49cc Custom MTB Build

I thought just to show the members here i'm not "ALL" about electric hehe i would up some pics of a motorized ICE bicycle i helped put together in conjunction with my older brother

First up i must say it was ALL his design as far as the frame is concerned, i knocked up the 'jackshaft' (shiftkit) affair for him, he just couldn't get his head around the whole concept LoL the freewheel crank (which I knocked up using an old freewheel sprocket from a BMX bike) was beyond him, perhaps it was my explanation skills LoL either way he understood once it was complete, it was a weekend build so it isn't the most 'attractive' thing, suffice it to say it goes very well and he is extremely pleased with it, making a 20lm round trip on it too work most days...here's some pics of the bike anywayz, some may get some ideas from it--->

And of course the obligatory video of it showing the gear changing abilities hehe

I must mention this entire bike (engine aside) was built from bicycles/parts collected from off the side of the road during council curbside collection! EVEN the paint!!!

So there ya go! PROOF i am also ICE friendly member hehehe...thanks for lookin fellas

AJ,

i am totally impressed brother. your trike was a fantastic example of design and exicusion.

this one is every bit as good, especially so due to the time frame and scavanged bits.

you guys are fast becoming one of my "must look" post contributors.

good on ya,
steve

Cheers for the comments fellas much appreciated...the reason for the 'quick build' was out of necessity, at the time my brother had just lost his drivers license (ran out of demerit points) and needed transport to get to work. The bike was built in two days over th eweekend and painted the following weekend...There has been a few alterations to it since the above pics, it now supports a store bought tuned pipe and a store bought stem...I have also ported and polished the internals of the motor to get some more OOMPH out of it and a new carby has been fitted along with a mesh air cleaner all this I might add as an attempt to beat my trike hehehe...it failed, the trike whips it good LoL...was HUGE fun building it though and it still sees daily use

There is no video.

Link works fine for me...sorry i can't fix whats not broken buddy, must be your end its not working...perhaps if you gotto YouTube and look for videos by AussieJester69 you can look at it?

Thanks again for the interest fellas

If you knock up a dozen of those im sure you'd get a lot of Aussies who will pay for it + a bit extra for your troubles, most of us here only have basic house tools and cant weld.

We also get absolutely killed by the exchange rate if we try to get the one from the U.S

Impressions, this was discussed with my brother we seriously considered buying half a dozen motors and flipping them into some curbside bikes and flogging them, turns out others already have the idea and are doing it...checkout the Zbox site in Australia "click on the builders link" to a list of peeps building and selling the motored bikes setup ...most states have at least one builder theres 3 i know of in WA alone only one is listed on that site though ...
