Robin Hood vs nobody, as nobody is going to challenge your engine building skills. Man, if you designed and built that yourself you are a very talented guy. Seems like a lot of guys take lawn mower engines and rig them to a bike, no big deal. But that engine is a WORK OF ART, and I don't think many will disagree with me.
This isn't steampunk, this is gasoline punk! Wow, an open cranked 4 -stroke engine- powered bicycle! Fantastic job of home design and machining! Good work :)
It's funny to me how wise people can take something that is complicated and make it simple. Others take something simple and try to make it complicated. Great job, and thanks for sharing.
God bless you, and He obviously blessed you with a n outstanding mechanical vision and the hands to make it work. Brilliant, simply brilliant!!! I love it all!!!! That is by far the coolest bike engine I've heard. Really digging on the build!!!! You should teach people how to build these, and who knows what other fantastic ideas are in your head and the people you inspire? I am loving the positivity of your video, too!!! Keep up the classy builds!!! Stay blessed
What an inspiration your engine is! I love the old timey hand crafted antique quality that you have implemented in its construction. Many tinkerers and builders who love the old style early 1900s motorbikes could emulate this type of motor or variation to homebrew your own modern day antique machine.. well done sir, well done!
Very nice piece of engineering. Such engines were around back in the 1960s like the Power Pak and Berini. Your set up is very like the Power Pak, except that was only about 50 cc. At the time special steel reinforced tyres were available for use with these friction drive engines, but I don't know if you could still get one. A standard cycle tyre will not last long.
WOW....THIS IS A FANTASTIC ACHEIVEMENT!!! I am a mechanic and fabricator as well so I can appreciate the time, EFFORT AND SKILL this project took to pull off as well as you have. I don't say this often but you are EXTREMELY TALENTED... We people seem to be too far an few between these days....Nice to see that someone else holds the basics PROUD AND TRUE. WELL DONE INDEED!!!
No Sir...I am NOT Over-estimating anything. Like I said...I am basically the same type of guy that you are. We can make anything using items that have no business being utilised. We are creative, we are fabricators and we LOVE a challenge...even if its just for FUN. So no...I see exactly the type of guy you are just from this project of yours. My hat is off to you Sir. You should see some of the things lying around my house man...LOL Like a Mad Scientist got loose around here and made crazy stuff nobody ever thought of...or maybe never needed either...but hey...IT WAS FUN!!!
robinhooodvsyou this thing is really cool, you did a very nice job, and now after all that hard work you put into it, you have yourself a real good starting point and completely functioning prototype. From here you can really go to town tinkering away and getting things fitting nicer, working nicer, looking more pretty ect. I think you could have yourself a neat little seller here. It seems to me like it is lacking a lot of power,I'd imagine you need a larger carb, or maybe it's just not opened up very much because it starts to choke and load up, in which case one could simple snag a governor off an old tractor carb and use the levers and mech's and have a nice mechanical govern'd setup that can keep itself running smooth when it begins to load up and run out of power etc. just an idea. Great work man! Cheers, IC.
Excellent work young man. I'm very impressed with your ability to create something from nearly nothing. A thoughtful blend of existing equipment into a very cool looking exposed engine, You are a very skilled integrator. Keep up the great work! I love the chain drive cam shaft and open valve train. Very sweet. You've created a work of mechanical art, really.
Anyone that can build their own engine, even from repurposed parts is pretty damn clever in my book. I think there are plenty of elements of Genius in this design as well. Seems simple but extremely well thought and laid out for the purpose for which it was built. One day I hope to have the smarts and skills to create my own engine as well. I'll be more than happy if anything I can come up with works as well as this engine.
You guys are talented. It was like real Music for me. Thank you very much for your video! A little bit unpractical for our country (the roads here is often mud and/or water, dust, etc.) but really BRILLIANT. Thanks again!
A very beutifull piece of engineering. This is something else than just putting an engine on a bicicle. Even the sound it makes is perfect. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see this.
Very nice !We had the same in France called the VELOSOLEX the engine was more compact and on the front wheel.From 1946 to the mid 80's they sold millions, it was the cheapest indidual motorized transportation.Engine was more compact, gas tank was on the side of it, cylinder was on top, flywheel was on the other side of engine. Headlight was incorporated to the engine. No acceleration system, but a decelaration system by cable, and ebgine coul be lifted by a small handle behind the cylinder. It was 45 or 50cc 2stroke engine.I had three of them when I was a student and in my early 30's. It was perfect for errands in town'I do regret ut sometimes : now we're asking for more performance but basic objects had a lot to say for themselves although it is true that on icy and muddy roads riding the SOLEX as we called it was sometimes a challenge !!!However it couldn't meet pollution standards these daysI was told the SOLEX now has an electric version but I'm not sure. You should google VELOSOLEX or SOLEX for more info. Good job anyway !!!
I`m very well aware of the velosolex. In fact, the very first motorized bicycle that I built years ago was sort of based on the same concept. Thanks for the comment !
There is a "solexmillenium.fr" (a French website). But, production stopped around 2006 (and, after 1988, it was already on the decline).

