these gas bike kits are great see mine at my channel MrMsrtube I'll even take it for a ride once you go gas you never have to bust your ass & 150 mpg & 40 mph bought my kit for $140.00 on sale
@TheChocolateChiken just look up gas engine kit for bicycle on google... order one.. get a bike ... and install .. htey are really easy to put on just gotta attach and connect
i rather prefer a bike like this which i can build rather than a motor bike which is bought ...........dnno though abt others ....but gives a sense of accomplishment somewhere....... to me
my fram is too big for the engine to fit on properly. has anyone ever had this problem and have succefully found an alternate way of mounting the motor? i really dont want to get a new bike
@qwerqwertrertrewqw Check the kit powerkingshop sells on ebay. I think they mention that they come with oversized frame mounts. You can always contact them with your frame size to see what they say. They're very good for getting feedback on your application.
@thebigmann25 hahahaha doesnt make it faster or slower mate, the screw basically aids the throttle cable to either open up or close down, changing the air intake into the engine, changing the rev limits, but because its not a geared bike it wont affect speed
the best way to get the most speed out of these engine kits is to get a light bike such as a aluminum frame racer or hard-tail trail, add thinner tires, K&N air induction filter, race performance 2 stroke, power muffler, NGK spark plug, boost bottle and upgraded sprockets as-well as automatic power-bands. (36 to 48 mph)
@ZEDROGANA the true size of these engines is 66cc's, and yes you are right. i took a triathlon bike. a scott waimea and mounted one of these to it. got according to gps 54.9mph
Hi! I have a question. Could You tell me how many inches ( or cm ) is between clutch and shifter ( distance)? Is clutch very hard or such as in other moped?
Is possible to install clutch on right side? I quess You bought special package to built this moped.
Its about 150MPG and you do have to mix oil before putting it into the tank since its a two stroke. My experience is about 150mpg with the engine I have.
i have one of them! theyr awesome fun but i cant start the bloody thing right now. it sparks, i cleaned the carb, has fuel grrr its so annoying. but to anyone thats wanting one get it!!! theyr so fun, just be prepared to get alot of attention lol
lol. 2stroke engine but 4stroke exhaust :D Fail. Build a 2stroke engine and it will run way better. A good 80cc moped would drive arround 120kph with 20+ PS
@LolzMan7756 cause this you can buy for the price range of 130-350 $ (last time i checked) and a moped is in the thousands..... not to mention its a really cool project!
Criticalzen should read the law before opening his big mouth some states alow up to 130cc bikes like this you just need the lights and to regester it.
@kdc43 :P Yeah but really its just 2 chains to remove instead of one and most of these engines you can loosten the chain like on mine. :) But yeah harder to change but then again just don't hit any debree!
What dollar amount to do this and where this kit is available. please also rate it for reliability and actual performance as far as able to climb hills and what is a good MPH it can go. Fuel economy too. thx
Haha fuck everybody saying this things illegal, its one thing and one thing only!! Amazing, and full on respect to the lad who made it cuz its people like him who are keeping the engineering world alive! Fair play buddy!!
Hi. I'm having a really hardtime getting the motor's rear sprocket PERFECTLY symetrical. It seems to hve a slight deviation. I've tried taking it off and starting from scratch, but, as I said, I can't seem to get it perfect.
Is a little deflection in the sprocket acceptable or does it HAVE TO BE 100% TRUE???
@stma31 well that shows how little you know about the diferences. a 2 stroke doesn't have to sound high pitched just listen to the burbling ffs and how it souds off the power.
i went to dmv it they said it is considered a moped, or may be not it looks like a bike the other guy said on the dmv, funny they dont even know what to tell, they just told me to as the police on the block, the police said as long as you pedal for sometime not just ride it as a moped lol so when i see a black and white pedal a couple of time and you are good, I am in San Jose California anyway they said im good to go love it. im selling my other car now hehe
I have done some reasearch and found that it is legal because it is considered a motor assisted bike but here in texas there are laws you have to follow like you cant be on a street with a speed limit greater than 35 mph and your supposed to only have 40 cc's and below but cops cant tell
i live in W.A and theyre illegal too but the cops of my neighbourhood are awesome and actually bought 1 themselves cuz they thought it was so cool. then my headmaster got pissed and called the cops and they told him that he was an old faggot and too fuck off lol
NOT Illegal in ALL states. its under the MIN # of CC's and does not even need insurance. You may need to register it in some states but... no insurance is required in some states.. Just a PLATE.. or TAG if you live in the south.. I wonder if it will run on E85???
Cool!! I got one of this kits and it arrived today... unfortunatly, I got it from a Chinese provider and the installation intructions are pretty loose. I can see myself having a hard time installing it. You don't happen to have a web site or something with detailed instruction do you?
Way cool but illegal in the US. Everybody is so worried about fuel, and a bike like this can go an impressive distance on one gallon of gas. For a quick run to the market or the post office, this would be a better choice. All these stupid laws here. If a person wants to take their chances on a bike like this, it should be allowed. I had a motorized scooter. It did really well on gas and that, but it was not as stable as a mountain bike. I think I will do this conversion to my bike.
Do you mean a motorcycle licence? I ride motorcycles, but I've never got a licence for that. It never was an issue. For this motor, it would have to reach the standard speed limit. Then it would have to have a licence plate, spark arrester, turn signals, headlight, brake light, running lights and a helmet would be necessary. In other words... no fun.
I don't know where you live, but here in Arkansas you could get a motorized bicycle license. A slightly bigger engine causes you to need a motor-driven cycle license. Over 250 cc and you need a motorcycle license. With the motorized bicycle license, a kid only has to be 10 years old and the engine can be no larger than 50 cc. The bike in the vid would be legal.
I live in California where it's illeagle to walk my dog in the woods. I actually got a ticket for that. In the middle of nowhere a ranger appeared with an attitude. -
Yeah, I'm glad I live here. There's a lot of ev-California folks who have moved here. Around our house we refer to California as "the land of fruits and nuts" and often follow that with "why would anybody want to live there?".
I was born here, raised in the mountains, where there is more of a country attitude. Unfortunately that attitude does not fit in with all of the laws. I can hardly stand it here, but I have never lived anwhere else. Utah looked pretty good, but the people are kind of strange. After all these years, I just don't know where else to go.
@Retrobowler all my friends ride one and so do i we dont have licenses but come crying to me if u get a ticket in your city my city allows us to ride them so u should check with the police department first YOUR WELCOME!!!!!
This is not illegal in the U.S... only a few places in the U.S but people still do it any way!!!! I ride mine all over the place and i have three cops in my subdivision and they can't say a word!!!
@criticalzen It's perfectly legal in my state. As long as it retains its pedals, and kept under 50cc, it will be classified as a "moped". Sucks for kids tho, because you will need a driver's license to ride this. You can get an 80cc or higher and say it under 50cc becuase the law does not require proof of purchase or certificate of title.

