  • how to subscribe to make magazine?

    is there even a soft copy available on net or any of your website?

  • the world is getting lazier...

    

  • I know one thing, that little engine won't get my fat ass around too well lol

  • It is a kit. I have bought it and put it on my 1976 free spirit road bike. It "feels" fast but is not that fast. While it did come in a kit I had to go through slot of trouble fitting it and had to make a whole new back hub for it. It was a pain but worth it. It was a fun learning experiment and I really enjoyed it! Good video guys!

  • they use to make a lot of them here in singapore but it got banned because motorized vehicles here cant be driven or modified without license.

  • Get a dirtbike there faster and 100 times more fun

  • @lconf10 the bike has coasting breaks

  • 1980's, this kind of engine was used in *Google) "TVS 50"

  • Indeed that bike is awesome (though I'd want something more silent), but I must note that whoever did the camerawork had some pretty great shots :D

  • Это подобие нашего двигателя Д- серии сделанного в СССР

  • I wanted to make something not assemble something.

  • its a fucking kit faggot, not building shit

  • Bre > KipKay > Cow Manure > Current Videos

  • Their fun, though from my own experience the four stroke kits are boss. you can theoretically use different fuels instead of the standard boring gasoline.

  • I WANT KIPKAY =(

  • in India it was launched as LUNA..

    very popular.. now no where seen..

  • ehh, looks cool,... but id drop a v8 and hydros in it haha

  • and the cool thing about it is when you're riding it is a lot of fun...

    OH REALLY! IS THAT SO?!

  • sweetest bike ever

  • It's old but

    Co za asy

  • Or you could just put a can in the back wheel and off you go

  • how about just buy a motorcycle

  • @sylvaticalexpro $150 for the motor kit + whatever you paid for the bike= Less money than a motorcycle.

    In california you pay $19 to register it and you get a plate, no insurance needed, and no registration after that.

    Way cheaper than buying a used motorcycle.

    I've put about 200 miles on my bike riding around Burbank and the surrounding areas without any problems.

  • @hackmattr yeah but you can only go short distances its a good thing if your job is 10 miles away max, but if you have to go on highways and/or your job is kinda far then go for a motor bike i prefer enduro because i can take it into a trail and still ride it on the street

  • @sylvaticalexpro Yea. I like the enduro's too.Insurance is the only thing that keeps me from buying any motorcycle because it would be more than I could afford at the moment. I've used my motor bike to go to my college 15 miles away once before, but it takes a lot longer than using a regular motorcycle or car. It's fun to keep up with traffic while at the side of the road and you get a lot of attention on one because people don't expect to see a motor on a bicycle.

  • CAN U PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO WITH THE GUY WHO AlWAYS USES ARDUINOS SHOWING HOW TO PROGRAM ONE

  • KipKay presents "How to make a rocket propelled motorbike" I started off with a bicycle salvaged from a thrift store, then I found the rocket propelling system from a rocket I had laying around in my garage. I used a bit of hot glue, but any adhesive would be fine. You have just made a cheap and fast motorbike for just about $200

  • or you can just ride the bike

  • Good video and cool bike but for bicycles electric is definitely the way to go. I have an electric bike and I absolutely love every minute of it. Also for people wondering about the speed, keep in mind that legally up bike are not allowed to go faster than 20 miles an hour.

  • I've been a bum not really i worked over 100 hours a week for 2 months fell sleep on the highway and totaled my car. l bought a motor for my bike i fucking saves my one of my jobs. They are fun to build and fun to tweak I built an extra magneto to run some light emitting diodes also make 1 level break both breaks. It can also be work out trust me you choose your level of intensity. I can bunny hop mine bike, pull wheelies. enjoy the fear proof padded room haters I own on this bike.

  • Before you convert your bike into a motor bike, think of the polar bears.

  • just use your fee you lazy ass. get exercise. isnt gas expensive enough?

