Photos & Bicycle Builds

Pictures of motorized bike projects and bike builds. Vote for the best build!
Here's a fun little topic, we get to see more pictures. The way it works is, the poster, (me) post a picture of my bike with some item. Then the challenger post a picture of their bike with the same (very similar) item. Then the challenger post a second picture of their bike with a new item for the next challenger to match. My first one I'll make easy my bike and a car. GO!
Got a basket case bike for next to nothing I'm trying to keep the budget low Around 100$. Originly was going for a cafe build but did a quick 180 and decided to go with a early motorcycle style build. Stay tuned ill post daily with updates. I should have a pile of parts waiting for me when I get home.
Lotsa new stuff. New (NEW!) wheels. I replaced the rear QR axle with a solid axle. Disc brakes. Metal idler and derailleur pulley sprockets with bearings New throttle and shorter cable New rear rack A whole pile of USB lights chucked. A new light systen with onboard 12V lithium battery. Triple brake lights on rear. 15W RoadShock flood on front. Mini bullet lights with lenses I added to make 360° visible. Pictures after a battery test running hazard flashers for 3 hours,,dropped 0.2 volts off full 12.6V charge. A voltage display is on top of the black box, charge port and power switch on side, fused inside. The battery is 3s2p 5800mah. I can charge it with a solar panel but it appears I'll have plenty of range for normal riding using...
Just wanted to show how to setup new throttle linkage on carburetor after the governor has been deleted using only the stock parts from the phatmoto and no other parts purchased for this upgrade. The throttle works now very smooth without great resistance like stock. Save the little black spring, I tried one I had laying around, too weak, use the black spring on original bracket. The little lock nut is used to attach the cable to the little wire type arm on carburetor. One side of the throttle arm is cut so it can fit inside lock nut with cable.
This bike is absolutely amazing to drive. Barely 10 miles on the motor thus far. About to upgrade clutch pads, spring and plate. Custom stuffed Tannus Armor tires with slime tubes. - 20" stingray rim with Specialized Silent Whisper tire. - Custom built 13g spoked all steal rim front with Drum Brake Strumery Archer wheel hub (stops on the dime!) - Salvaged chrome OEM parts. - Phantom 85 v3 - 33t CDH Power Sprocket - BBR Tuning Stage 2 CDI.
Have you ever gone on a trip and sneakily purchased some things from facebook marketplace or whatever digital fleamarket you have access to? I had 2 hours in my local capital city and a plenty of diesel, i spammed whoever had listings for petrol bicycle listings within 40km. I made 2 purchases and ended up with 3 frames, two engimes and some spares. The guy still has 3 more crates of engines and parts and i havent been back in months. I will likely hit him up soon and get the rest... maybe. I am more likely to get a newer build and tune from the bench first and put it in a nice frame from day one. Currently my dream build is a state cycle co klunker, a bt110 hand filed and somewhat sorted with a nice pipe and some motorcycle...
My first post. There it is, my first bike. Hiland MTB 66cc motor cleaned up internals, port matched, NGK plug, extractor exhaust, HP carb, 52 tooth rear sprocket and modified stock muffler. Stock internals and head. Took a long time to make this happen, watched a lot of youtube and read the forums. This one is the best by far. A few details, the extractor on it's own was way too loud so I put the stock muffler on which killed the power so I made it into a glass pack by gutting the internals, drilling several more holes in the pipe, wrapped it loosely with expanded screen and filled the cavity with fibre glass. Works great not too loud. The stock rear sprocket was drilled to mount on the disc brake hub but found it way too fast and had...
I decided to try a motorized bicycle project, first time using a "kit" off the interweb. I ordered a 49cc 4 Stroke Kit and started looking for a decent bike, eventually found a salvaged 'Electra" ladies bike. I cut the crossbar and reversed it, then welded it in so it looks like a men's bike. I tried various ideas, some good some bad and without the best inspiration, which I get from checking out builds on this forum, it would'nt have been possible. I wanted a cleaner looks and figured a way to run the wiring system inside the frame, a number of the "Kit" parts were replaced or changed. All the lights work, turn, brake dim/brights and a moped horn, all powered by a small power bank/phone charger. The 'rattle can' paint job is not...
MS440 - 50mm bore x 38mm stroke Thick 17mm crank (normal thickness is 15.5mm) balanced to 56% HD Spring HD Pin (blaming @ImpulseRocket for this one)I did this on the 49mm 72cc "100notcc" due to this being the cheapest engine only listing. Around the same price range are 66cc in REALLY bad shape, such as thick black paint everywhere. I was able to adjust the timing on the 49mm cylinder, modified the stock head and sold it. I only needed the case and the other goodies, even though I have boxes of parts, it was either pay $76 for an engine only listing, or pay around $40 on a case only from CDH. There is a $25-$30 listing for just the case, it even says "8mm" however everyone receives 6mm cases. Decking the case was the longest process by...
Sporting its new bmx bars, reworked front, best pic yet of my urban fatbike playing on the last day of summer. The Korn is dead... Leaves beginning to turn...oh zoom in check out the redneck volleyball court! And soon, the season nears. The land will be as cold and dead as Van Hook and his buddies behind my bike. Hope none of them followed me. I thought that name was like a dracula or vampire kind of name, real creepy. I'll be adding more as the spooky season approaches. I hope to get one of my bikes into the mouth of the Bell Witch Cave. Haven't been there since 1977. Me and friends got real spooky in the back, a union break for the ages. We were teens, so was the guide, it WAS the 70's so there. 😎
hey joined about a couple of months ago and wanted to build a vintage race motorcycle from the 60's and I have a poll on my page link here ---> project part 2 so vote on witch one you like and you can vote on wich one you like the best and I will make it (details are on that page) FYI. this is a prototype made from duck tape cardboard and silver spray paint the actual one will look better
Finally got my 100cc (79cc) Predator clone kit done! Put on 35 miles over the last few weeks. Got it to 45mph (still has governor). Rides smooth, reliable, sounds good! Sounds like a little 4-stroke pit bike. Had to buy a replacement carb and install new clutch, and adjust valve lash. Pretty happy with it now. Gets lots of attention, especially pulling up to the gas station and pumping gas right into it! Appreciate everyone who helped with good advice.
