- Looking for a bike kit? Here's one I recommend: amzn.to/3214jkj
A few years ago I made a video demonstrating how to install a motorized bike kit. I wanted to remake the video to include some additional information that was left out of the first one.
Here is a video demonstrating how I built a bike work stand: • How to Build a Bike Wo... - Фільми й анімація
Protip: get some thick rubber hosing, cut two small sections off, and put it between the frame and the two motor mounts before bolting everything down. This cuts down greatly on vibration. Your testicles will thank you!

Mmmm,me love cookie😁
I've been biking at least 30+ miles every week.... you sir have just changed my life, brilliant
still use it?
i ride a pedal bike 80 km each morning and again each night and i am 45. not impressed
@@jen3800 you wouldn't be impressed because you don't know what it feels like to have stuffed knees bozo.
@@jen3800 impossible
@@roeg9320 ha ha ha! you are funny! I ride a Specialized Tarmac, use clipless pedals and ride and train daily. Why is that impossible? Are you that fat, slow , stupid and lazy?
You have the best self explained video of anyone I seen installing this kit . I'll just be watching this tomorrow when I install my 80 cc tribble 6 . Thanks for your help when I finish I'll be back to update how it went and I appreciate you very much thanks brother .
Cool stuff! Great job being concise and framing shots so clearly. Obv, you do this a lot but I'm surprised with how many subpar tutorial videos are out there. Thank you!
I just bought one of these kits and I'm waiting for the beach cruiser to arrive. This was the best presentation I have seen yet. Thanks for making it.
How was this the best you ever seen he never installed the gas filter and he never showed you how to center the rear sprocket for the chan.
@@alanballard7466 good point however you can’t spell either
So unless you are gonna do a better job
Wtf
@alanballard7466 The rear sprocket part was the reason I watched the video. I just gave up and pray mine doesn't present a problem. 😆
Great explanation. I enjoyed watching your video. By far one of the best videos on this topic. Also your frame seemed to fit so good. I hope that my install will go as smooth. I am waiting for my motor to arrive. I never thought about just sliding the grip shifter in to accommodate the twist throttle. Mahalo, jusride7.
Thanks for the comment! It is still nice to have the ability to shift gears, and trigger shifters can be expensive, so sliding the grip shifter in can be a good compromise.
If you didn't have the forethought to consider what to do with the shifters on a multi speed bike you probably shouldn't be putting motors on things... That's just my opinion. I mean you can't be very technically minded if moving something to make more room so something will fit didn't cross your mind.
Thank U so much sir, out of all the UA-cam videos on how to install these, your video was the one I understood most.
Dude the way you did this video was perfect! Straight to the point!
0:41, "Boy, that escalated quick.."
It's not the bike with fast speed it's call fast forward on the camera lol.. I've got 1 it's fun looking for a cheap bike to buy going to do another one
i made my bike over 1 1/2 years ago so i decided on listing my recommended parts for a motorized bicycle that you should put on to make your bike last
1. BBR Tuning Sprocket Adapter Assembly: www.bikeberry.com/bbr-tuning-sprocket-adapter-assembly.html
2. dual brake lever: www.bikeberry.com/sunlite-alloy-dual-brake-lever.html
and 3. clutch cable lock: www.motorizedbicycle.ca/clutch-parts/clutch-cable-lock.html
bike berry doesn't have #3 so i listed another link so you can get an idea on what you need.
also if you live in canada go to this webside for the engine kit: motorizedbicycle.ca
also don't get the cns high performance carburetor! it is not good for beginners and the jet needle falls out of its place if your carburetor is empty
Great video with all the steps, and cautionary advice.
This was a really good explanation of how to install this kit
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. My engine arrived partially disassembled. Does anyone know where I can find a "how to" on assembling it?
great video!
+TheBouncyGamer Thanks!

what is the cost of the kit and where do you buy them?
man where was this video last year lol. those kits or atleast the one i got didnt come with any instructions at all took me just about a day to get everything just right. great video and as these kits become more and more popular people will be coming here to watch how to do it.
One of the better how to videos....
Especially since none of the kits come with instructions....
And for all you so called pro's he gave a very good basic instructions......
Wish all you pro's would make some instructional videos....
Might just some of us from throwing tools....