ACTUALLY........ Beacause it has two rear sprockets ( One for pedaling and the other for the motor driven chain ), it is considered a pedal assisted bicycle. Legal in all 50 states by federal law. You should go ahead and convert your bike with no worries.

@criticalzen Its not illegal in the US, but laws very greatly by state and are usually worded so badly as to be a bunch of gobbty gook. In my state, for example, you need a driver's license for it, but no tag or insurance or registration. Also, most states qualify engines to fall in this category as having to be below 50cc's, and this is a 66cc engine, so debadge it of any markings and say its a 49cc ;-) The less populated your state is, the more lax the laws are.
@criticalzen No, not illegal in the US, just CA. This engine was specifically designed to be legal in The United States. CA just has a lotta Nazi laws.
@criticalzen i have noticed generally with motor bikes or mopeds the police usually do not care. true, sometimes you will get a cop who uses his authority to bully, who will try impound it or slap you with a bunch of tickets, but when I had a motorized bike I just started pedaling when a cop went by. If they do not catch you using the motor they cannot do anything!
Hi, how is the engine working right now? Still functional? I plan on getting one soon and I'm curious about how long they last. Thanks

@criticalzen It's perfectly legal in my state. As long as it retains its pedals, and kept under 50cc, it will be classified as a "moped". Sucks for kids tho, because you will need a driver's license to ride this. You can get an 80cc or higher and say it under 50cc becuase the law does not require proof of purchase or certificate of title.

ACTUALLY........ Beacause it has two rear sprockets ( One for pedaling and the other for the motor driven chain ), it is considered a pedal assisted bicycle. Legal in all 50 states by federal law. You should go ahead and convert your bike with no worries.

@criticalzen Its not illegal in the US, but laws very greatly by state and are usually worded so badly as to be a bunch of gobbty gook. In my state, for example, you need a driver's license for it, but no tag or insurance or registration. Also, most states qualify engines to fall in this category as having to be below 50cc's, and this is a 66cc engine, so debadge it of any markings and say its a 49cc ;-) The less populated your state is, the more lax the laws are.

@criticalzen No, not illegal in the US, just CA. This engine was specifically designed to be legal in The United States. CA just has a lotta Nazi laws.

@criticalzen i have noticed generally with motor bikes or mopeds the police usually do not care. true, sometimes you will get a cop who uses his authority to bully, who will try impound it or slap you with a bunch of tickets, but when I had a motorized bike I just started pedaling when a cop went by. If they do not catch you using the motor they cannot do anything!

@criticalzen not illegal. you just need a motorcycle license M1/M2 and wear a DOT helmet. it's pretty much considered as a moped.

@criticalzen i live in huntington beach, ca and i'm making my beach cruiser into an 80 cc moped
the laws are ridiculous!
ive decided that im going to go for it and chance a ticket, i have talked to other people with them and they said they've never been pulled over
but the laws are crazy! (registering bike, m1 motorcycle liscence, lights, horn, two brakes, DOT approved helmet, turn signals)
EVERYTHING FUN IN CALIFORNIA IS ILLEGAL!!!