i,m a professional auto mechanic and your little engine is very, very cool. the whole thing is scary but cool. watch the grease cup bobbing up and down. damn that's the most mechanical machine i.ve seen in a while
wonderfully conceived and executed project! appears to be what would be called a total loss lubrication system, just like the very early racing motorcycles. I think I'd like a brake, somewhere, but that's just me. I like this project! Well done!
+Hazan Motorworks , People who have no Idea what so ever about nothing but their ass and belly, yes, they saw this video and because of their small brain can't handle something brilliant as this bike and its motor, then they pushed the thumbs down button to complete their own stupidity action.
+Art O orthey just dont understand why they put so much efford in such a useless project.. yea its very nice done.. but not that usefull...so i dont give any thumb
This is great for teaching purposes :) because all the mechanisms are very visible. It also has some disadvantages but it's for sure very interesting for students to study this also.
Very impressive. Reminds me of the developing technology of early 1900's when motors were being added to bicycles for what became motorcycles. But dude, you really need to wear a helmet to protect that formidable ingenuity between your ears!
Beautiful work, I've got a 1941 Schwinn I've been wanting to stick a motor on, I was thinking of using one of the Chinese 2 stroke kits that are so readily available but after seeing this I think I need to rethink that and build an engine instead, the open crank design is badass! I think I'd rather mount mine in frame though and use a belt drive, and probably geared timing rather than a chain. I hope you did a video on the build, I'm going to look for it now, if you haven't you should, excellent work..
Awsome, Greetings from Denmark! I love that sort of mechanical creativity, really inspiring. thanks for making it and thanks for sharing it with the world.
That's pretty awesome dude..respect! What I wonder is the durability of it in the long term with everything exposed to the elements and the lubrication and such. Either way it's a work of art!
Wonderful to see. There aren't many young people "messing around with stuff" unfortunately. Very good innovative brain. Heath Robinson would have been proud of you. (look him up!)
Russian "home made" inventions: gotta love it, the sheer ingenuity to make something usufull and practical with limited resources is ashtonishing and impressive, respect!
+robinhooodvsyou Well excuse me! But I meant what I said about the sheer genius of the invention: making this work whith such limited resources, excellent!
Is that an Oiler on the lower crank pin? LOVE IT. We need people like us around after the Apocalypse bro. How many other guys do you know who can actually BUILD their own engine? Of course we have about 100 yrs of knowledge to take from but still. I love this thing. Its not just some silly bike engine...its so much more.
this video can go a long ways in explaining the internal combustion engine to people who have no idea what is happening under the hood of their car. great work! ignorance may be bliss, but a basic understanding of the car you drive can save you thousands when it comes to dishonest mechanics and unnecessary repairs. Knowledge leads to a craving for more Knowledge.
