Hi everyone, My name is Ben. Im 17 and looking to make myself a motorized bike. I have made one in the past, a 49cc kit from gasbike. I rushed putting it together, eager to be on the road. Well, lets just say the bike was a crapshot. The chain was running rough, chutch was broken either way it was adjusted, spokes bent, etc. I ended up scrapping the whole bike because i was so mad lol.. but now i wanna be back on the road. I'm gonna take my time on this build.
I am stuck between many kits and options. I have a background with 4 stroke engines. I repair lawnmowers and snowblowers on the side for extra cash. I really enjoyed the predator engines, i had the 99cc one on my mini bike. I really want to make a predator bike, but im unsure if it would be that easy to make. I'm trying to stay with chain driven bikes only. I am aware the engines are only 79cc now, but a 49cc sticker would get me by. Trying to stay away from welding, but I have access to my school welder if needed.
I have seen alot of success with the HT engines if they're maintained and ran right. I weigh 160 lbs and where i live, has a vast array of hills and flat road.
Can anyone share their experience with the predator engines on their bikes? What kind of bike is the best option (cruiser, mountain bike, etc)?
Thanks lots
Ben
