Amazing Lawn Mower Motorized Bike (Part 2/2)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2020
- Well boys and gals we finished the lawn mower motorized bike. This motorbike functions using an angle drive to convert the vertical rotation of the lawn Mower engine into a horizontal output to drive the rear wheel. I took it off road and despite needing a new tail-bone it functioned very nicely, not quite a dirt bike but oh well. Anyway If you like this project be sure to check out the channel for more motorized bikes, dirt bikes, go karts, gas scooters, motorcycles, quads, atv's and a crap ton of other stuff!

The more you build, the more I get inspired to finally build something myself. Always wanted to do stuff like this as a kid, but either didnt have access to tools or lacked parental support.
do it! I was building dog poo when I first started, Still am!
Why don’t you use a small centrifugal clutch? It would simplify the build and your engine wouldn’t stall out all the time.
Because that's too logical. And I like belts drives n' stuff!
Yeahh what the guy said 🙄

David Wichner im Jet Tofte on AZ minibikers. We have talked a couple times. Nice
@@azoff-road1911 hahahah whats sup i didnt expect this 😅😆
Nice!! Find a way to add a heavyer flywheel and it will solve your stall/torque issue. In the lawnmower, the blade acts as a flywheel gathering inertia overcoming stall.
Yes. Also, a set of rings. But, a Briggs 3 hp will fit that fine. They are very heavy.
Well it also has a flywheel on top, which has the blower fins on it, and the magnets for the magneto.
"I look like a crazy..." while having a lawn mower bike frankenstein in the back, I think you do more than just look. Love the vids.

I got this vid 09/16/2020 as TH-cam recommended. It's a masterpiece. Good to see that YT didn't recommend me way too late , just 3 days.
Cheers buddy! Thanks for watching
I appreciate your all your hard work and effort and engineering skills great job!
Back in 1968 I built my first motorbike with a horizontal shaft 4 horsepower engine . I used 12 inches of angle iron and 2 u bolts to bolt to the frame. Centrifical belt clutch and one wizard rear pulley on a 26in wheel.
No welder, no cutting the bicycle frame ,no high-tech tools just me in the 6th grade building a motorbike that went about 35 to 40 miles an hour.
Sometimes a simpler design is less complicated and less breakdowns.
That's great for a 6th grader! I was just a flashlight holder for my dad, didn't actually get to use any of the tools. Stuff didn't interest me till after I stopped talking to him. He made me feel disinterested in understanding or working on things bc it was never fun. Now I love building and watching stuff like this
@@Freebyrd1991 " after you stopped talking to him" ?
finally someone put an old briggs mower engine to good use
I use mine to cut grass 😂
I would put that same system in a go kart. If its and old enough one, you'll have a metal cam and not a plastic one, so you'd be able to put a little weld on it and make a ghetto performance cam. I learned that from Cars and Cameras on TH-cam
Cross country trip? Just add a fancy fuel tank backpack!
Stepping up your game with the tubing bender....
No doubt!
I watched part one last night and I was hoping you would drop part to soon glad to see you back with another awesome 1 of a kind build keep up the awesome work and thanks for your service
haha good timing! thank you for watching
A spontaneous piece of motorized sculpture!
Your innovation is so amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Your problem solving skills are impressive! Your new tools seem to be in a very good home.
You're a gifted mechanical genius!
Very interesting, love how mechanical it is. Nice work
It would be neat to run two separate belt drives next to one another with two different pedals, that way you could have one geared more for speed and the other for off-road torque.
Hey man sweet build turned out real nice! Great to c them vertical shafts getting sum love. Cant wait for the next one! 👍🤘
Ha yeah don't see many youtube builds them huh!
Nice video. I like how you keep it realistic, and not to crazy. This is something most people could do in their garage. Keep up the good work 💪
I appreciate that!
"It's an Oliver, from back in 2021". "Dang Pa, they sure knew how to make 'em".
Awesome build, first time seeing a belt clutch on one of these, seems like a great idea and easier way to make a manual clutch than fabricating a whole transmission.
Glad you liked it!
It’s at least the second one he’s done! Dude where are you videos?!?
Your creativity always puts a smile on my face, thanks Oliver you are the man and as always "Howdy from Texas "!!