  • Hey Guys i need 500 Subscribers by the August 25 Also give me Ideas for videos ill do anything i mean anything! :)

  • i hate this channel now bring back kipkay or i will unsubscribe

  • whatever happened to the good times with KipKay and weekend projects that's like the only reason why i subscribed to makemagazine to see weekend projects next week if i do not find "weekend projects with KipKay" i will unsubscribed this is a warning because if officially no more kipkay with weekend projects over ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS WILL UNSUBSCRIBE TO MAKEMAGAZINE DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME MAKEMAGAZINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What epic background music

  • you mean moped

  • Would replace the gas engine with an electric one and the batteries mounted on the rear. Would give q lot more torque, is green, and doesn't need to be started. Still a nice build.

  • @Pelle4495 I'm actually working on a project just like this with a treadmill motor of 2.5 HP. I think either the project is more simple with electric engine

  • fix your gear ratio to it go faster, putting a larger gear on the motors drive shaft and a much smaller gear on the back wheel would increase the rotations significantly!

  • ive made the same thing.

  • @THEJEWFROS

    What is that, A Shit Video?

  • @M1ST3RHYDE naw more like a 80cc powerd delux schwinn with a springer front end.. also put a boost bottle on it .. put ape hangers and painted the frame black does 40mph now..

  • @THEJEWFROS

    Nice :) My lil bike only does 37 but its a 66cc. My last one had apes and a huge rake but I crash'd too many times.

    Im glad you didn't mind the joke.

  • One question I have about this bike, how do you make it stop? I see no brakes anywhere on it.

  • @Iconf10 they replaced the front break with the clutch the rear break is still on there

  • @themakingofstuff I thought that myself, but if you look at the right side handle, its just a twist throttle, no brake. Also the back has no braking on it. The rubber stoppers that catch the rim of the tire are gone, which would be kinda pointless anyways for the speed, and there is no disk brakes of anything on the back sprocket. It looks to be a totally brake-less bike.

  • those engines are incedibly polluting, they are even dirtier than larger car engines.. alll of this so you can avoid using your legs??

  • @JogBird Yes, aren't the results of human laziness and technology amazing? :P

  • Ok, for those who are VERY slow: MAKE magazine also showcases OTHER makers and their projects. Not EVERY video is supposed to show you how to do everything step by step without using your own brain. Besides, they cite what article covers HOW TO MAKE A BIKE in their magazine. MAKE is a magazine publisher after all, not just some free site to cater to your whims!

  • Was there an explanation on how to make a motorbike in here that i totally missed?

  • Just a commercial to buy the magazine. Would have been cooler if the title of the video weren't "Make a Motorbike!" but rather "A Brief Interview With the Builders of Make Magazine Volume 26 Article 'Make a Motorbike'."

  • I have one..... i made it over a year ago... its the coolest thing ever..

  • This channel now is all advert I'm going to unsub if the next show sucks.....

  • "One of the cool things is, when you're riding it, its a lot of fun." Something an intern would say.

  • They never show you how to make cool stuff anymore. Stop breaking my bawls makemagazine and show us how to create awsome stuff.

  • i learnt this in 4th grd science showed that if u had a smaller gear to power the wheel and a bigger gear u pedaled with u would go faster

  • I end all the things I say with an upward inflection? Like a question? Only there's no question mark? Yeah?

  • KipKay presents "How to build a motorbike...with lasers!" I started off with a bicycle salvaged from a thrift store and a gas engine from a motorcycle I had laying around in my garage. I used a bit of hot glue and some C-clamps to mount the motor. Now, I rummaged through a pile of old BluRay players and extracted the laser diodes. Wire it all up using the diagram in the link and PRESTO! You just made a cheap motorbike with lasers!

  • @830sxz lol thats kipkay style

  • @830sxz Shut up about Kipkay. He has his own channel .Go there.

  • @830sxz lol, while reading this, I was hearing KipKays voice in my head!!

  • @830sxz omg to a "T" man.. lmao

  • @830sxz I just imagined kipkay saying that, that's exactly how he would talk, funny comment

  • @830sxz I just read that in his voice too. lol

  • Video is somewhat of a disappointment. Should change the title to Show a Motorbike!

