Photos & Bicycle Builds

This is my first post, but my second motorized bike. The first was a Kent mb with a 66cc that i bought completed. It was great, but I gave it away a few years ago before ever doing anything to it. I've built a 48v/1600watt scooter for running my dogs that I gave to my nephews, and a 48v/1000watt fat tire mb that i still own at another property. my main complaint about electric bikes has always been up-front cost, don't store well, and break-fix cost. It seems if you let the ebike sit for a few months and come back, something is now not working... moisture got to something... your $400 battery is half the ah or totally bricked... something. So I decided last month to try a cheap yd100 budget build for going 8mi back and forth from the...

I'm basically wrapping the modified Schwinn with another bike frame, I'm still going to add more reinforcement in the high stress areas.

this one is full of gems. front fork as rack?? jb welded hole in block?? worthless cantilever break as throttle cable connector? engine plate made out of craftsman mower deck?? engine power makes the roller bite harder? this thing is so fun. rev it up, dump the clutch, repeat. pops small wheelies. tops out at 22, all motor, 25 if ya pedal. what a treat

well the little 29cc bike is being retired. it is a sad day. BUT, dont fear, my projects always come back better. in this case, i have an almost brand new 5 hp briggs. it has less than an hour of use, and looks factory, no dents not even any dirt packed in the fins, it just happens, that it will fit in the frame of the old 5 speed bike. now i know what you all want to know, and that is, it it gonna have gears? that is a definate yes. i feel that with this power, the gears are gonna be fairly shallow, but i have an idea to combat that. it is gonna be a street bike, as much as that pains me, but the casette doesnt have a creeper gear. i did the math, and i need a 6 to 1 for dirt use, but that will be very hard to make. i can make an...

I've been watching my younger brother tool around on his motorized bike for a couple years. My wife and son had visit to grandma's in San Diego coming up so I figured it would be a good time to give it a go. I'm a big guy (6'4", 285lbs) so this isn't the right toy to try to set a speed record on, but I figured I could put together a fun cruiser for pretty cheap. I had an original budget of $300... but after carefully considering the potential safety issues of the bike, I decided on upgrading to a hub-sprocket setup vs the rag joint and I was none-too-thrilled with the stock tensioner (even the 4-bolt version). I had images of the damn thing falling in to my spokes running through my head and decided an arch-type tensioner was in...

I have this 4 stroke Troy bilt super bronco weed eater motor I want to do a friction drive build for my roadmaster mt fury how would I go about this it looks the same as the 38 cc kits you see and I want somehting I don’t have to spend much money on just to mess with here are pics of the motor and bike I will be using

quickie 10 bolt FD bike. trying to do everything with tools some modest shed in town might have. yes im using a welder, but im limiting myself to a simple flux core unit. no tig, no lathe, no mill, no cnc, no broaching keyways, just a drill press, grinder, tap set, belt sander or a flap attack if youre desparate. i want this to be able to go on any bike with minimum hassle, and everything either clamps on via rubber mounts, or bolts to trailer hitch, waterbottle, rack provisions. may change my rear tire, i dont wanna wreck that one. this is going on my "good testing bike" used for hard enduro, and occasional shenanegans. i want this bike to be able to be returned to normal use. also it saluminum frame, so that may be a challenge. i...

I recently demotored a Schwinn trike I built for my wife. Thought she might enjoy it. Should have known better. Was looking on youtube at bike camper vids when I saw this Briggs bike. I got inspired and had a 24” collecting dust. I like 24s. So came up with this. Finished it yesterday, and have been shaking it down since. Its stretched 10” and sized to fit a Briggs at some point. Its now running on a 142F. I have a bike trailer I need to dust off and use, so this is built around trailer pulling. Looks mean nothing on this build, but I kinda like it. So far it works great, shifts well and cruises nicely. Very pleased with the first impressions. The little 142 is well up to the task. Have more to do to it.

So I have this mini chopper bicycle frame that i want to put a 4-stroke motor on it. The problem is that the frame in the center is too long and some of the bars are oval shaped!! Any ideas on how to get a 4-stroke motor to fit?

First real road going thing I owned was a 1947 Cushman step thru scooter when I was 11. Rode it til I was 15 and got a 57 Triumph Tiger motorcycle. Always wanted another Cushman so I few years back I looked for one. No way I could afford the prices they were bringing. So decided to build something similar. Its scratch built from scrounged materials. Powered by an ungoverned 212 electric start and a clone Tav30. Has a rear hydraulic disc which really hauls it down. Front end is a NOS 65 Suzuki 100. Even has an analog GPS speedo. Its tops in the low 50s and is fairly quick about it. Body removes quickly for service. Its easy and a pleasure to ride.

Hi I’m new here so I thought I would post some pictures of my bike It has a 66cc motor and working paraffin lamps. I built it a few years ago now but recently decided to give it a more vintage look. It always gets a lot of looks and smiles everywhere I go

I built this with my friend for him. It's all my stuff but I'm letting him use it. I should've used this frame for the minarelli but eh, who's counting. I threw on my phantom 85 and a good ol pz22. The tires on here are insanley fast, I mean huge! I really do wish I used this but yet again, who's counting. As of right now using stock exhaust but I'm gonna give him my mz65 and we are going to weld his flange on, then I'm throwing the jog pipe on minarelli. Ignore the awesome pedal replacement. Putting disc brakes on there rn! The front suspension along with the suspension seatpost feels better than my bike ever will.

New build of mine.. had an idea and ran with it. Grabbed a couple ideas off here as well, like the fat arse seat!! 🤣 Fun build but the jackshaft kit took a little tweaking. Made a guard for the chain that doesnt look too bad. Was painting it during pics. BT100 motor (80cc) is what this project is sporting. Runs decent for now, Grabbed a larger tank for it that i will install after driving off the first gallon.

OK, the new build is an abandoned mini bike, but this one has a rear swing arm and shocks and springs. I'll make more post as the progress comes along.

100 hours of fun is finally finished and ready ride into the late Norwegian summer.

Hi guys! Here's my first attempt at building a motorbike. I had got this kit thru bikeberry but found the engine had a good bit of defects. Of course I didn't figure this out till after the engine blew and I dismantled it to discover the flaw. Ended up just buying an Ebay 66/80cc China doll, and before even mounting it I tore it down and replaced everything that looked not so well made. Which was pretty much everything. Its running good but im still breaking it in of course.
