you say "we" used part of the old gas take bracket" who is "we" you mean you ? just say you i hate when people say we like its a bunch of people in ur garage helping you ..."we" all know you have no friends
In the video I heard your comment about having been welding for about ten years and the welding isn’t getting and better. I was a welder. In 1982 I went to City College in San Diego, on the G I Bill, and took a 9 month combination welding course. Since then, I’ve worked in repair shops, fabrication shops, for ship repair companies repairing and modifying Naval vessels, bult structural parts for commercial buildings, and built pressure vessels for the oil and gas industry. In addition, I was Training Coordinator for an innovative welding machine manufacturer teaching welding supply salesmen and women how to get the arcs out of those machines. Getting beautiful welds does take skill and knowledge but, in my opinion, this can be acquired and learned. For the work that you do, thin steel tubing, fairly light gauge brackets, and the like is a specialized area. Like all welding, joint and material preparation are key. A proper joint almost insures a good looking weld. This and the best process for the work at hand. Chrome Moly Tubbing for aircraft frames, and bicycles, are still welded with oxy-acetylene welding. A slow, but exacting process. Some brackets and components are Brazed. So, I’m here to tell you, your welds can improve in quality and appearance but only if you focus on the process and quality aspects of each joint and material. You didn’t ask. I hope this was helpful and encouraging.
Those spokes are so strong to take the power of an 11hp engine ripping at them, and the holes in the top tube wont weaken the frame at all. It was fun watching the build though.
Very cool. If I didn’t have a wife three kids and two dogs to worry about I’d be a lot more like you building cool stuff with my time. Definitely enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
I tried this a few years ago and it didn't end well . I used a universal 50cc motor and it wasn't powerful enough. I don't have all the equipment you have . Excellent 👍
How on earth do you only have 44.6k subs? You deserve so much more than that. Ive been subbed for years and i personally think you should be over 100k.
This is a really cool project! For the love of everything motorized buy some PPE. You eyes and welds will thank you. Harbor freight hood gets the job done
As a kid in the 70's I put a 15hp Briggs & Stratton motor from an old Sears SS15 tractor on a Rupp RST100 mini bike we found in a junkyard. Having motor cycle type wheels and brakes made it easy but we didn't have any fancy clutch, we just did a direct drive with a #41 chain and a huge front sprocket. We'd push start it and hang on. That thing would bring tears to your eyes as it got up to speed. We never clocked it but figure about a 24t to 36t sprocket drive on a 24-25" od rear wheel. About half throttle was about as fast as any of us got it going, the knobby tires would shake something terrible at higher speeds and the brakes were about useless on that thing. We had to fix the rear suspension when we fitted the motor because of chain interference, we just replace the rear shocks with two pieces of bed frame angle iron. We tossed the tiny fuel tank for one off a Honda CL100. I think we were about 10 when we did that so we were also light which made it even faster. After a few times getting chased by the cops on the freeway on it I traded it for a proper bike, with brakes, an older Yamaha xs750 with no paperwork that we turned into a trail bike of sorts instead.
My dad bought us a monkey wards 125 riverside motorcycle in the 70s where I worked at in the auto dept, we made some non power go karts as kids, been wanting to make a gas motor bike, great project brother
11hp and CVT, I can’t wait to see this on the highway, you will be passing cars! Some RedKote will take care of that tank. The build looks awesome, please wear a helmet 👍
Awesome stuff, that thing is gonna move lol. Would love to see some more builds with gears! Manual shifting is always a ton of fun; but i can sure appreciate the simplicity of a torque converter!