  • but...how do you make it? I cant get that magazine here.

  • Noone can build a motorbike on his own ... he is a hacker !

  • i will make one but a 1L version

  • WTF come on show us some details where you buy the engine, sprocket, chain, anything parts lists 15-20 mph I can pedal 25-30 mph on a mountain bike with slick tyres think someone got the gearing a bit wrong.

  • @chillierdavro

    Your right something is wrong with the speed, Iv been up to 52mph on a good day with some small mods but the objective isn't only speed It is to have a nice cruz along without a pedal.

    If you want some answers I can help out.

  • show us how to make it maybe??

  • "one of the cool things about this bike is that it's a lot of fun"

  • @ereignisfelder

    Also One of the bad things about this video is l dont like it alot.

  • now would you need a motorcycle license to ride it?

  • @AceSpade09 not sure where you are from, but in Australia if you hold a car license you would be able ride it as long as it is 90cc or under :D

  • @tryhugsnotdrugs lol you dude need to have a look at the laws.. its used to be less than 50ccs but now its less than 200W thats why pocket bikes are band now.

  • @HomeDistiller not to sound stupid, but what is 200w? and shit. i guess i cant get away with riding my honda spree around town without a lisence anymore.

  • @tryhugsnotdrugs 200 watts.. anything over needs to be registered as a motorbike and you need a bike licence

  • hey 1:28 is not enough to understand how did u made this !! :(

    

  • Need DIY Instructions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • Uilr

  • All of you fuckers who dislike this, can go fuck off, MAKE MAGAZINE RULES

  • nothing new, what it is 1965?

  • Lame... come back with a working copy of the wright brother's airplane and Ill be impressed. 

  • These bikes are cool in concept, but not when driven by drunk douche bags up and down my street at 2am. Any chance of more sound suppression with the exhaust?

  • I did this literally two years ago, and your interns look and sound really dumb and make me want to go shower.

  • DUDES! you guy's are fucking up on you how to videos, BRING KIP KAY BACK NOW! YOUR DOOMED IF YOU DON'T

  • please we want makemagazine-how to make stuff step-by-step in video, I don´t want buy magazines by internet to make something because in my country it isn´t sell.

  • makemagazine , or just showmagazine ._.?

  • shit i build 24 of these all ready bring in kip kay u suck stevens balls

  • I think I'll just go buy a motorcycle.

  • WE WANT KIPKAY BACK. THUMDS UP IF YOU AGRRE AND POST THIS ON EVERY MAKEMAGEZINE .HE USE TO SHOW US STEP BY STEP. NOW THIS PAGE SUCKS WITHOUT HIM!!!!

  • We have a lot of these in my little beach town. The electric ones suck. The gas ones work well. 

  • Gas? I'd rather make an electric.

  • These are all over my city. I see them almost daily, especially if I walk home from school.

  • @Asadawa I wish i lived in your city, then

  • @Haydeez64 I think somebody around here makes them for cheap or something.

  • Why is the carburator sidelong, hot the hell it works like that way?

  • @friik100 Definitely doesn't. Probably at that point some idiot kicked it or pulled throttle cable, or whatever, and carb was mounted not very good, so it changed position.

    I can't really see on video, but looks like when he's driving, carb is in normal position, so they fixed it.

  • china makes those US $130.00

    EBAY

  • nothing special! In USSR was bikes/motorbikes, they were made in Riga, Latvia. Many of them still are running.

  • @KGWOLF77 Got one also, also my friend has one of those chinese ones like in this video, compared to shitty chinese crap it is one good engine!

  • @KGWOLF77

    Like Riga 13? Yeah, i see those quite often, i even bought one for myself. But it doesn't looks cool and it's slow.

    So i modded a frame and installed an engine from old soviet chainsaw. Now it's something worth riding. Looks very cool and goes much better - 60+ kmh max speed, much better acceleration.

    See some video in my profile.

