronger back wheel but that would require some more engineering to get a sprocket and break on there. other than that small upgrades can be done like seat and handlebars to be more comfortable. please consider investing in getting breaks, i was riding a death machine.
@@itsrich3203 No kidding. I got mine a couple of days ago and had a low speed crash on my first time riding it and that's without any modifications. I don't see why people want to modify the motor on this to make it run faster when it's already fast enough right out of the box as it is? If anything I'd like to either add training wheels to mine (for stability) and or a variable speed control throttle which is what should have been included as a standard feature seeing as how this scooter is intended for use primarily by teens rather than us full grown adults.
This is awesome I'm doing the same thing but I'ma put a Pocket bike rear tire on it so I can have disc brakes and the instead of putting the motor where you have it I'ma put it where you put your feet and I might have some pegs near the back and have a chain roller to keep it from rubbing against the metal but I think in total it'll be a 200 dollar project I'm building it cause me and my older brother built this go kart which we named little Debbie and my project I'm working on is name Betsy but yeah
Hey my name is Brandon Lee Thelen on Facebook im actually tying to do the same thing I have the same frame. You should add me of FB so I can find out where to get the sproket and stuff.
I also have a dirt bike, and am also currently working on getting another street legal motorcycle. I had this motor already and just wanted to challenge myself
This is AWESOME! I have a Razor MX 400 I did a predator motor swap on and it is an absolute blast!
Yeah I bet it is. Your build is way more sophisticated than mine that thing looks mean!

NICE! Mine is IDENTICAL except I have a GX160.
Ran 53mph today via gps.
Awesome work man.
Also, careful with removing the governor without swapping flywheels. You don't want the magnet letting go at 5,500~rpm and hitting you.
Or grenadeing
53 holy shit i didnt push this thing past 50 because it felt like the frame was gonna snap
@@austinlane5533 why remove the governor and have to buy extra parts for a $100 dollar motor, flywheel only busts if you keep revving it nonstop

Great Work, you an Engineer!!!

lmaoo they're a lot of fun but gotta weigh the risks first

Can you show us how we can do this?
yes what part about it do you wanna learn?
@@itsrich3203 just how you got the engine into there
Weld on an old school scrub brake now .

Yeah for sure bro
@@itsrich3203 what sprocket did you use?
Why? Just why...all the work you did you might as well have bouggt a dirt bike or motorcycle
I also have a dirt bike, and am also currently working on getting another street legal motorcycle. I had this motor already and just wanted to challenge myself
The Journey is the best part..!