yes agree! This old motor seems like it deserves some sort of manual transmission. I'll stick with torque converter for now, and maybe in the future ill figure something else out
great work, I like that you almost always use a pretty much regular bicycle and turn it into something very cool and extraordinary, I will say (not that you don't already do this) but make sure you tighten the bolts on the rear sprocket adapter all the way and use locktight, I made a schwinn occ chopper bicycle with a 125cc 4 speed and the torque of the motor broke the spokes on the rim but I see you used a heavier duty rear wheel good job.
Glad you're back at the 2-wheeled contraptions. I've enjoyed all your previous builds. Do you end up keeping them or finding them new homes when you're done?
Very cool!! I would have used a motorcycle frame though. I would have saved a lot of trouble....and lost half the fun!! I wonder if it could be done with a driveshaft? I am thinking BMW or Zundapp.
Way more expensive, heavy, bulky and really wouldn't save that much headache considering most motorcycle engines mount from the sides or back instead of bottom.
That looks like a lot more work than my brother and his friend did to get my even older brother's 1950's motorbike running again. We ran it at the old Mitchell Field Air Force Base in the 1960's. We started with a 1HP Clinton and later went to a 2HP Briggs and Stratton. I still have the engine. The bike frame was stolen.
@@OliverMotorized Then you'll love this. This happened sometime in the late 60's. That brother and friend that did a lot of work and spent some money to get that motorbike running split up and divided the bike up. My brother took the Briggs and the friend got the frame. I think my brother should have taken the frame as that was the one that got all the work done on it. The friend put another engine on it and was riding it near his neighborhood when some random teen asked if he could ride it. He rode it, to parts unknown.
I got a snowblower in my shed from the 90s my father barely used it, I’m not sure the size of motor but it’s the good one of it’s day, I want to get a welder and build a mini chopper
I have the same respirator. I got it from my daughter and it has filters more suited for medical use (I think). There are many different filters that fit, but I'm not sure which ones to get. What do you use?
the lines of the frame turned out well. To help your welding invest in a quality mask from a welding store. you can see way better and its not so dark. From a metal fab guy and welder for 20 years. just found your channel. subbed.
They still make this engine im pretty sure. Its appears to be a licensed clone of a briggs and stratton model 14, 19, 23 series engine. They are still made in 3rd world countries as "16hp I/C" engines
@OliverMotorized New old stock and new parts are available and pretty plentiful for a 75 year old engine.. (Edit) I took the liberty of doing a bit more research. It appears these are a unlicensed Brazilian build copy of the briggs model 23. With a few differences, they were built due to a onan company business venture in Brazil that started in 1970 and ended in 1980. Your in Canada right? I don't think they could legally se them into the US because briggs was still making them.
It doesn't matter what your welds look like, as long as they hold, it's really hard to make a nice weld, you see without co2 and with the flux core, so get yourself a co2/mix welder if yours can't do both.
Very Nice!......I'd Go With A Lowered Pan Seat With 2 Shocks For Comfort & The Schwinn Chopper Style Handle Bars....Would Look Like An Old Board Track Racing Bike...JS.
Hope you like the Project! let me know what you'd like to see in the next part.
Cool project. Thanks. Do you think that motor is too much for the frame?
I’d like to see you build a Chopper from the ground up or turn a motorcycle into a chopper
You should try an electric bicycle build after this
I wanna see u try and make a amazon 2 stroke motorized bicycle kit as fast as u can turbo supercharger porting windowed piston reeds it could be cool
you say "we" used part of the old gas take bracket" who is "we" you mean you ? just say you i hate when people say we like its a bunch of people in ur garage helping you ..."we" all know you have no friends
thats going to be a beast
sure is!