  • He didnt invent anything

    This already exist

    Here is the picture: ww(w).shrani.si/files/rogponye­xpstwsjpg

    It goes 60km/h (or 40 mph)

    Its called Pony Express and its very good to ride whit it. It has the same handel for clutch as the motor in this video has.

  • Who actually has a subscription to make magazine.

  • omg I HATE you people who say "Man i wish kipkay was back." HE HAS HIS OWN CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE!! If you watch make magazine just for kipkay you shouldnt be watching it at all! As a make magazine subscriber on youtube and to the real magazine I like almost ALL the content make has to offer. PLEASE go sub to kipkay and don't complain about it here he puts up a few videos each month so there's PLENTY of kipkay to watch. :)

  • but will it blend?

  • I have a bike like this. Same engine, same carburator, air filter, etc. But without a fancy video ;D

    Look for "bicimoto" on google. Their company is in Rio de Janeiro.

  • stfu i want kipkay!

  • MAKE IS FAKE

  • what's with the forlorn music?

  • WOW

  • Kipkaayyy :'(

  • @ubfebrubf Bri Pettis was a hell of a lot better than Kipkay. (I know i've spelt some of this wrong btw).

  • @ginfox91 yeah john park, bre pettis and kipkay ! (Y)

  • you should sell it in India

  • Kipkay is best

  • if kipkay would be here he would make motor motorbike

  • i done this with a chainsaw

  • I have made one of those before and it runs awesome, it was a pain to make tho.

  • F this, F kipkay, bre pettis was so much better (y)

  • SO DRAMATIC

  • This show sucks now i liked when they actually SHOWED how to make stuff step-by-step!!

  • @jokerv12 Thats what the magazine is for...

  • @jokerv12 people didnt subscribe to the magazine after they saw these videos showing them how to do the stuff lol

  • @jokerv12

    figure it out yourself lame ass

  • But will it blend?

  • kip kay make it with two lighters xD!

  • show us how to make an electric bike!

  • @naruto9902 do the same with an electric motor instead of a gas motor. i finished an electric one about a week ago

  • I WANT KIP KAY

  • wtf. 6800 views and 80 dislikes. 1 in every 100 people watching this hit dislike. WHY?!

  • also thats why these videos get thumbed down

  • Like the first top rated comment says. WTF happened to the tutorials, i subscribed like 7 months ago, and i was watching all their videos with this exact thought in mind: "HELL YEAH, Ima be making me lots of cool shit now". now there is just previews of what we COULD be making IF we brought their magazines. I'm still gonna watch these videos though to give me ideas.

  • Should of been Buy Make Magazine?

  • That was almost worth watching.

  • how we make it xD?

  • Buy a damn motorcycle, these things are for children.

  • why wouldnt you build an electric bike! fuck gas!

  • 70 people are jealous they can't make anything

  • @dbsouza1 unlike you and me, there is some people that need a detailed tutorial to make things, so that's why they thumbed down this video.

  • I can cycle at 20mph....

  • lets see kip kay make this :)

  • @capatainnemo i bet he could =)

  • @capatainnemo nah hell use his powerd by rockets XD

  • @capatainnemo kipkay makes everything better

  • old news already have one lol but its a trike they are a blast to build and ride.

  • Wow this is boring i want kipkay!

  • Haters gonna hate. But its actually good. Then you can learn about details that slipped your mind.

  • OMG! at maker fare i got to ride that :D

  • Make a motorbike huh how bout that put a motor on it, Duh thanks makemag

  • they speak like they made it. you can buy the exact parts in a kit online. and all you have to do is screw a few things.

  • every man and his dog has one of these in australia, and ours go faster.

  • Was the sprocket of a sheby?

  • Should have gone electric anyway, but since your not showing how to actually make anything, waste of time. Thanks for the ad !

  • Make is Fake

  • This should be called "Look at my motorbike!" sorry, but I see no making in it. I totally agree with ThreeDigitlQ (or whatever the name is), you don't build much anymore.
