Sick Bike Parts - Ride That Shifter Kit!!

[ATOMICBIGFOOT3]

Where did you buy your bicycle engine at? I'm gonna get the shift kit from Sick Bike Parts, who sells the best 2 stroke 80cc engines? I dont wanna get stuck with a crappy engine rite out of the box.

[OilyPablo]

@ATOMICBIGFOOT3 Sorry we don't recommend any one engine or engine seller. Please check the motorized bike bulletin boards.....

[prosk8er26]

Just wondering, but what bike are you using? I have been looking for that style of cruiser with the fender forever now, but knowing my luck I cant seem to find lol. 

[alienboy366]

HMM so are you shifting twice at once?

[OilyPablo]

@alienboy366 - The guy riding the bike is going 2nd to 4th and such, if that's what you mean. He's just jumping around the gears. Nothing very precise. Just to show that it's just like riding a bicycle.

[Kris099x]

hey how much does the shift kit cost?

[OilyPablo]

@Kris099x  Please see our website - we have a variety of kits ranging from $144 to $239. Thanks!

[nxtcmgr]

how many gaers does it have



[OilyPablo]

@nxtcmgr As many as your rear hub/gear set has. 3-4-5-6-7-8-9

[chickenyoyo6]

do you have to use the clutch when you shift?

[OilyPablo]

@chickenyoyo6 No - it's just like riding a bike when you shift. You can use the clutch to take off though. Like a MC, unlike a strap-on motored bike.

[donnieaccused]

can you use these on a 7 speed internal geared hub

[OilyPablo]

Yes, works with internal hubs as well.

[petervelker1990]

thanks for the fast reply, i really appreciate it.

[petervelker1990]

is that street legal, very cool.

[OilyPablo]

Yes in most all states.

[STF043]

@petervelker1990 is illegal u can get a ticket but they dont want to waste their time

[OilyPablo]

Most places, it is legal. Depends on your local laws.

[runninonempiy]

@STF043 You prob live in a shitty state like Illinois....Don't just say it's illegal..YOUR WRONG..In Florida it's legal.

[doggerba]

Oh sick! I know its a lot to ask, but could you consider doing video where you can see ur hands doing the action of up shifting and down shifting? I am getting a motor for Christmas and wanna buy this kit after haha

[OilyPablo]

Not much to see. Just a slight twist of the grip. Maybe this spring we will make some new vids.

[hhonatinito]

@doggerba Youre not going to regret buying the kit, just got mine installed and its awesome! not to mention the support youll get from this guys. Kudos to sick bike parts.

[doggerba]

So you just let off the gas, click for the next gear, then put the gas back on again?

[OilyPablo]

Yes exactly - and after 2-3 rides it's amazing how quickly you can do it with a grip shifter on the left and throttle on the right.

[doggerba]

Do you have to clutch in when you shift?

Thanks, Jim

[OilyPablo]

No, not necessary - just shift like riding a bicycle. Easy pie!

[BobbyLockerz]

@OilyPablo how much did everything cost without the bike, mirrors, speedmeter, and light

[OilyPablo]

The shifter kit prices are all our sickbikeparts website.

[heyhey1385]

What Chains Do you recommend because i keep breaking the ones i get from the bike shop (The One From the Freewheel to the gear cluster

[SickBikeParts]

@heyhey1385

We just use standard bike chains, nothing special or expensive. Don't know why you are tearing them up. Have you tried to see where they are failing? Is it always where you are splicing the chain?

[ihelk]

is there a way to change the gear on the pedals to a smaller gear? i want to get a kit like this but i dont want the engine ''geared down'' too much so i can get that back wheel spinning faster

[OilyPablo]

@ihelk Go to our Sick Bike Parts web site and see all the different gear options. You can gear up for speed or gear down for goat hill climbing. You can change the shaft output gear and the driven and driving chainrings for ultimate top end.

[mrbraunfulo1]

do you have to let out the clutch when you shift

[OilyPablo]

@mrbraunfulo1 No need to use the clutch to shift - back off the throttle a little is all.

[adamg4119]

whats your speed range? how fast do you accelerate after stopping (i.e. at a light)

[OilyPablo]

40 mph effortlessly. 30-35 is just feeling like put-put. Hills are a breeze.

But acceleration is where it's at. wah-waht-wahht-wahhht - just tear through the gears....never timed from 0-30 mph, but leaves bolt on sprocket stockers in the dust.

[americanboy64]

9,999 veiw :)

[meba20]

Nice!!!

[721069]

I am looking in to one of these. I was wondering do you have a 48 or a 66cc? and what bike did you use? Thanks.

[SickBikeParts]

@721069

The engine in the video is a 67cc and the bike is just an average mountain bike.

[StevenSupernatural]

Is that street legal?

[OilyPablo]

@StevenSupernatural

It depends on your state and local laws. Yes in most areas.

[StevenSupernatural]

@OilyPablo wow, cool thanks

[Darklordkime]

@StevenSupernatural if big brother does not catch you it is

[StevenSupernatural]

@Darklordkime Lollll big brother meaning the po?

[Darklordkime]

@StevenSupernatural weeeel yea kinda and i mean big brother. read george orwells 1984....... to it

[StevenSupernatural]

@Darklordkime Lol but I still don't understand what you mean by big brother? I am the oldest sibling..

[Darklordkime]

@StevenSupernatural o my okay in 1984 big brother is a leader who-sees every one you cant get away with any thing sooooo ya

[StevenSupernatural]

@Darklordkime haha oh alright

[GT121484]

lol... sounds pretty funny... usually a blow off valve.. here its a clicking sound.. =*)

[MagicPup69]

what is a shifter kit?

[OilyPablo]

The sickbikeparts site tells you what a shifter kit is, but basically it allows you to use the gears on your bike with an engine kit, as opposed to the lousy strap on to your spokes single gear that comes with the engine kits.

[matsudaa]

is this shift kit available to canada?

[OilyPablo]

@matsudaa

We ship to Canada all the time. Thanks!!

[OilyPablo]

Jim's bike isn't really built for speed, he does about 40mph or so. Faster than that on a MB is really in skivy stain territory.

[tractorboy8420]

so whats your top speed with somthing like that? thanks!

[themeeke]

hey

i have a question about it, do u need to use the clutch when changing gears and does the engine really sound like that or is it the video? sounds like the chain is bouncing alot

thanks

[OilyPablo]

Clutch while shifting is not necessary.

I think the sound in the video is effected by the wind in the mike.

[dillondeal]

ok lol i guesss il have to upload a video then lol to prove too you but its jst a video of how i built it and stuff

[CrazySpaz833]

fail..

[dillondeal]

if u gnna ride tht thing on the road u better keep up with traffic lol i made a bike with a 40cc engine and it was a singel speed with 20 inch tires and i got it to go a lil over 60mph in about 20 secs

[OilyPablo]

Interesting. Love to see that.

No video, maybe didn't happen???

[clnmyjts]

It sound good to.......

[TheSwedisherotica]

wonder can you drive on the sidewalk ? :D really cool

[cerberusgoddog]

what size engine??

[OilyPablo]

67cc

[tartontart]

[jimprice09]
