When you need a reliable standard everyday bike to ride that doesn't give you any bike build problems, I have found over the years this style build has proven to be tried & true.
I would love to see how you fabricated and welded the mount on . Good video . I built one with this bike and I think they have some swagger as they look cool . I always re-grease the hubs crank and headset as I don't trust box store bikes for this . I also added side pull calipers as I don't think the coaster breaks are safe . I reinforce the fenders so they won't cause an accident down the road .
Thanks for watching..😎 For the engine mount I use mild steel & replicate the engine plate that comes with the kit ( I don't have a lot of faith in the china steel) I started doing that years ago after I noticed people were having to tighten that front u - bolt from time to time ( they seem to stretch after a few tightens). Also I prefer my carbs to sit flat or at least flat as possible because they are carbs with a float & they like to be level.. You can Tig or Mig weld it to the bike depending on your welding capabilities. I also agree that you can't trust the store to lube things properly so I just order them un assembled & build them from the ground up so I know it's done properly & gives the customer the best longevity possible..
After watching this video I think I will need to purchase a hub mount sprocket as my chain is hitting the side of the rear tire, with the hub mount sprocket will It still have clearance issues with the coaster brake arm? Thank you
A Hub mount will definitely help you with these issues. It give you more control over adjustments from left to right for chain clearance & gives you a straighter turning sprocket , so you won't have chain issues in the future.. 🚴♂🚴♂
Hey how did you get the bearings tight mine has the clamp on but the bearings won’t get tight. I think it’s because the sporket goes on before the coster brake any suggestions?
I'm not sure what exactly what your saying..?? The sprocket does go on before the coaster brake arm.. From what I can guess is that maybe the inner parts of the hub have not been installed correctly & you may need to have a bike shop re-install those parts for you..
@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes hey I got it it was my cone nuts. I accidentally put the sprocket on and though the wheel was tight. Then It came loose because I did not tighten it with my wrench. All good now
Hello, first thing thank you for all great videos! I'm building my first motorized bicycle using a triple 40 Zeda 80, I'm still looking for a bicycle to install it on? My question/ do you recommend a rear sprocket adapter kit and where to purchase ? I don't like the idea of the Rag Joint system. Thank you
Thanks for checking out the page & I hope one of these videos helps you get your bike up & rolling..👍 Now I do recommend a Alum. sprocket adapter, ( not trying to be a salesman I just offer parts that I know from experience will 100% work on a persons build.) Having said that..The adapter I use I have to buy in bulk & they don't have a brand name, they are the best adapter I've found through the years, they don't slip on the hubs & damage spokes & they can be used with your stock sprocket ( no need to buy a more expensive alum. sprocket) 👍 If you check out the video on my page Standard rag joint vs CNC Hub mount you can see how well it works & compare it to others you my have already seen.. Even if you don't get one of these, before you buy one you'll need to decide what type of wheel your going to put it on..Free wheel or coaster brake because the size of the hub matters when buying one from any where...just a friendly tip.. Good luck with your build..🚴♂️ Feel free to check out my web site to take a look at those hub mounts...ecotransgaspoweredbicycles.com/
The engine mount just allows you to mount the engine to the bigger frame tube. I'm not sure what you're asking about the chain tensioner, but usually the first step is to shorten the chain to the proper length you need (Usually they give you more length than you need so you have to remove a few links) after you shorten the chain then you can install the tensioner. If you don't shorten the chain, no matter where you place the tensioner the chain will have way too much slack
Different wheels have different spoke sizes. That's not something that one size fits all. Me personally, I take them to the bike shop & let them handle it while I'm working on the bike itself, that way the whole job is done correctly the first time & everybody wins.
I think I know what your asking... If your rear wheel hub & coaster brakes are fine but you are going to change over to let's say disc brakes & you just don't want the rear brakes to be used in the rear wheel, I would say just remove the brake arm from the wheel, with out that they can't work.🤷♀️ Now if your rear wheel hub has damage inside of it & you just want to remove the brake parts from inside the hub of the wheel I don't think I would do that, I wouldn't have any faith in that wheel for riding.
I use an acetylene torch & heat up the pipe and give it a slight bend to clear the crank arm, afterwards I sand & repaint the pipe with ceramic engine heat paint. Whatever method you choose to use don't try to bend it while it's attached to the engine, it will break the cylinder & ruin your engine. 🚴♂🚴♂
Are you in Miami by any chance? I bought this bicycle today and I looks so similar I could swear is the same one from the video hahaha awesome video btw thank u for sharing
This bike has a coaster brake in the rear wheel.. Most people don't ride them that fast & the coaster brake works just fine, but if you are going to be riding one that fast it's a good idea to upgrade the brake system by adding some caliper brakes or going with a disc brake set up..
