- Here is some advise I have to give about buying a bike for a motorized bike build.
I also go over some tools that you should consider getting for your bike.
And remember guys, break-in is not just about the motor. The Kit's hardware, and the bike itself require a break-in / adjustment period.

Oh that Dog of mine. At this point, I think he is just showing of... lol
Lol yeah ,
Looks to me like you need a dog drawn carriage with two dogs seeming on how he out runs the path dragon. And on a side note. Did you ever go back and try to make contact with the owner of the dog you ran over. That cracks me up hearing the dog bark in slow motion...bbbaaaarrrrrkkkk bbbaaarrrkkk bbbbaaaarrrkkk.. Lol
lol ya the pup can pull hard. went back a few times, but never made contact.

Hey guys listen to hover and checkout ur bikes crank my crambrook crank came lose
"You're gonna need a chain-breaker, everyone knows that..." No. That's why I'm watching the video and making a list. Thanks much for all the tips!
Pro tip: if you strip out either the exhaust studs or the intake in the cylinder threads, you can run a 1/4"×20 tap straight into the holes without drilling first and then just get yourself some 1/4"×20 bolts and you're good to go!! I have done this more than once- even Chinesium is a little tougher than aluminum and it's quite easy to over-torque especially the exhaust. Make sure the cylinder is cooled off before trying to tighten any of that stuff too because it strips out way easier when hot!
I'm going to start sharing your videos on my Facebook page Southland gas bikes hope you don't mind but you are just a refreshing attitude at the motorized bicycle Community needs
Go for it :) And thanks!
Love the videos. Best in the motorized bike community.
Thank you so much for this video man, I learned a lot. I don’t know if you realize how great of a resource you are. I’m grateful to you for your effort to make videos that help so many people out and is still very enjoyable. The drone footage was really cool too.
the dog must love running with it because the speed and the noise rhythm of the 2 stroke engine will keep the dogs adrenaline flowing too
I got 2 safety belts for a car and added then inside the tyres between the tube and tyre helps stiffen the tyre and preventing punshers works like a charm
26 inch roadmaster granite peak
Nailed it! Congrats
@@LAHover I've got a yd100 also your gonna love it
Amazingly I put an engine on a rusty 25 year old bike and I replaced the tires but besides that the bike runs perfectly
Same with me I did it on a 20 year old Huffy mountain bike I replaced the rear break assembly and both tires and the rear wheel
I did mine on a 30 year old hard rock lmfao, it runs perfectly and I can get a top speed of 39.4 mph. I have a stock Zeda 80 firestorm on it
That is exactly how every drone video should end! Love your work!
Thanks for the tips. I plan on doing a conversion over the winter. Maybe sooner. I love the fact there are people like you to help out the beginner in the hobby.
I smell fule on my hands for the whole week lol

@@AdventuresWithEthan18 Gotta bathe in the gasolina
Great video and channel.... I like your style of demonstrating and explanations that you put out.... great job...!!!!!!
Nice video, beautiful bike, I like the attention to the wheels. I'm about to build one, thank you for the info.
We had about 3 inches of snow on the ground a day or two ago then supposed to be in the 60s today. Oh yeah just subbed yesterday. Thank you very much.
Legit simplification. As far as cheep frames go the Next Bayside from Wal-Mart is pretty damn good for a road cruiser. Very noob friendly in terms of fit and the A-arms have some boxyness that takes very well to the chain tensioner in a way that doesn't move like it does on round stock. Given you follow this checklist.
Also, save your blown tubes for rim liner.
Thanks! and good call on the Bayside.
I LOVE THE DRONE STOP ,HEY I BEEN LOOKING FOR THE VIDEO WERE YOU WENT THROUGH THE MOVING TRAIN
I think I have seen the video you are talking about. Not from me though, I wish it was!
@@LAHover VIDEO I HAVE IN MIND YOU WAS WITH POPS .HMM
Humm, well I can't remember ever flying next to a train... But we did ride on old train tracks, so I may have simply forgotten.
Great work!
Hey bro love the channel have had one of these before but never built my own i almost ordered the motoos kit but decided not to and went with the bbr kit from bike berry as you suggested hopefully i can get a nice ride going thanks again
Nice man! good luck with the build.
Roadmaster. My buddy has one just like it put a motor on for him but his still has all blue stickers on it...i like it ..its a tight little frame iv got the mongoose ..mack..mag wheels dual disc brakes... Also have a Raleigh m-200 ...
Excellent content🙂
That bike does look really good all black like that
Here in Mexico you can find bicycle shops that sell inexpensive quality parts for 26" mountain bikes. so you can find a really good frame and build your bike with beefy wheels and hubs.
