My Bad Bicycle Chopper Project

I have always been a huge bicycle fan, building as many variations as possible since I was a kid. Then, later in life, I realized that encouraging people out of vehicles and onto bicycles was not only good for them, it was also a benefit for me. Pedal powered items are a great idea in theory but getting people to use them can be a bit tricky. So my idea is to get people onto bicycles by way of a very basic human trait -- ego. Kids of any age can appreciate something that looks good and appreciate it even more if it's theirs. Hence, My Bad.....

My hats off to the builder that is one bad "My Bad" I like it all the custom foot break is way to cool. To all of you that hate, I say lets see you post all the cool projects that you build so that we can tear you down. HATERS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!

@gripchion - Couldn't agree more! They need to have a special website for those people that just want to start sh__! And thanks for the comments. It was a blast to build and it's a blast to show! Cheers...

Nice bike.

But why not add a 49cc motor very cheap i'd be tired in 5 min.

What do you sell for i would love to put a 4 cycle motor on.

@gavinr9speed - I can tell by your command of the English language that you are probably a master bike builder so I appreciate your constructive criticism. I am also impressed that you can tell that the frame is too small by watching a small video. Good job buddy!

@essexisbest mindless zombies trying to eat through your brain - well, as always support you followers, and ignore haters, who, as always, will be hating, peace man

@robobear510 - Wish I could be as optimistic as you. You wouldn't believe how many comments I have deleted just because somebody is trying to start something. I wish they could all end this way!

@essexisbest se how we handled this, like gentleman, internet is starting to change, see how the word thanks affected the communication in a positive upbeat

@robobear510 - Thanks for commenting back again. And I hear what you're saying. Funny part is when I built this (and yes, I built the whole thing) I didn't know for sure if it would even work. Nobody else that I knew of was doing the wide tires at the time. So it was sort of meant for show rather than go (it`s been in 2 major car shows). It is actually quite rideable though. I will try something with a motor at some point. This one was just meant to have pedals though.

Cheers!

@essexisbest well.. sorry people tend to comment stuff on youtube the way they see things.. I understand buidling stuff for fun.. well.. yeah, ok sorry, that's a good enough explanation.. I would suggest one thing, put up an electric motor on it and make it e-bike chopper, I built and e-bike from a kit, so I understand the building for fun thing, and your skills are actually impressive if you built the whole thing, but I think you only need to make it functional and have a higher functionality

[essexisbest]

@robobear510 - Why take the time to type all that out just to bitch about something that is built for fun. I get so sick of people who come on here just to rant pointless rants. I built something for fun, something to make people smile and just for something to do. IT"S A BICYCLE CHOPPER, not a dam Harley. Have a little fun in life and get over yourself. Oh, and thanks for the comments!

"gas tank for added chopper realism" ..

And "I don't like anything on the handlebars"

I mean this is a bit pointless, but who asked me..

Anyway, things should be built for function not for looks only, this is probably not driveable, and the brake is something that has a potential fail point - what if you need to react quickly and the pedal is just in the way..

You're a grown man, I see how a kid would be fascinated, what the phuck.. I'll try and understand people better next time..

@oklacityg - I might have to try building a beach cruiser of some type. I think that would be a hoot. I decided to buy one as I just wanted something for everyday riding. Good luck on your build(s)! And thanks for the comments!
