Here is the final working bike. The motor is installed and the bike is working properly. The next step is to add an electrolyzer. After that we need to modify the carb, add a battery pack, and finally adjust the timing.

**Note this bike does not run off water right now but it will soon. This is a conversion project to make a gasoline engine run off hydrogen.

  • Dont add battery then it will take 2 fuel water and electricity BAD idea

    go on hydrogen install hydrogen station in home not on the bike

  • @anupamvipul233 Thought about that too.. If you had a home filling station and you filled a small tank, say the size of a propane tank, then you would technically be riding around with a hydrogen bomb. That's probably not a good idea seeing as how the technology is still slowly being accepted in society.

  • This is a two stroke engine and that presents some serious issues if you want to convert to water. The mixture will go below the crank while the mixture at the top is combusted. Ignition timing is always between 25 and 36º degrees. Since hydroxy combust infinitely faster than fossil fuels you'll need to fire after tdc. Since the exhaust port of a two stroke is spreadout around 90º down stroke there could exist a serious overlap between incoming fresh mixture and outgoing burnt or burning mix

  • @9Barry009 Yes, that's exactly what we have been disusing. A 4-stroke motor is going to be better for this.. IT has a separate oil tank. Now I just need to find one.

  • If you're running that off of hydrogen as opposed to 2 stroke mix, which is oil and petrol (petroil, whatever you wanna call it) what do you use as a lubricant for the engine?

  • @choochoo67 I've been using an AFMT (Anti friction metal treatment). It work well but I don't know how long I can run before treating it again. I think a 4-stroke is the way to go. These small Chinese engines are prone to ceasing.

  • Do it right & just go electric. Hydrogen is going nowhere.

  • where do you get the engine kit? i want to install one on my beach cruiser

  • too bad the rider doesn't realise the motor is to save you from pedaling,lol, he's pedalling the whole time!

  • I think you should use an electric motor to work as an alternator and one smaller battery to do the electrolysis because a large battery pack, well lead acid, is going to be very heavy, my go cart on my channel weighs over 200lbs and is almost impossible to pick up alone and all that weight is really going to effect your performance, these engines dont have a lot of torque

  • way cool

  • there is nothing water powered about that bike you god damn liar.

  • i have the same lights and spedo on mine, however my spedo doesnt work once the motor is engaged... how does urs work? did u mod it?

  • THEN make an electric bike not 2 loop of energy