thanks for the info! It's definitely just lack of due diligence on my part as well.
With 11hp and a torqaverter, this is easily a a 60 to 70mph capable machine. Changing final drive ratios will accomplish that. Great build!
I wouldnt wanna do that
11HP will EASILY do 80mph with the gearing right with that low weight
Some disc brakes would be a good idea. Another great build. 👍
that's the plan!
I'm so glad you're still building motorized bicycles
Same here!! 🙌✨️💪
Same here! ✨️🙌💪
Yea.. Except it's NOT a bicycle, he turned it into a Motorcycle. Motorcycle framing, motorcycle chain and sprockets. It's no longer a bicycle.
Too fun! Looks like a project I should tackle over the winter :) .. Looking for Ep. #2 next .. Fun
Great job! Your builds get better every time.
thanks!
Love it Oliver! Good to see you again! Thanks for serving Sir! Peace.
so badass never get tired of watching these
Damn good build! I enjoyed it all keep em' coming
Nice video Oliver! Your bike is looking awesome, good looking frame layout 😊👍
thanks mike!
Those spokes are so strong to take the power of an 11hp engine ripping at them, and the holes in the top tube wont weaken the frame at all. It was fun watching the build though.
Awesome, Ollie!
Always love your work, and VIDEOS, AND EDITING!.
👍
Appreciate that!
Very cool. If I didn’t have a wife three kids and two dogs to worry about I’d be a lot more like you building cool stuff with my time. Definitely enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
understandable, hopefully you get some quality time to yourself every so often. thanks!
How cool is that! Used to do this in my Dad's barn circa 1970. Man we had fun.
Great to see you’re still uploading man! i remember watching your videos in middle school, about to graduate college now😂
Haha that’s great. Mechanical engineering right..?
This will look so nice when it's finished, good job. /Per Lidberg Sweden
I agree completely!
Alicia Antoniadis also from Sweden. God fortsättning på dig Per!
Thank you very much!
@@OliverMotorized You are so welcome!
What a scary looking machine. Looks more dangerous than one of my H-1s.
I can imagine that on a three wheel bicycle. That would really highlight that nostalgic motor, fire engine red 😮
I tried this a few years ago and it didn't end well . I used a universal 50cc motor and it wasn't powerful enough. I don't have all the equipment you have . Excellent 👍
You ended up using about 7% of the original wally world bike.
🤣 so true
I greatly appreciated your honesty about the Bondo 😂😅😊
You should try a porta-band saw. Pretty cheap at harbor freight. 80 to a hundred bucks. Great video! Love the CNC!
i've seen those and have wanted one. but I have a spending problem haha!
Jeez! You just built a bike from scratch! You never needed that walmart bike at all.
it was a helpful template though!
There’s almost nothing left of the original bike, but cool project.
This is the most sketchiest project I have ever seen, but I absolutely love it for what it is and I'm all up for it
thank you. this is an inspiration i needed to get back to my own build.
great to hear!
This is cool , , IN Kansas drivers handbook on page one has the motorized bicycle and they actually allow 150cc .😊
That design looks great with that big honking motor in there. Definitely add some disc brakes.
Looks Dangerous.😳 I freaking love it!!
How on earth do you only have 44.6k subs? You deserve so much more than that. Ive been subbed for years and i personally think you should be over 100k.
Maybe one day haha, thank you