THanks for this very informative video. The kit you link to is $99US. Is that the price for the complete kit? That is a great price. Others are much more on EBay. Is the motor dangerously hot? Will I burn my legs or pant leg. Can a different muffler make it quieter? How do you think the four stroke engine would be different?
Where I live in lower Baja Mexico, the price of gas is already very expensive. It is going to jump another 20% in a couple of days. This is a very practical solution to transportation problems for a lot of people who are really struggling with making ends meet. I am going to buy a kit and try it out. I wouldn't want to buy the wrong kit and I'll appreciate your feedback. I'll look for your other videos. Thank you again.
Hey linda! Love Baja, I travel a bit down to Loreto and Cabo, maybe I'll see you ripping along one day. The price on eBay for $100 would be for the full kit, but keep in mind some sellers list low and charge a lot for shipping and handling. It may be more cost effective to find an identical product with a higher list price and free shipping, I find that often ends up being more affordable.
The motor is hot, but located out of the way. I have never accidentally touched it when riding. You can potentially make it a bit quieter with an expansion pipe exhaust, but it'll still be fairly loud. A 4 stroke engine is more expensive but quieter and less smokey but in my opinion harder to fix if anything goes wrong.
+RCexperimental thank you for this video I know you uploaded it two years ago. I just bought an 80cc kit and I only got to putting tank and motor on now I got to watch your video again when I go to finish it up... thank you I hope to figure this out lol
great video... do you have a recommendation where to buy the kit? because there are some out there selling not so great quality kits
Honestly they're all pretty similar and will have some quality control issues. Get the cheapest one you can find, and spend the time on maintenance and upkeep. eBay has the cheapest options from what I've seen.
www.grubeeinc.com/ seen at 8:13
yeah i would go with ebay thats where i got my kit from and i put it on my mountain bike and then i was given the California cruiser style bike and i swapped the kit over and those cruisers are a way better bike to put the kit on
My man, thanks. looks simple enough! and very handy instructions
Thank you so much man this is really a good video I really like how you started by putting the engine on instead of putting those carbon disks on the wheel like other videos You really made the simpler and easier thank you so much
People with knowledge of mechanics usually go for the most difficult part of any job first. Installing the rings of rubber made out of old used tires is the most difficult to align so the sprocket is straight. Carbon rings!? Lol .
What an amazing jump in quality from the outdated video!! This is great content, thanks for making it. I have a question, as I'm looking at kits online (so many!!), I can never tell if one is complete or if I need to get things with it, which drives the price up. There are always things offered with the kit, and I never know if they are necessary or not.
+Arthur Sperotto Thanks! Almost all the kits include everything you'd need, and should run about $140.A lot of the ad-ons are for performance enhancers that really don't do much in my honest opinion.
@@RCexperimental I really like this video it helped me out but is there anyway I can do this without cutting though fiber disks
@@Parsa8237 unfortunately the only (very impractical) way to not have to cut the disk (you only need to cut 1 of them btw...just the one that goes inside the wheel) is to remove all of the spokes on that 1 side...put the disk in...& then reinstall all of the spokes again.
Short answer...yes...but cutting it won't be a problem as the installed sprocket will hold it together again after it is installed.
3:40 Why is that satisfying?
I found it disturbing, because he tightened it fully from one side. You're supposed to tighten the screws bit by bit, alternating the sides. :)
I didn't tighten it fully from that side, just until it was flush and square then alternated both until tight.
+RCexperimental Haha! Great video BTW, I really loved it :)
I love it! Thank you. I look forward to sharing my experience with you
This is totally awesome. I sent it to my love, he's doing the same thing. Good work bro.
did he build one?
Is it me or does this guy sound like an older version of the UA-cam known as "Chills"??
Ikr
Lol I'm dead
Will a 20cc chain saw motor work fine
Brayden Pleydell yes
What a really good how to video. My buddy had an electric bike like this. It was awesome.
+RCSuperPowers Thanks! They're a lot of fun, that's for sure.
youre such a cool man i like you a lot and your talent for reinventing an ordinary pedal bike i hope i can have one done by you. thanks.
YEAH,Chek DEEZ Nuts Regularlee (2:02)
Quick question, if I want to install this on a geared bike, would the gears still work and everything if I don't use the motor?