Cheers Greg, thanks for the continued support!
Ty for posting again man. Now in this time of age youtubers make bank and you have awesome content. Can't wait to see them subs climb like craY
Nice job! I love those Briggs engines.
That was a nice build. You got skills! Enjoyed the show.
Yes! A plasma cutter table, & a tubing bender, plus a nicely laid out tool & compressor area, pure genious, money well spent. I loved the nice, clean gusset assembly under the engine. 2 suggestions, go back to the bigger belt driven pulley & find a carb with an idle adjustment you can open up to richen the transition from idle to midrange. That single speed carb just cannot handle the transition, it is simply to lean. Hack on a little carb from GoPowrrSports, like a mikuni clone. Get their suggestions. That very shaft has much fiber manners in it's future! Again, welcome back Sir 😎. Your quality of work has greatly improved & you're still entertaining, congrats!
Fix bad sentence: That vertical shaft engine has much finer manners in it's future
Thanks Paul for the suggestion! Sounds like I need a new carb and a flywheel
I love those food pedals. The mechanism looks cool. Nice
Thinking out of the box! Awesome.
That's the idea!
My dad and I place a lawn mower engine on top of an old boat engine mid section and lower unit. Made a new drive shaft with a 9/16 universal socket for a u-joint. great running little motor wish I still had it and a few pictures.
Nice! That's what's cool about posting to youtube, It's just a time-capsule of all my projects
Just glad to see you back love the engineer keep it up
Thanks Dean!
Your mower engine has an aluminum flywheel due to the blade being the centrifugal force for three of the four strokes. You need a cast iron flywheel from a horizontal shaft motor or make a weight to attach to the crank to take the place of the cast iron.
I haven't watched in awhile, lots of great new shop tools.
Welcome back!
Wow very nice coming up on some nice tools for the shop great build.
For sure!
Awesome build
love the videos, glad you started making them again
Glad to hear it!
Very cool project! Excellent work
Thank you for watching!
Interesting build. The belt drive reminds me of a 40s gibson tractor. Please please fit a spark arrestor!
TH-cam recommended this. Glad it did! Nice build! 👍 For taking some junker parts and throwing them together, it came out really well! Taking pictures and slapping them into fusion 360 definitely helps. It's my go to method. If you have a ruler in the picture, you can also "calibrate" (scale) the picture to that ruler and then just draw up what you want and it'll be to the correct scale. Just make sure the camera perpendicular to the surface. Got yourself another subscriber! 😎
I liked before I even saw the episode, love ya man, and as always you know "Howdy from Texas "!!
Right on! Thanks Greg!
Glad you're getting vendor support. You deserve it. Keep building your imagination.
Thanks man!
Awesome!! I love it!!
Cleanest project so far, really like it good job
Appreciate it!
Thank you very much Oliver! Well done.
Keep it up and I wish you health.
Sincerely,
Alicia
Thank you Alicia!
Respect from Portland oregon. Keep the projects coming.
👌🇺🇲👌🇺🇲👌
Thanks Jimmy!
Lawnmowers have a blade that is mounted directly to their PTO this means they can be made with lighter flywheels. If you changed the flywheel out from one off of a pressure washer that was weighted it would probably function better.
Thanks for the tip
I like the foot pedal clutch
It needs a clutch lol good job!!
Great video and I love how you designed the engine bracket. Very fast and efficent! Also i see new equipment? The shop looks great!!
Thanks! lots of new equipment!
Hey good afternoon, congratulations on the awesome engineering behind your project. The innovation involved in this old-style bike is quite astounding :)
Be advised that your vertical shaft engine probably has no ball bearings... you could add a 6205 bearing or similar to the mounting flange if you want to :)
Also the clutch setup is not ideal for a single cylinder engine. In case you want to improve the take-off behavior, you need to increase flywheel mass. So the engine doesn't cut out that easily when the clutch is engaged. Greetings and good tinkering.
Mr. Kim here and you sure are talented well you just keep going
you are so talented
You picked the right engine if you wanted to show creativity and craftsmanship, but I most state the if you wanted practicality and simplicity going with horizontal shaft would had been the perfect choice. Nice 👌
Be safe man, I’m in northern Oregon and the smokes been bad. Love the builds and one day would love to ride man!
