I built mine at 16 and am rebuilding it at 17 :) I guess the stock internals couldn't handle me. I wish I had the money for a proper project car buuuuut I don't so these cheap things will have to do!
@@nicoapi7401 I was 15 when I converted my old Honda 100 to a "dirt bike". That was 50 years ago. Before that, we had minibikes with Briggs engines. I even had a friend that built one with a Briggs engine from Heath Kit. Big difference back then. Stuff was much cheaper. I paid more for my last two helmets than I paid for my first three motorcycles. But we all built stuff and it has paid off throughout the rest of my life. It's good to know how things work. Glad to see some of you are keeping it up.
damn very balanced awesome clean build. 60 is about the most you really want to go on bicycle wheels, frame, brakes etc lol. it seems to do 40-50 so effortlessly, this is the way and something i may try to emulate one day
Very nice, clean build! Looked extremely stable even at high speed, and the brakes appeared to be more than sufficient. And that engine is a beast! I wouldn't be surprised if it pulled close to 10hp on a dyno.
I built a nice one.... Mine has nothing on this one..... Breaking 45mph is doing things.... The trouble I had with those speeds is most bikes don't handle well. They get kinna spookey! Great video buddy! Your brave
You can stabilize spooky ride using a screen door closer as a ghetto steering stabilizer, shorten shaft attach w articulating mount on frame and handlebar, really works well , totally adjustable.
eh some people are more comfortable doing 45 mph on a bicycle. I learned to ride on 2 stroke dirt bikes and used to bomb hills on my mountain bike just for fun. i hit 50mph on my dad's ebike and the elctric motor wouldnt even turn on i was going too fast 😂
my little brother got a Sondors for $500 but it can barely keep up with my ebay 80cc kit... and the higher output ebikes are so stupidly expensive it is just so much more cheaper to build a motor bicycle...in my opinion of course
Like the build,personally i like alotta torque,i live in bangor maine in the city so i need alotta torque,the hp bike i had was stolen,beautifull ported china girl,80jet key ignition mxz 65 pipe and the sprockett hub adapter w 42 tooth,was a beast but its gone now.i will build a new one soon when moneys not so tight.ride safe bro
I LOVE THIS BUILD!! I now much prefer electric for the noise and heat and fumes, but, this bike is so well built it is gorgeous, thank you for sharing it. I would have it as an electric alternative because we can brew our own fuel at home so this would be good option if we ran out of petroleum too!!
I like the idea that you talk about changing sprocket and returning... first time I have heard of that from any bike building post.... they both seem to go hand-in-hand.... sounds like you know what you're doing... thumbs up be safe...
I was about to write a comment when I noticed a guy with my name which ofcourse turned out to be me one year ago. I don't think one single 80cc or ebike at the same level can outdo it yet. Like I said a year ago, that's one badass bike.
Awesome bike, but as others have said, that's basically the same power as some motorcycles. Please wear the right gear, asphalt is unforgiving. Gloves, leather, full face helmet, etc. Stay safe!
What about the fuzz ‘ when they stop u with all that gear on you ‘ that bike can be heard 5 miles away ‘ great looking build ‘ but where do you go to ride it ‘ it just sticks out it would be taken off u the first day out
First off, that thing is freaking awesome. Really. Second off, steering damper. With the flexy bits and geometry, I can see things getting way twitchy at speeds this will go.
Hi i have just found your channel that bike is truly amazing I'm not in to the average bike billed but yours is way above average i wish i had the expertise to billed one like yours God bless you and stay safe in these troubled times 🙋♂️🇬🇧
Another awesome looking bike Jay. You are building some sweet looking machines and I truely apprecite the amount of quality and style you're placing into these builds. Keep up the fantastic job. Oh, it would be great to see you actually go through one of these builds in a video.
Hello, good bike but what about the temperature? Engines with high revolutions need a better cooler system... Or you don't have that kind of problem with your engine? Greetings.