Nice! That is always one of the things I hate doing, is searching the internet for good wheels that are not more expensive than the motor lol.
The almighty dremel! Seriously it's the most versatile and useful tool I've ever owned.
Henry is so awesome!
i bought a $621.5CAD($482.63 USD) tool socket set(metric and SAE) for $169.49 CAD($131.62 USD) what a steal of a price!!! stanley socket set lifetime warrenty! gonna get wrenches(metric and SAE) for 50% off(around $50 USD)next...waiting on a rain cheque.
U need front fork :D I give my motor on old Comunist Era Montain bike with classic fork and next time I would go for Suspension... But the bike I build looks like Veteran 1930 bike so Im good with it... But for comfort u need good modern fork... And If u dont have this type of fork and u have oldschool one put up seat with a springs. It will help significantly. Sry for English :D and Great video
Have you considered changing out the handle bars with beach cruiser bars and raising the saddle? So your not hunched over so much
The Schwinn Sidewinder would be there Perfect Bake if the triangle in the middle is just a tiny bit bigger. I've seen it done but it's a really tight fit definitely not putting a high compression head on it.
Looks like some rough riding, that's how I snapped my frame on both side, broke my fender mount and broke my basket supports. Don't get a huffy Nel Lusso cruiser if your gonna be off roading because they're made of alluminum. Look for a steel frame and save yourself the headache of swapping bikes to return a junker.
You can use zipties as a reference point to true a wheel.
i had to cut off a chunk off my frame and havent had a problem and ive driven it about 200 miles now
hey, i’ve got addicted to motor bikes for about a month or two, i have tried my friends flying horse engine on a walmart cruiser and he was offering to sell it to me for 200 dollars. i was wondering if u think that a good idea. also i wanted to ask u what the ideal combo is. like what’s the best engine kit to buy and what’s the best bike for that engine(under 500$ budget). anyways i love watching your videos and your the best creator on youtube i have found on these bikes. and i love just watching you zoom down the fire road type trails.
200 for a working bike is a good deal, if it's not all beat up a rigged at least... I have yet to find a bike motor combo that is spot on without upgrads/mods. But the huffy cranbrook is the best budget bike that is motor friendly so far. Thick spokes, coaster break clears the sprocket, wide triangle for any motor, 26" wheels make upgrades and transportating easy, can install rim breaks, steel frame, really nice seat.
LA Hover, thanks so much for replying! Since the bike is a cruiser. Would install suspension firms be the best way for it to handle off road. What do you think
A zeda triple 40 or a pk80 triple 40 are great engines under $200 .... if you use the stock exhaust you may want to modify the muffler by adding holes on the bottom cap or install a performance muffler.... I’ve had great luck with those 2 engines
Get a $96 dollar steel beach cruiser from Google shopping. They're called like a three-seven or something
i like this birds near your house) sounds like in pc game)
So many convertibles on the streets ... of such a rainy place! ;-)
Did you just push the grip shifter in? I flip them to other side or use bar extensions. But pushing it in seems like a great simple idea
Ya, on past builds when I thought I would still use it allot I also flipped it to the left... But after a while I just set it and forget it.
I’ve had nothing but bad luck with the style of rubber joints set up for the rear wheel sprocket.... I use a cnc 3 piece 1.5” hub assembly.... I’ve now use nothing but aluminum mag wheels.... trouble free
that free music sounds a lot like Robert Miles - Children cover of some sort
How's that Roadmaster holding up. I wouldn't think to use one of those but the frame geometry looks spot-on.
The way I ride it lol... Might not last long :P but so far it's holding strong. Last video we uploaded we pounded it good and hard with the yd100
so glad i have mag wheels on my mongoose mack
what is the size of spark plug tool? 16-18mm or 18-21mm?
i know its the same bike i have nothing but the granite peak its a great bike the tires lasted a whole 300 miles but the rest of the bike has been good except for the wheel spliting but thats because of the brakes
I just got lucky as my 12 dollar ebay rear deraileur is gonna work after my drunken wipe out took out my nice sun tour. Also i just realized i can get the chain to frame clearance from a washer and i don't have to try to shave the rubber spocket gasket. And my wheel wont be at a slight angle anymore. Im so smrt
How fast did you get up to ?? We never see you going that fast ...cant wait to see the YD...
I'll do a GPS pull asap, but It sure felt like It hit 30mph. I have missed that little Zeda, so nice to have it running again!