thank you
Only just found your channel. I love it from a uk fan 🎉
Thanks for subbing!
Thanks for the video Sir 🫡 bout to knock the dust off the tools and start a build soon 👍🏽

Great job bud.
Arc welding with out a face shield.... enjoy your cataracts.... your eyelids don't stop the uv rays
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOTORIZED BIKE FTW!
Looks Great!
Thanks!
11 HORSES!!!!! Hahahaha I LOVE IT!!!! Soooo much power
Have you ever tought about building a motorised Fat tire bicycle?
Really nice video as always.
And this bicycle is gonna look insane when finished.
I did that a number of years ago, but I didn't really like the result. maybe it's time for a retry.
@OliverMotorized Count on me watching the retry!
Glad you're back at the 2-wheeled contraptions. I've enjoyed all your previous builds. Do you end up keeping them or finding them new homes when you're done?
me too lol . if I really like it, they stick around for a while. otherwise, I either sell or repurpose the parts.
@@OliverMotorized That's good; glad you don't have a huge graveyard out back where they're just rusting away!
Very cool!! I would have used a motorcycle frame though. I would have saved a lot of trouble....and lost half the fun!! I wonder if it could be done with a driveshaft? I am thinking BMW or Zundapp.

Your videos are awesome, keep it up
thank you sir
Hurry up I'm dying to see how fast it goes LOL by the way I just subscribed that's a pretty awesome build
Thanks for subscribing!
I think if you start your circles on the cnc plasma in the opposite direction it’ll solve your oblong circle problem
hmmm interesting. i'll try it
I wish you’d put some custom metal work to strengthen all those joints!👍
Yes . . . a beast.
Your my inspiration oliver.
🫠🫠 me too
appreciate the comment!
Hey Oliver! I would love to collaborate with you. You think we could work something out?
Nicely slapped ! 👍
haha thank you

At this point you really need a frame jig and to start from tube stock. 1/8th inch wall DOM 1010 will be easy to weld and relatively cheap.
Yeah, you are probably right. To be honest, that's essentially what I do with these bikes - they are a template to keep everything true.
I like it so much I subscribed!👍
thank you!
I got a snowblower in my shed from the 90s my father barely used it, I’m not sure the size of motor but it’s the good one of it’s day, I want to get a welder and build a mini chopper
do it! welders these days are relatively cheap
Two -Stroke !!
@@OliverMotorized I know I have the skills to do it, and if I need help I’ll ask some one, then I’ll build my motorcycle I been dreaming of
I have the same respirator. I got it from my daughter and it has filters more suited for medical use (I think). There are many different filters that fit, but I'm not sure which ones to get. What do you use?
A brick kickstand. A brickstand.

I am WELL overdue for a new helmet. thanks for the advice!
Am i missing something? What happend to the previous chassis?
I didn't like it, so I restarted lol... I was waiting for someone to bring it up!!

I'm excited for cool exhaust, and mabey a charging system.
You made soup from a stone on this one mate. There is nothing left of the original bike lol.
Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎉
Right back at ya!
It doesn't matter what your welds look like, as long as they hold, it's really hard to make a nice weld, you see without co2 and with the flux core, so get yourself a co2/mix welder if yours can't do both.
yeah for sure. I actually think my welder has an inlet for CO2, just never bothered to purchase the extra stuff to make it work. Thanks!
Great video! Thank you!
Very good
but will it run?
A few videos back I use this same motor - it runs!
@@OliverMotorized I remember i was just teasing. seems like you didnt know which tank you wanted to use on it.
In some impoverished country's that could be the family car. Zang !
You're for sure gonna want brakes on this beast. GOOD brakes!
yep, the rims I got have mounting hubs for disk bakes!
Listen to the welder , when it's set right it sounds like sizzling bacon in a frying pan ( arc welder )
Very Nice!......I'd Go With A Lowered Pan Seat With 2 Shocks For Comfort & The Schwinn Chopper Style Handle Bars....Would Look Like An Old Board Track Racing Bike...JS.
sounds cool - like the handle bars you see on the old schwinn stingray?
You JUST slapped it right on was that one slap rep skap
Thats sick, tough i suggest getting a good front fork. A lot of people have died from a broken front fork.
I was thinking about that too, definitely a weak point. thanks for the suggestion
Hey bud where did you get those rims at I need to get me a nice set of rims for my bike please let me know I appreciate it thank you
I threw the link in the description
@@OliverMotorized THANK YOU
You kept what 20% of the original bike frame ?
lol
Nothing wrong with using tools from Harbor Freight as long as it gets the job done!
true!
So how much of the original bike actually got used?..looks like very little of it to me...
oh well
How about front wheel trike? Just change fork with two wheels with drive shaft and sprocket on one way bearing.
Aside from the fact that this would be not road legal in any state in the US, it's a death trap.
Not even disc brakes. Good
The bike was not finished in this video lol
Don't sweat the welds, mine still look like poop after welding for a few years.
glad i'm not the only one
Don't bondo over your welds. You need to be able to inspect for cracks before the bike breaks up at speed.
Bicycle of Theseus.
Haha I suppose so
how tf u gonna get the spark plug lead off
Lol ,so the walmart bike more of a template
Yeah, not much of the original bike left….lol.
I like it !
Walmart bike of Theseus
Ja pierdole ten silnik na stole wydawał się w chuj mniejszy 🤣🤣🤣a to bydle jest ogromne 🤣💪
It's not a torque converter. Those are called Reeves pulleys
Interesting. I think you’re right, but the company I bought it from has it listed as a torque converter
