would have been alot ezr 2 put a strait chain drive with a centrifigal clutch

[pyroman13524]

@municsscareme try to explain your reasoning. I did it the way i did for a reason, i can take off way faster than anyone with a centrifugal clutch, i can rev the engine without taking off, much easier to align pulleys than sprockets, none of the welding on the shaft needed to be so precise, and by the time you figure out the cost of the sprockets chain and clutch this system costs at least 75 bucks less. the right thing to comment would have been WHY didnt you use a centrifugal clutch

Plz can you do a tutorial for me.plzzzzzzzzz.

I have engine and bike.

[pyroman13524]

@dizzy653 do you have a welder too? there is a lot more to it than just an engine and a bike, this bike all together took probably 20 hrs to make with a whole shop and every tool i needed to use. I have a couple more vids of this bike and how i made it, go check them out and see what you can get out of them

Nice, check out my motorized bicycle!

[pyroman13524]

@3ggt3 thanks for the comment and yours is sweet too

[realvanman1]

Wow, that's cool! And I love those wheels with like twice as many spokes- they look neat too!

[jalvarn]

I agree with you and Glen Curtiss, belts are a much easier and cost effective way to transmit power. check out my little chopper.

did i see a tork converter

[mapukmapuk]

nice clutch lol

@pyroman13524 um you cant take off faster than my mini bike (currently broken down) It spins rims in high quality tires and can put you on you back at less than 1/5 throttle it will do 64 mph too and it rips all the way up to there and it weighs like 130lbs (no gas) its a old 1970's Flathead Briggs semi modded 6 hp engine

@doomsd46 I completely agree. In addition, centrifugal clutches can also make a lot of noise. Plus they keep you from starting the engine by dropping the clutch while rolling.

@pyroman13524 soooo true, i made a bike exactly like this but with centrifugal clutch and it was a pain in thee ass to get it aligned right...ill make one like this next.

@dizzy653 - There are lots of tutorials on the internet and on Youtube already. However, the owner of the video has a point, this usually isn't as simple as bolting an engine to a bike. If you are new to welding, there are classes in your area probably, and would be a wise choice to take some. As for buying a small welder, look into smaller MIG welders or Stick Welders, they are generally the easiest to weld with and look for Lincoln Electric, they make good welders.

@pyroman13524 - He has a point, a centrifugal clutch, would probably be a bit easier, but there are some draw backs to them. You can get centrifugal clutches that are pulleys rather then sprockets, and belts are the way to go because they are quieter and require less maintenance. I hate having to clean and oil chains and make sure they aren't rusting. Belt, you don;t have to do anything, if it snaps, they are a dime a dozen (Unless you are using a CVT Drive or something a bit nicer).