@@LAHover oh yea I'm sure it was going faster than 30 ...i ride everyday around 36-40is were I ride with the traffic and you sure look like you were there and the sound of it too ...oh yea I meant to say it earlier...i watch a lot of bike stuff on TH-cam and you do have the best bike channel hands down brother
Your one sided sprocket is what Causing your wheel to become untrue you could get the clamp on to the hub directly instead of the spokes that will solve rear wheel problems
Hello I have just put a motor on my bike and it idles realy high when I pull in the clutch what could that be vacuum leak mabye?
Yes could be. Could also be that you use way too much oil in your fuel mix
I have the same bike with the same Motor
Quick questin I just built a bike but it’s only got 6 speeds but only one on the crank . Should I keep it that way ?
I would. I much prefer to have a single crank sprocket. It's less mess, and more reliable.
so if I have tools for every single part of my bicycle, can replace and adjust every bearing, rebuild a wheel and true it so it doenst go out of true by having proper tension on the spokes, I am good to go for mounting an engine on it? But like what tools does the engine itself require?
Sorry for the late reply. For the most part you are good. I would keep a spark plug socket (the light one that comes with the motor is fine), extra plug, fuel line, pliers, crescent wrench, a few master links and/or half links, zip ties/velcro, drivers, a 10mm, and epoxy putty.
@@LAHover thank you
No idea maybe a Raleigh? I'm waiting on a last few bits before I dive in. My build bike is an ALUMINUM one but i plan on tracking down a steel one to swap it into .
My older trail bike is a Raleigh, but not this one. Good try :) and good luck on your build!
@@LAHover thanks I will be doing a build review of this project. It will be used like a trail cruiser. I have an old railway (kettle valley railway in bc )that is now used as part of an off road hike bike quad snowmobile trail. Perfect for what I want it for . Just cruising.
th-cam.com/video/Azh9Bl9Qgn0/w-d-xo.html heres a start of it 👍🏻
I'm running an alpha aluminum Trek 3700, works fine, but I did end up drilling the down tube for front mount
@@mattdwyer9432 in my how to IKEA type plans they said not to do that as it increases the chance of a catastrophic failure of the frame. I switched from my Alum Raleigh to a huffy built beach cruiser. th-cam.com/video/ic_96PClvO0/w-d-xo.html
I'm having some issues where's my carburetor it's like when you're going about 40 miles an hour it hesitate and I'm trying to figure out why
Jerad Yancey it needs a bigger jet, or it could need a smaller jet just experiment
Okay cool I'll try that and see what it does
Hi mate wot do you think about taking the muffler cap off the standard muffler is it bad for the motor i have noticed it a bit faster
As far as I know it won't hurt anything but your ears. Should give it a good kick, but also turns it into cop bait.
A 1/4" hole in the cap will give it a nice boost without screaming.
@@LAHover ok awesome mate thanks for quick reply im nearer perth western Australia hope its not to late over there one more quick question ive got a spare motor which didnt work when it arrived cause magneto wasn't tight i have fix it now but when i drop the clutch it takes abit to ingag i think it was because i kept trying to start it can i tighten the clutch without taking casing apart
Hey La, i have a HBC cruiser cheap bike that i ordered off amazon but they carry at Walmart when the bike came and i put the rag joint on the rear axle and coaster break were all jacked up i finally got it on but im still not shure it it is right could you talk about breaks or do a video explaining thanks man!
Are you having one, some, or all of the following issues?
Breaks locked up?
Breaks not working/or not working well?
wheel not spinning free (bearings to tight)?
Wheel / axle, bearings are to lose?
issues pedaling (sloppy engagement)?
Or something else?
@@LAHover brake works but not well i was thinking though its been about 20 years since i rode a coaster brake i remember jamming on brakes and sliding my bike sideways maybe they are just struggling to stop with a 250 lb grown man rather than a 100 lb kid ???
@@derrickcarroll4932 If a lack of breaking power is your only issue, you may have grease between the shoes and the drum/hub.
Sometimes this will go away over time. Other than that you can disassemble the hub and clean the hub & shoes... Sadly this means you may have to remove the sprocket.
Personally I would rather install rim breaks than go through that.
@@LAHover thanks man yeah i prolly will do that cause they are easier to me
only tool you need is a Philips/Flat head screw drive, 15mm,14mm.12mm,11mm 10mm, and finally a 8mm sockets with socket wrench "recommend deep sockets" 14mm,11mm, 10mm and 8mm wrench. also recommend to keep high quality both metric and US standard Helex keys, and an Adjustable wrench on hand. And, get a small fabric tool bag. and one last thing always keep a small hammer in the tool bag. the things i found to go wrong with these bikes all happen to me so far... MAKE SURE YOU KEEP HIGH QUALITY TOOLS!! cheap ones will strip out your bolts and nuts... trust me!! but those my recommendations....
most of the issues are going to be the back end of the bike lol
Road master 26 inch wheel. I have one😄
Hello !, I have a question i notice on that particular bike you used !, you have two brake lever on the left side ,, how you did that and why two brake lever on left side?.