This is the definition of a Lone rider riding his cool motorcycle like a badass.
ha Thanks bud
Great to see you back, Oliver! It looks like you are really stepping up to the next level with CAD, plasma table, and the tubing bender. Can you do a video of your shop and all the cool stuff you have in it tool-wise? I am particularly interested in that tubing bender.
Maybe sometime in the future I'll do a shop overview! In the meantime, the tubing bender is a Rogue Fab -- lots of you tubers have done reviews I'm sure a quick search will turn up a bunch lol. Thanks!
Try adding a torque converter or use the principal to make a manual ratio changer. Have it operated by your right foot. Use your left hand for brakes. Maybe fancy led lights all over it too!!! It’s kewl!!
festive sent me. this is all fun!
Nice build !
Thanks!
You did a great job.I like the 3D printer you have.
Thanks Sam, it comes in handy!
The smoke out here is insane where I live as well! Stay safe, make sure you/ your family has a plan!
Thank you, you too!
You win the mechanical look award :) I think it weighs as much as my Harley too ;)
That bike is awesome 👍.
A few mor gussets at the head and around the seat tube wouldn't hurt. Fantastic engineering with that vertical shaft motor. It has to be a first. 🏆
Cheers! thanks for the comment. I think you're right about the gussets
Oliver Motorized - Yeah, lotsa stress on that frame.
Oliver I love your stuff, but when I saw part 1 of this video I expected you'd have problems due to mower engines having MUCH lighter flywheels (mower blade provides the inertia)
Looks like you do have a bit of a problem with getting rolling when you first let in the clutch (in the video where you say "not enough torque")
Might be able to get an iron flywheel from a vertical shaft Briggs pressure washer or similar.
You are right! The lack of a flywheel means there is less momentum to help sustain engine rotation while depressing the clutch. Hmm... maybe I'll rob one off a Briggs like you said.
Thanks for the insight Kurt!
@@OliverMotorized Told ya ;)
I see you have acquired and upgraded many new tools. Very nice.
sure did! thanks
Fantastic little build! What is the “junkyard piece” you mentioned in the last video that made the vertical shaft engine usable for this application????
Man, cool video... greetings from zimbabwe🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Hey, thanks!
I had one similar to your setup added another pulley to tighten the belt so when you pushed yours it would get even tighter
I love this. If you made it so that the pedal increased the throttle as you push on it, it would almost be like a vct system
Your builds are always unique and interesting. Glad to see you back to full fill my boring life 😂 .
Thanks Nick!
This thing is sick maybe you can put a riding lawn mower motor on 1 of the chopper bicycles next. I like how you got this running and wanna use this idea on a different size or mini bike to ride places.
Nice army tan tee :)
Glad your back man. Not very much content like this on yt.
Like narration or stop and explain? Thanks for the feedback, Honestly!
Oliver Motorized I really enjoy the explaining what you are doing and giving us something to keep us listening. I don’t mind the montages but this vid had quite a few (don’t take me too seriously man) so glad you are back
Hillbilly Homeboy nah it’s ok I appreciate all the feedback I get. I kept this in mind with my latest video, so thank you.
Love the vids
thanks!
You're back!!
I'm back!
What did you use to change the crankshaft power from vertical to horizontal? Like what thing did you use to change the crankshaft to go the right way? I’m looking for one
You’re like my spirit brother! Lol. I do the same goofy stuff! If you haven’t figured it out yet, the vert Briggs has an aluminum lightweight flywheel that doesn’t do well without the weight of a rotating mower blade. This is likely contributing to the stalling. The iron flywheel from literally any 2hp to 4hp horizontal Briggs will fit right in without any changes and will solve much of your issues. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Yup many have mentioned the flywheel issue, Thanks for the info though!
Question : Since usually a mower engine uses the blade as a flywheel and without it the engine won't even start, what did you do to fix it ? ...simply the inertia of 90 deg. gearbox is enough ?
Good one! There's More engines from lawnmowers with more power maybe you could try some more. Greetings!
I got an 8hp begging to be put on somethn lol
@@OliverMotorized amazing! I work as a mechanic of lawnmowers here in Chile, if you ever need some info or help, please write me mariojv95@gmail.com
It would be awesome!
