Motorized Bike Test Ride #1

[ProjectMaster2000]

How much extra power does it have now that you have it broken in?

[Pirate88179]

@ProjectMaster2000

This is just a guess but I would guess about 30%. The rpm's are now very much higher as well.

Bill

[Pirate88179]

This bike is for sale. $300.00 US for anyone in the area of Bowling Green, KY. PM me if you are interested. You can't build one for that. It still runs great. I am working on other projects now and need the room.

Bill

[Anothercoilgun]

wooupp wooupp.  Pull over :)

[Pirate88179]

@Anothercoilgun

Well hey, this bike is totally street legal here. An actual legal moped. Of course, I may have exceeded the speed limit on my street here making this video. Opps.

Ha ha.

Bill

[RCSuperPowers]

Oh thats so good. Very nice work, very nice.

[Pirate88179]

Thanks Dave, I appreciate that.

Bill

[Pirate88179]

Wow! Engine is fully broken in now and this thing really flies!

Bill

[CosmicGnarler]

I like that tread - flat!

[Pirate88179]

Thanks. Yes the cruiser tires are better for the friction drive than mountain bike tires. This was a very fun project and I am still riding it.

Bill

[Pirate88179]

I am working on the update videos for this bike.

Bil

[andthesunsets]

That is pretty loud..

[Pirate88179]

Yes, I agree. I am using the stock muffler but, I have a design for a silencer that should work pretty well. It puts out a lot of power though.

Bill

[muddymuddymuddmann]

OH YA BILL< ,

OK now I have to show you the peugot and 27.2 cc stihl blower motor. Yours is more practical and nicer, but mine is scareyer LOL adrenalyn,,,,,better than coffee and more dangerous.

GREAT JOB BILL

MUDDy

[Pirate88179]

Thanks man. Yes, I would love to see your bike. I didn't invent any of this, of course, I just assembled it all from available stuff. But, I do think this is a good way to go for something cheap, easy to build, and very dependable due to its simplicity.  Let me know if you want any of my sources for parts and, send me your video or pics of your bike.

Bill

[muddymuddymuddmann]

Hey thanks Bill, Mine is al make shift and put together with a wing and a prayer. I think you will have a good laugh with it. But it hauls but.....

I've been meaning to get a vid on it anyway for a while now. I just wished mine looked as good.

MUDDy

[Pirate88179]

Hey Mudd, this can be pretty scary too. 35 mph on a bicycle is very entertaining. Fast enough for me at this point in my life. I would love to see your build.

Bill

[muddymuddymuddmann]

Its commin. Probably Sunday when I can actualy breath some time. I need a new back rim though. Hitting railroad tracks at good speed snapped a spoke last spring.

MUDDy

[SCENARIOBABY]

cool pirate ou

[Pirate88179]

Thank you.

Bill

[kubikop]

Nice one! are you going to put NOS on it? ;-p

[Pirate88179]

Thanks. Well, one guy on the motorized bike forums has installed twin engines. I can't imagine riding that bike. Each one of his engines is more powerful than mine. That thing must really fly.

Bill

[kubikop]

Have you thought to turn the motor into a GEET system? could be fun.... I think you only need a coffee jar and a scouring pad..

Paul..

[Pirate88179]

Paul:

What is a GEET system? I am not familiar with that.

Bill

[kubikop]

Its a way of using "used oil" or petrol mixed with water or any conbustable to make the engine more efficient.

do a youtube search for GEET or GEET REACTOR.

you will be astonished how easy it can be...

Thanks

Paul..

ps PM me if you want to know more..

[794387]

All this being done by a "test pilot" with no health insurance. Please schedual testing when the local emergency room isn't full of Mexicans.

[Pirate88179]

Well, it is dangerous work but, someone has to do it, ha ha.

Bill

[JavaLessons]

Like your earth battery better, haha, what mileage are you getting ?

[Pirate88179]

The engine is not broken in yet so I have not bothered to check mileage but, others using the same set-up are reporting about 150 mpg.

Bill

[JavaLessons]

Did ya attach the mike to the engine ?, LOL, what bloody noise, man....eeeyooow...

[Pirate88179]

Well, it is not as loud as the camera makes it out to be. The camera was only about 3 feet from the muffler. It is not silent though, about the noise level of a 2-stroke leaf blower.

Bill

[harpbloke]

haha love the shadow of the helmet cam !!!! man you rock

[Pirate88179]

Thanks. Actually, I just stuck the cam into the side of a bandanna on my head. Also, for night riding, I am going to use the Joule Thief circuit to run a led headlight so it will be brighter and last a lot longer.

Bill

[harpbloke]

geeez pirate, i was lookin forward to a joule thief setup on yer bike there mate, 2stroke petrol??? eeeks, hahaha

[jeannacav]

Hey Bill, Thanks for the fun ride.

I guess next year it will be running on a Bedini motor?? Powered by the fuji circuit??

HA. 5 stars... good ride.

jeanna

[Pirate88179]

Thank you Jeanna. Hey, now that is a really good idea. This thing is a blast.

Bill

[jdcmusicman]

Hey man this is cool , I am planing on doing one myself , I have had all the stuff just hadnt had time to put it on the bike ....

[marthale7]

A weed eator on a bicycle... nifty idea. Now that wont use much gas... :)

[Pirate88179]

Thanks. It should get about 150 mpg or so. Very cheap to build also.

Bill

[webovisionca]

The louder it is the better, the people in cars will hear you coming.