I don`t know if there`s a general connection, but I remember reading about a finnish study that concentrated on the prevalence of aspergers syndrome in northern savonian families (a province in finland, not that far from where I live).
Actually, it`s the size of the "roller" that largely affects the wear rate of a tire, I once had (still have a video of it) a similarly built bike which had a 20 cc weed trimmer engine and a 25 mm roller, as a result I could really tell how much the tire was worn just by looking at it.
What a wonderful invention, however in the u.k it would need so much protection around it to comply with Health & Safety Regs it would not function...well done Robin!
the world is at your feet . .it is such an accomplishment ..using old school methods to come to that finished and proven operational unit .. the tank dip stick and bearing greaser .wide . friction drive fantastic ....live your dreams
Excellent, very excellent. My gawd I hope who ever put this together knows how smart they are, not many could even understand what you did. Very good job, very impressive
+Rivaldi Lambadoko Harahap I was thinking the same thing. The cam lobes will collect a lot of dust from the road back there and it will mix with the oil and make like a grinding paste on the cam lobes.
Please tell me how do you oil the piston, the eye of the connecting rod? i think you grease the connecting rod near to the crankshaft but what about the othe moving components?
As I've always loved the saying, "The mother of invention is necessity". You should be extraordinary proud of the concept an ingenuity that you put into this project. Absolutely incredibly engenius astonishing outcome. Please continue to experiment with your engineering mechanisms. As you have done here stay with the concept of keep it simple stupid. You are an inspiration and good luck in your endeavors.
Most rod's are feed oil from the crankshaft journal, a cross drilled passage, here, from the oil in the reservior can feed oil from the rod to the crankshaft, reverse of a normal internal combustion engine.
The mathematics of this are flawless. Every time VW barrels are used that's one more Beetle off the road.. Could you make a few using Citroen 2CV cylinders..? Please? The low compression has made this work- it is a rare engineering gift of being able to see things in 3D before you have finished designing them. well done.
Thanks. I think citroen 2CV cars are pretty rare here in finland, so if I am to build any of these contraptions again I`ll probably stick to one of my VW cylinders. And, I suppose I have some kind of engineering "gift", my mild autism makes it very easy to design mechanical things in my mind.
Robin Hood vs nobody, as nobody is going to challenge your engine building skills. Man, if you designed and built that yourself you are a very talented guy. Seems like a lot of guys take lawn mower engines and rig them to a bike, no big deal. But that engine is a WORK OF ART, and I don't think many will disagree with me.
It is a homemade engine, but I also have a couple of bikes with lawnmower engines on them, thanks for your kind words !
thank you for not putting some crap music over the video I get so tired of lame music overlays, great motor congratulations on the build.
That really is worth something, especially the retarded volumes that the kids use, as they cant edit well..
This isn't steampunk, this is gasoline punk! Wow, an open cranked 4 -stroke engine- powered bicycle! Fantastic job of home design and machining! Good work :)