Very nice bike, i grew up riding bikes in the 80s since i used to build model cars, sting ray chargers etc. Now, I've done the RC hobby, i have about 25k/30k invested i might sell a few things to raise some money to build a bike similar to urs. Looks great.
That's CRAZY! I'm considering buying y first motor kit. I'm gonna go with a Fat Tire bike I think, and I'm researching these things. 60mph on a bicycle is WILD!
I don't wanna rain on your parade my dude but it's way more difficult on a fat tire. The frame geometry usually gets in the way but it's the tires sheer size that screws you. It causes interference with the chain, unless you use a clamshell (which you should not do, they are exceedingly dangerous). Luckily I'm not the kind to bitch without providing a solution. Find a 27.5 with generous fork clearance and get some oversized tires for it. Limited width can be gained with commercially available wide tires but for major width custom wheels and tires can be found which will increase stability while still allowing the chain to clear. Also if you opt for a 29inch in most cases you will have to offset your carb at the very least. A 27.5 Safety Bike frame gives you the easiest installation with a decent amount of parts options and full compatibility with 26in tires and rims.
@@randomweirdo4467 I appreciate the heads up on what would be a potential clusterfuck. I guess if I ever decide to get one, it'll be the Phatmoto off-road. It's already a big tire to some degree, and I won't have to build it. I'm a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, so in most situations, I'd just ride an actual motorcycle. I'm only entertaining this idea because they seemed popular at the time of my comment in the city I'm living in temporarily. It would certainly save on gas and all but delete traffic. Unfortunately, the local police have started cracking down on the 50cc limit and have gotten hip to the fact most people are riding illegally. Their response to the infraction is to immediately impound the bike, log it as evidence to be held until your court date, and buy the time you get one, the impound fees are so high you could buy your moto-bike 3x over. It's probably not worth it. Leave it to the government to ruin any kind of fun or way to avoid them building revenue through gasoline taxes.
How about getting rid of that crumb bum Biden and harris and pelosi and taking this country back for We The People. Castrating our youth and killing babies . These people are evil and rotten.
What crank rod is being used because I know the 56mm piston has to take a 12mm bearing. That's why I haven't built my own frank is I want a real bearing....if you could share that info I would really appreciate it. Super sweet ride
im 27 and i wouldn't either. but i learned that riding dirt bikes without gear on.....broke my face on my handlebars and helicopter ride to the hospital...
It isn't, provided he doesn't try to offer or promote it as a commercial product. I believe his case is covered by the "fair use" doctrine. Not sure though BMW can't give him a DMCA strike down ... 😂🤣😝🤪
Awesome!!! What is the speed rating on those tires? You are venturing into motorcycle speeds. Don't know that I'd want to be doing 70mph on bicycle tires with no speed or heat rating?
that's so crazy I kept expecting it when you first took off to like going warp-drive like Star Trek and all I see is a little fire trail behind you with the blue smoke I'm jealous man I want one
I just bought the grunt motor with MZ pipe from Zeta motorsports and I have a 26 in bike from bike berry .. What I wish I was able to hook my bike up like you did you have a lot of nice parts in everything looks Of such high quality... Where did you get the throttle that pushes like that instead of twist.. Is it simple to upgrade the disk brakes 2 big ones like you
I can't wait to build mine this year. I'm not doing a billet case but I am going to do a case reed for my ms660 (56mm) build. But for practice I'm going to build a ms460 (54mm) piston port build. I figured since it's the first couple times I'll be doing stuff like crank balancing and stuff I wanted to try a more basic built with the ms460 keeping it balanced and trued crank but just a piston port. I have a bunch of new ideas to get some of these things done so I can't wait to start on them. Great video, that kinda power is exactly what I'm looking for so I can get my fatness moving away from a light or 🛑 sign faster, and up very steep hills. I'm going to start with a 36t so it can move me up hills and all easily I'm not looking for top speed, I have crashed at speed and I'm just too old to handle another one of them lol. So 45mph is plenty fast as long as it pulls me up hills if I have to I'll go to a 40t but I doubt it with the power I think it will make. Thanks for posting, this is probably the 4 time I have watched this. Lol.