Hello, The 2nd lever on the left (the silver one) is the clutch lever. For now I have it there while I am waiting for a dual break lever so I can put both breaks on the right side. It was as simple as sliding off the grip and sliding on the lever. Here is the one I will be using.

@@LAHover just got mine yesterday. I hope it works as advertised
Some people will stack both of their brake levers on the right side of the handle bars so that both can be operated with your right hand. Other people will stack one of there brakes under the clutch, and the other on the right side. And then if you want to get real fancy, they make a brake lever that accepts two cables, which makes life a whole lot easier.
@@dominickrecupero273 WOW...
@@PlayingWithFireOutdoors I have two (+ this new one) and I love em! Solid and simple.
The frame is a supercycle or a ccm.. looking at the handlebars and gear shifter
Roadmaster Granitepeak, but thanks for guessing. It's junk but I still use it lol :)
what sprocket you mostly run on your trail bikes?
Honestly the stock 44 tooth is find for most of my trails on any 26" wheel. It's less of a hassle to install. But for the muddy trails, and sandy paths where you just want to grunt through and get dirty, I love the 56 tooth.
@@LAHover I can't find a seller which can deliver the 56 tooth sprocket to my country and i am so annoyed :(
What brand bike are you using?
Patrick guessed it. It's a Roadmaster Granite Peak
As far as the bike guess a toastmaster granite peak men's bike
Ah yes, the might Toastmaster :D ... lol but you are correct!
Guess i got lucky as i was just driving home and found a free vintage mongoose 15 speed mountain bike with a chrome frame and all i had to do was file the crank arms a hair to clear the case and i was on the road
I just finished salvaging an old Cranbrook we found in a ditch. :) Video should be up in a few days if you like to see old bikes brought back to life.
@@LAHover my dream is to have a vintage motorcycle shop. Fix n sell, saving history and making money doing something i love to do.
RoadMaster Granite Peak 🤙
That frame held up nicely for a few months. Until I hit a ditch and bent the forks :P I liked it, and will probly build another.
Kind of looks like a Roadmaster bike only because I have a few. Assuming its not but just a guess.
So far so good, It is a Roadmaster :)
Indestructible bikes. They have outlasted any other bike I have bought for my kids in the last 5 years. (although they will rust out quickly if not protected from the elements) I am re purposing one for a motor build but would like to put on a suspension seat post, better seat, and get a longer handlebar stem or different handlebars to mimic my hybrid bike. I haven't figured out if being more upright is better or worse for one of these. I'll have to do some research. It looks like you took off the decals, looks a lot better.
Slick wet roads?
Roadmaster Granite Peak
Pulled the ratchet and start it with the oil filter.thank
You want the linier brakes and you mid as well buy enough pads for them to fill a Lil back pack trust me you wanna be able to stop and there the eisiest to do with a moter I found
I don't recommend higher end bikes, 2 reasons, first was stated in video why chop an expensive one. Second is they do not hold up ant better guys , they crack in the same places in the same time frame, my avatar is a 28 yr old frame, other stuff has been changed bearings mainly, rims, brake pads, oh man brake pads shread the alloy rims fast, groove them.
On my second build now just hunting for a frame or bite the bullet and get one of those frame in tank units
It’s a Ent Granite Peak
Its It's a 24 inch aluminum roadmaster frame
But what a great dog
What kinda quad you flyin'?

What's your DFMPG? (Dog Following Miles Per Gallon) XD
I'd say the bike is a 26 inch Road Master
I save my clutch pads by pedaling abit at first then letting the clutch slowly and keep going (im 13years old lol)
Don't worry about them to much. I have only replaced pads once in 4 years. And that was only because they had grease on them...

@@LAHover I'm in NOLA
I'm still trying to figure out how to put a tank on the back with saddlebags
first upgrade should be a hub adapter
I disagree. I think they have their place, but I do not recommend them as a first upgrade. Nor do I recommend them to a new builder. Bikes with 1" hubs should avoid them, as well as builds with larger sprockets.
They work well on coaster break hubs, and bikes with small sprockets.
the frame is a roadmaster granite peak male
i am 15 and have the same frame for my motor bike and if anyone is considering to buy a motor i would say go for it but be aware some clutches will wear out really out really fast and i would recommend you go on amazon and search " bicycle motor clutch pads" they are super easy to replace they pop out and pop in you might need to sand or file the sides down a little bit so the go in all the way.
I completely removed the pedal shit for weight reduction