Gotta hand it to whoever built this, they sure had skill and determination.

This is my favorite motorized bicycle, even my favorite homemade gas engine. I want one!
Thank you !
If you want one, I think you have to make one :)

robinhooodvsyou this thing is really cool, you did a very nice job, and now after all that hard work you put into it, you have yourself a real good starting point and completely functioning prototype. From here you can really go to town tinkering away and getting things fitting nicer, working nicer, looking more pretty ect. I think you could have yourself a neat little seller here.
It seems to me like it is lacking a lot of power,I'd imagine you need a larger carb, or maybe it's just not opened up very much because it starts to choke and load up, in which case one could simple snag a governor off an old tractor carb and use the levers and mech's and have a nice mechanical govern'd setup that can keep itself running smooth when it begins to load up and run out of power etc. just an idea. Great work man! Cheers, IC.

Thank you !
I am more impressed than I can possibly express. ...pure genius... Thanks for sharing this machine.
Thanks for the views everyone !!!
Thanks for the video with the awesome engine!
Verry good!
Super! Excellent engineering and very good design!
Love it!
genius!!!!!!!! i love it!
This thing's great!
Where can I get one?
How do I make one?
:)
Highly creative use of spare VW air cooled cylinders with piston. Quite ingenious application to employ on a bicycle. Wow!!!
I love that you put the piston upside down and the crankshaft faces up.....amazing.
A very beutifull piece of engineering.
This is something else than just putting an engine on a bicicle.
Even the sound it makes is perfect.
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to see this.
Thanks for the nice comment !

That's so cool I'd like a dollar for every minute it took to build, looks like a lot of effort but its brilliant
Very cool, nice job!!!! I love where the cam shaft is, freaking great! Lots of Birch Trees and I hear the birds, looks like a nice area.
DIY engineering at its finest! I love it. Thanks for sharing your great job of building. I love how it sounds. I want one!
It's just so 1899, I love it!
Yep back when people had Ideas to motorized bicycles in a fun way
I don't understand how this gets any negative feedback. Nice work.

Collin Kreider sort of like marriage.
Collin Kreider, I find your spelling useless.
Collin Kreider, Why is it useless. It runs well, its a great motor-bike, and took some thoughtful engineering and fabrication. It is totally cool!
i love this. im all about motorized bicycles; built a 68cc 2 stroke about 3 years back. i use it on the weekends when the weathers nice :)
Back Tod the roots! Carl Benz would be proud of you! It is so basic that you only have one break, which is dangerous. But maybe you have good shoes.
love this, great ingenuity, great home made engine
That's fsckin' AMAZING man! Awesome!
Wow, that takes some real engineering. Looks like something from the early 1900's. Very cool.
Well, not "REAL" engineering, just some "engineering inside one`s own head"
His welding could be improved but all in all pretty sharp dude! Absolutely love it..
That bike looks very steampunk.
This is great for teaching purposes :) because all the mechanisms are very visible. It also has some disadvantages but it's for sure very interesting for students to study this also.
Very nice bit of work. It shows that you have a good understanding of the 4 stroke engine. Well done!
by far the best motorised bycicle ever made on yt anyway
Great engine! The best way to understand a 4 stroke engine is to see it in action! Sounds 1,0000 times better that a weed whacker motor!
LOL HALF A MILLION VIEWS WTF !
It's cool. That's what.
make any $$ of the views yet?
hope you have the video monetized
Nope.
Because Ronald Weasley
robinhooodvsyou Get your work monetized amd put a copyright label on it as well.
Very impressive. Reminds me of the developing technology of early 1900's when motors were being added to bicycles for what became motorcycles. But dude, you really need to wear a helmet to protect that formidable ingenuity between your ears!
Very nice, love the sound and the simplicity!!
Thats so amazingly clever!! I'm a mechanic so i appreciate how much time and effort you have put into this!!

Fantastic send me a how to too!
Wow i have a harley but i love the sound of
That toooo
How much would u need to sell me one?
it looks nicely made. Can you imagine what is inside his head ?
Mild autism is inside my head.
... and many ideas :)
Isn't that, to a slight degree, associated with being Finnish ? :D
I don`t know if there`s a general connection, but I remember reading about a finnish study that concentrated on the prevalence of aspergers syndrome in northern savonian families (a province in finland, not that far from where I live).
except breaks...this bike is currently lacking them for some reason
that must be hard on tyres but you can get special tyres that last longer, you are a genius to have made that amazing engine
Actually, it`s the size of the "roller" that largely affects the wear rate of a tire, I once had (still have a video of it) a similarly built bike which had a 20 cc weed trimmer engine and a 25 mm roller, as a result I could really tell how much the tire was worn just by looking at it.

