My motorized bike project

[hanorotu]

I've been working on this since I was away from evilzone. The bike runs and goes about 30mph. It has a 49cc motor on beach cruiser bycycle frame. It has mountain bike tires, with a front brake. I have put a lot of work in this, and am quite proud of it even though it looks like crap. It still needs cosmetic work but I figured I needed to at least get it working first.

Some pics as of 7/24/13








Have any questions, feel free to ask.

Looks nice! Here, have a cookie.

I'd like to see a video of it running, if it would be possible. Also, what's with the bike locker? What's its function there?

Cool man!

I'll get a video up soon. the bike locker is because this is street legal so i've been riding it back and forth to work

Lol this so cool. It's classified as a motorized bike and this is self-made. How ever in soviet times such bikes were casual before mopeds were engineered and I had an actual motorized bike: http://imageshack.us/a/img163/7862/pict5605.jpg

But I chopped it up because it required mountains of work and I already had my hands on the moped: http://9v.lt/blog/category/projects/riga22/

If you'll need some help you can ask me I have some experience fixing that shit.

Where did you get it?

That looks pretty nice. And the engine resembles Kulver's bike a lot. Btw, how fast does your bike go Kulver?

My bike is not a bike. I have a moped which is different and that engine is the same for all such type of bikes. Slight modifications here and there but the construction is the same - only 1 gear with a clutch. To start that bike you need to pedal it up
Mopeds start with a kick-starter and have no pedals.

Hano's bike doesn't go very fast, about 20 km/h is probably the maximum speed, but it's also economic as fuck just like mopeds - 1 liter/100km roughly.

I like to see a video of it as well

The video will have to be on hold for now, the motor chain snapped this morning on the way home from work. So it is out of service until I get another chain.

EDIT: I will get a few master links at work tonight and see if I can't repair it.
