Phatmoto rider

Hi from SOCO!

Hi, I am a motorized bike enthusiast. I like two stroke kits but recently bought and upgraded a 2023 Phatmoto Rover. It was painful slow out of the box but it is a different animal now. I would like to share how I did this relatively easy modification to make the phatmoto a whole different enjoyable experience using only the stock parts that came with the bike. The only tool required is an angle grinder to cut some of the stock pieces.

I plan to eventually add a phatmoto AT to my stable. But that is a long way down the road at the moment.

I say a good choice if you plan on upgrading the engine. The AT has a larger frame.

I'm gonna use one of my briggs flattys. Either the 3hp or 5hp, probably the 3 with a mild build.

I suppose it is a matter of choice but personally I would do the simple things to the 79cc Lifan which cost nothing but makes a world of difference in performance over stock. Stock I was getting 20 mph. With a new 44 tooth rear sprocket and a wired governor achieved 27 mph. I have now removed the governor and modified the carb linkage as I posted. Not sure on speed yet but seems much faster and a pleasure to ride.

When I finally do get one, simplicity and price isn't really my concern.

What happened to your wagon?

What happened to your wagon?

You mean the bike trailer? I posted photos in trailer section. I use sometimes when I only need a few things at the store. Very handy.

ChainLube means in the picture here it looks to be bent towards the back of the trailer.

It has a slight angle. The PVC pipe sits a little back from the steel frame. It was just an easy way to do it.