still more mechanically advanced than a harley......
+gideon63 I've owned Harleys and still have a few.. my conclusion is of a Harley rider is this.... if you put enough chrome anything... it's good.
+gideon63 Same exhaust note.
+Big Boy Same ammount of power
you silly little girls.. lol always hating on Harleys because your mommies won't let you have one.. :-)
+poncoolride no they just suck ass lol crappy concept Id just rather a zoom splat.
yeah!
good engineer for a good free time.
¿Fuel Consumption per kilometer?
Yeah please that would be interesting to know =)
Its very similar to Velosolex motorized bycicles that were made in the 40, 50s. the factory made velosolex usually gave 65/70 km per litre.

Cool motor dude! Reminds me of the old hit and miss Fairbanks Morse motors....William Harley and Arthur Davidson would be proud!
Excellent, very excellent. My gawd I hope who ever put this together knows how smart they are, not many could even understand what you did. Very good job, very impressive
Well, I have mild autism and free time ; )
awesome, so simple.
how to lubricate piston and cam?
+Rivaldi Lambadoko Harahap I was thinking the same thing. The cam lobes will collect a lot of dust from the road back there and it will mix with the oil and make like a grinding paste on the cam lobes.
+Rivaldi Lambadoko Harahap I think it has a bearing like the one you would find on the crank of a steam engine and it would require similar attention.
+Rivaldi Lambadoko Harahap 7:43 there is an oil cup fixed to it.
+Rivaldi Lambadoko Harahap you mix the oil like 2 stroke
Please tell me how do you oil the piston, the eye of the connecting rod? i think you grease the connecting rod near to the crankshaft but what about the othe moving components?
I simply add oil to the fuel. and as it sprays everywhere lubricating the parts.
The connecting rod big end also has an oil cup feeding the bearing.
you have fuel spraying everywhere?
The work and thought put into this is amazing!
As I've always loved the saying, "The mother of invention is necessity".
You should be extraordinary proud of the concept an ingenuity that you put into this project. Absolutely incredibly engenius astonishing outcome. Please continue to experiment with your engineering mechanisms. As you have done here stay with the concept of keep it simple stupid.
You are an inspiration and good luck in your endeavors.
How does the crank stay lubricated?
Never mind, I see😂
the crank rod end is, still really wondering about the piston and other rod end....
Hmm🙁
Most rod's are feed oil from the crankshaft journal, a cross drilled passage, here, from the oil in the reservior can feed oil from the rod to the crankshaft, reverse of a normal internal combustion engine.
IS THAT A KALASHNIKOF? The sound is the same
it sounds like an ak?
+Donnovan Mason yeah ak-47 sound like this strange tuna box
THE SMOKER lol
+THE SMOKER Well it is a push rod engine...
I love the sounds it makes whether running or not!
Now go get some fenders, lights, primer and paint and finish this work of art!
This is incredible! Beautiful work, sir!
Probably fun to make, but it won't last as long as a snowball in helll without a way to oil itself.
It oils itself and it also oils my back when i ride it.
keep that valuable grey matter safe, wear a helmet please!
The mathematics of this are flawless. Every time VW barrels are used that's one more Beetle off the road.. Could you make a few using Citroen 2CV cylinders..? Please?
The low compression has made this work- it is a rare engineering gift of being able to see things in 3D before you have finished designing them. well done.
Thanks. I think citroen 2CV cars are pretty rare here in finland, so if I am to build any of these contraptions again I`ll probably stick to one of my VW cylinders.
And, I suppose I have some kind of engineering "gift", my mild autism makes it very easy to design mechanical things in my mind.
Absolute genius. Well done, lad.
Trafilla saattaa olla myös mielipide menopelistä :D
Senkun antaa olla vaan :D
Don't ever wear a scarf!!!
Our heavenly Father has given you a real gift. Thanks for sharing.
This is amazing. The skills required are many. I would love to see plans, build video...anything! Very inpiring. Thank you for sharing.