Yes
Yes
not trying to be rude dude but once you put the engine on you should be able to quickly figure out the answer to your question and even just from watching this video should be able to figure it out just by visually looking how its setup. I mean think about it, all you're doing is hooking the bike up to a motor and you're not taking your gears off and you're not connecting every one of those sprocket gears to the motor and you're not disconnecting any of the cables that run up from the derailers all the way to your handlebars. So if none of those connections are being changed replaced or cut then why wouldn't it work if you wanted to switch gears without the engine? Of course it would still work... Sorry but I have to throw one last thing into this long comment....
DUH, 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Yeahhh

Great Video.Thank you.# suggestions.#1-Use Lock-Tite(Blue) on the head,exhaust,and motor mount nuts.#2-I used a washer clamped onto the handlebar with Vice-grips to keep the drillbit from sliding.#3-I drilled a hole through the chain tensioner and into the frame and used a bolt so it can't slid,or get pulled into the spokes.Oh...BTW..make sure your carburator float bowl is level before final engine mounting.
oops..meant 'can't slip'....not'slid'.LoL.
Great points! Thanks for adding that.
I subbed, your video was excellent, you are a natural.
Using needle nose pliers as a wrench
Wake N Bake Good way to strip bolts fam
lol :D , can u do a wheelie with this? :D
EstoniaPlayerHD yes and no... you can but you shouldn't puts a lot of stress on your bike
Dang you've come along way haha, just watched one of your old videos
Very useful video it helped me a lot, good lob!!
but my bike is 24 inch wheels. How will I install it on there?
it should work
You fucking idiot v frame
Would you like a refund
hi there I'm very interested in buying this but am not sure on uk law?
In most places it's somewhat unclear if these are road legal, I've talked to a few police officers about it and generally the consensus is that if you're careful and respectful you can get away with it.
+RCexperimental can you give me link to this motor?
BEWARE - You need a special license for these! A stupidity license! These bike motor kits SUCK! I tried one a
few years back! And of course, I don't have it anymore. The crap just vibrated apart after a few hours of use! Also it messed up my old bike too! Later I resorted to just buying a few minibikes with 4-6 HP motors instead!
stephen gaertner it depends mayby you got a faulty product and there are different laws in different countries in sweden its legal where i live i own a scooter and im 13 and i drive it legally
stephen gaertner Maybe you just did a shitty job at assembling 😂
nice video I assemble them myself and this is a good guide! :)
this day i find a guy with this type of bike and i find your video random ^^ thx nice video ;)
+m. edu Thanks!
does this work with BMX hibam
What size is the BMX?
that's cool !!! How much for the kit??
the kit i bought was $112.00 but i saw one on ebay that was $99.99 and today it dropped to $95.00
can you put a link where you bought it from please?
yeah pls!!! The link!!!

Good presentation. Noisy though needs a better suppressor.
Thanks for the video. I'm just starting out and your video was very informative. I live in Phoenix so I'm thinking I'd be better off with a 4 stoke engine - temp wise. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm taking my time researching everything so hopefully I won't come across too many surprises.
Awesome video....very help. Thank you😉
This guy bullyed my grandmas fish
Yaboi Tubby whaaa???
can you pls if you can tell me the links of the all items the engine and about all the parts that I will need because I dont know and I dont know and very good English pls?
You can save yourself trouble and just buy a Simple Engine kit. Here is the link for one.

He forgot to install the fuel filter
XD
It was connected to the fuel switch
If you check at 0:45 there was no filter in this kit?
7:18
It is not necessary, but it is good to be installed
Just make sure you throw away the supplied rag joint sprocket assembly. Replace it with the Manic Mechanic clamshell sprocket adapter and sprocket. mmbikeparts.com
Should be step 1
clear-and-concise....thankyou
This is a great 100% tutorial video. THANKS

What kind of bike and kit did you use specifically? They seemed to work so well together it would be super helpful to know! Thanks :)
NICE MAN AND THANK YOU FOR THE UP DATE WAS LOOKING AT THE OLD ONE BUT GOOD STUFF
A very good video, Thanks !