Wow omg that is sooo cool wooow
Love it
Dude you have so much potential, and some awesome tools... it feels like your just messing about.
I enjoy the projects I do!
Yeah I get it, but I think you are capable of a lot more.... maybe in the future you can design your own bike.... 👍🏻 Take it easy buddy.
That's a pretty kewl set-up.I thought,'Don't all frames start out as pipe dreams'?(went there)
har har my friend
I wouldn’t be able to let my nuts flap in the breeze just quite so close to that ramshackle jackshaft like that. You really could end up with a jacked shaft. Truly inventive work you did throughout this project. Now I’ve seen what’s required, I don’t think that I’ll be making any vehicles from the old lawnmower anytime soon!
I think you have bigger problems if your nuts are flapping that low. Just kidding! Thanks for watching !
great man great videos I love them Y😄👍👍
Glad you like them!
Keep making more great vids👍👍
Haven't seen the first part yet? Check it out here --> th-cam.com/video/pSS5GUiuFvQ/w-d-xo.html
There it is. Oliver is back. Great vids.
Listen brah you got the belt guard now how about some safety glasses?
You wear a mask while cutting and grinding but no eye protection.
There's very little flying around your shop softer than an eyeball.
5 to 10 bucks apiece at your home center... or mosey into your local eyeglass store and get 3 mm ANSI rated safety lens popped into some Buddy Holly looking frames.
A handsome guy like you can only look rad in those.
Your young, you have a long life ahead. Let's tey to get to the end with all parts intact.
40 years heavy construction here. Retired with both eyes, tho a bit deaf but with all my fingers and toes
Not criticizing, just a question.... Instead of that awkward foot pedal, why not just spring load the tensioner and use a hand lever to loosen the belt when pulled, like a motorcycle clutch? Awesome build!
That thing could use some rings, man. Also, take the head off, use a wire wheel to clean up the carbon for everything, put a new spark plug in it, and run it. You'll end up doing it anyway If you rebuild it. Trust me, you won't regret it. It wont die when you take off, either.
I'm sure it needs all those things, but also I agree with many other comments that the lack of a flywheel is what was causing it to stall so easily
@@OliverMotorized yes. I think I replied to someone's comment on that subject. I said that a flywheel off a Briggs and Stratton 2 hp or 3hp would work great. They are about twice as heavy.
If you add a small flywheel to the out put shaft, it might help on the take off
Yesss
I have a Molkt 26mm flat slide carb from Amazon. $30. In my vertical shaft motorcycle and it makes a massive performance difference.
hmm I may have to upgrade
I wouldn’t do a predator 212cc horizontal shaft I would imagine it would’ve been way easier if f a build and maybe better performance as well but it’s pretty cool to see a bike that’s ran by a vertical shaft
yeah I've made plenty of bikes with predators, just doing something outa-the-box. Thanks.
OLIVER YOU'RE BACKKKK
Yessir!
@@OliverMotorized welcome back keep up the awesome content, keep making weird stuff it's great🤣
All those sweet tools and you don't have a roller chain breaker? Nice job, very creative design.
haha my old one broke
@@OliverMotorized ha you broke the breaker. Sorry I had to. Nice bender too, I hope to get one soon.
On a vertical shaft engine designed for a lawn mower, the spinning blade acts as a flywheel so without it, there is little to no inertia built up untill the engine is at higher revs so this is why the bike keeps stalling when the belt is initially engaged.
I noticed you like doing things the hard way. Or is it spend as little as possible? Your fun to watch for sure.
ha a little of both I suppose, Thanks!
What type of welding is that? Looks incredibly useful and fairly easy
Hey do you ever have issues with tires because of the extra load? I’m looking to build a motor bike using a riding mower engine and wanted to know if stock rims and tires would hold up, thank you for reading.
Hi Jacob, I’ve had issues with other bikes where the spokes pop out and the axle bent but that was with a 125cc dirt bike engine so it had a lot of torque compared to this bike. But if you are using a riding mower engine I would say you would want beefier wheels and axles for sure.
Need a snowmobile clutch set up on rear pulley..or check out Rzr motor. Nice welding !
Thanks for the tip!
What is that transfer case you're using. That changes it from horizontal shift to vertical shaft?
Is that from a trolling motor?
Super!!!