Great work 👌🏼
Cool deal dude ! I would suggest using some lok tite (blue) I am in the planning phase, I think I am going to step it up a bit with 4 stroke 3hp from bike berry a little more expensive but more torque and engine life top speed 35 mph that complete kit is $269.00
Build one of these last year, lasted around 3 months then something happened to the motor, just got another kit and going to put it on next week!
Thank u for helping me to do this
super video! I just bought one but a question : how much oil % in a full tank?
nice video that helped me
This guy is riding right near my old house I know that park👀
I also know exactly where you live. You live near the Safeway! Great video too.
very good project bro
Great job
awesome brother
hey man props on the video it was very straightforward and I need a little assistance hopefully I can reach out to you thank you
Well done.
Hi. I liked the way you worked and explained your project. I have a project myself but I don't know if it is gionna work. Maybe I could use some help from your experience. Where do you live/work? I am in Vancouver/Canada.
GREAT VIDEO , THANKS
great video, btw where is place to buy the kit? it's very difficult to buy engine kit in my country.
Thanks for the cool vid man, I'm thinking of buying an 80cc engine, I have an old mountain bike... however the brake and gear cables travel along the top of the cross-bar...would this interfere with the installation of the fuel tank or is there a solution? Thanks again.
just put a pvc pipe or some plastic in between the wires & tank
very good, thanks a lot!
great video good job
Thanks!
great video
+Ameer Hamza Thanks!
Great video, where does the white cable go? and how much oil should I use for 5L of petrol
Very very very excellent I like it
good, nice project
may be
I would love to see this on a vintage racing bicycle.
Tom Jacobs look at profile pic :P I did it on a 1986 Raleigh
I think it's funny that you say to get the clams "as tight as possible" but later warn about the risk of breaking the exhaust studs on the cylinder head. All studs are capable of stripping, or breaking if you gorrilla them. Be careful when doing this, and a torque wrench is a great idea. You can rent them from a local autoparts store.
The exhaust studs on the cylinder head are typically a lower quality material than the studs on the engine clamp, and it's a less structural component of this build also. If the muffler loosens off the bike'll be a little louder, but if the engine clamps loosen the whole motor could shift or even come off the frame. The average user wouldn't bother with torquing the nuts, so this is why I make the suggestion to tighten the engine studs as much as possible but warn specifically about damaging the exhaust studs. All from personal experience building multiple motorized bikes.
Thanks for the Video, have tried this on a 29inch bike? I'm trying to get one. Thanks
awesome buddy
Beatiful movie 👍 Thank you so much
Just curious how reliable are these engines, how long would it last before requiring a rebuild? Also is there a way to quieten them down?
Thx for the video
thanks for video
really nice
Why do you suggest that we should not use a bike with disc breaks? I don't truly understand why not but as i want to have a go at this, I think its a good idea for me to know and you sound like the guy who knows :-) Also what price should we be considering paying for one of the kits? Any suggestions on where to get a kit from in the UK?
Thanks Liz
im gonne build a boardtracker with my dad so thnx for the video
very nice video
Thanks!
Ik heb liever een Puch maxi die wat stevig is een en wheelie kan maken, maar nog steeds goed gemaakt
Nice one
Hey Tim. Roughly 3 weeks ago i ordered my 80cc engine kit for my 26'' Cranbrook Cuiser and as of two days ago I completed my project (also with i that 3 weeks of buy tools extra nuts, etc). Well what I'm having a problem with is pedaling my bike (doesn't matter if I'm engaging the clutch or not). While putting together my bike I watched all videos closely to understand everything. Yet wondering did i do something to make my bike difficult to pedal at all or is that normal?
does it sound like the pistons are rotating when you pedal with clutch in? if they are you need to adjust the clutch tighter so it take the engine out of gear when trying to start it.
Weird Tech tip - you can use Elmer's Glue from preventing Nuts and Bolts from coming loose. it'll hold them On, but you can also take them off again. It doesn't get rock hard like super glue.
9:09 whn u flew by him!! He was lookn like!!..... ?? 😂😂😂👍
On the sprocket the concave side should be facing out no the convex side because It gives your chain clearance from the tire... when installing the sprocket tighten the bolt alternately
good video
thanks for that asome vid
how much did it cost for this build how much experience does one need to mount that kit how long did it take you
very nice work man but how much it will cost if you buy that item and where can i buy them?.
im from the philippines.