@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikesawesome thanks , I have the F-Zero BBR now , but I’d like to do a cruiser been looking at this Hyper looks like a good candidate. I have an extra set of 26” disc brake spoke wheels should go right on that bike…
I really need help I am new building a motorized bicycle I am all done with it I was just wondering how much oil do I have to put in when I brake the engine in
I'm sending you a link to one of our videos that keeps it simple for you to remember,we always use a 50:1 Ratio & has proven to be just fine oua-cam.com/video/hfx5hEKl2Nkn/v-deo.html all our bikes..it is one gallon of gas & one bottle of oil = for each gallon of gas you buy use 1 small bottle of oil & you will be just fine with your mix..Just for some friendly advice: when your engine is new & you just get it running ride it for the first tank of fuel at a moderate pace give the engine a little time to break in before you go out and run it fast for a long period of time... ua-cam.com/video/hfx5hEKl2Nk/v-deo.html
If you have any other questions feel free to send me a message & I'll help you any way I can... Also we have other repair videos on our page that may be able to help you in the future...Hope you enjoy your new gas powered bike..!!!
I wish I could help you with that question, it all depends how much the bike cost at the time & how much the engine kit cost & the time it took to assemble it...I'm sorry there are just too many variables to say that one particular bike should only cost X amount of dollars...
Yes this is a coaster brake bike..👍 No it was not removed from inside the wheel, it works as it was designed to.. If your having problems with your coaster brake the best way to fix it is just to buy a new rear wheel that way your brakes will work properly when you need them..🚴♂️
@@asadullahkhan9204 Coaster brake bikes work just fine, it will only stop as hard as you apply the brake. If your new to motorized bikes just take your time when you first start out & get used to it before you go out & ride in any traffic. Your coaster brake will work just fine for you.
@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikesThanks my friend. My last questions is did you ever fing that the coaster break slowed you down while riding. Like is it easy to clamp your foot down unintentionally while riding? Or so you have a lot of control over it?
@@asadullahkhan9204 No not at all, if you don't apply them by back pedaling then they won't come on at all while riding..The only thing coaster brakes don't like is if your riding at a high rate of speed & apply them hard,it will try to move the pedals forward, that's how you'll know you were going too fast for the brake system.. ( Just a friendly tip) Also I have a video on my page that explains it a little better, it's about coaster brakes. Other than that you will do just fine, get out there & enjoy riding your new bike.👍🚴♂️.
@@frankelias89er I don't know what Wal-Mart charges for this bike, you can go to their site & see what they are selling it for. I order all of our bikes from different distributors when they are available.
I have the same bike but made some changes. First & most important is the handlebars, they are light flimsy aluminium, on this bike with a motor on it going 30 mph these handlebars feel like you are holding on to a wet noodle, very unsafe !!! I bought some steel bicycle handlebars from Amazon, put those on & the difference in stability was incredible. Those original bars are Garbage !!! The second thing I did was put a long exhaust on it. It runs at about half the loudness as the original exhaust with the added benefit of not having to worry about bumping the muffler on anything. Take a look at mine you'll see what I mean. I also have a hub on the back, it slipped & tore up my wheel. Before putting on the new wheel I I cut a groove in the inside of the hub then put a few welds on the wheel hub that fit into the cut that I made in the gear hub. the result is the same as a key locking it in place it is impossible for it to slip now.
Thanks for sharing your story about your bike & I'm glad you got your personal issues with your bike taken care of & improved. Speaking of only my experiences with this particular bicycle, they have all been great reviews,no complaints, people actually all comment on how comfortable it is to ride.However I must say it all depends on what a persons doing with the bike & what they expect it to do for them. Here we only build 49cc bikes(I have nothing against the bigger engines)because our law states that it has to be a 49cc & not go over 21 mph & beings we mostly cater to people who don't have a DL I keep the build with in the limits so people don't have any legal issues while using them, they usually already have enough problems, & let's be sensible about it too, bicycles were never designed to go 30+mph. After reading your story about your bike & issues, I can relate to buying different styles & prices of rear hubs & they aren't all the same, some of the cheaper ones weren't machined very accurate & didn't tighten down properly,so we would have to put it in the lathe & turn it down a bit so it would squeeze down & grip like it's supposed too, your fix was a good idea also. When we build them we have to keep it as simple to repair as possible because most people don't have access to a welder or a lathe after taking it home. Just to share a final thought ; for the people that do have the big motors & fast bikes we have in the past drilled & taped the hub for a hex head set screw as an extra insurance policy against slipping... Thanks for sharing your story about your bike because sometime our little problem help others not have the same little problems... I hope you have a good day & get time to get out & ride your bike and enjoy riding it..!!
@@justinbutler8416 That's ok, there'll be other style bikes you can put it on if this particular bike bike isn't available, the bike companies change bike styles every couple years anyway, there's nothing you can do, the bike I ride they haven't made for about 5 yrs now.
There are a couple things you can do; 1st If your using the standard rag joint that comes in your kit sometimes you can remove & flip over your sprocket IF you have the beveled sprocket ( sometimes they send you a flat sprocket). You can check out my DIY series that has to do with the rear sprocket.( It might help in your case) 2nd If your using a rear hub mount they give you a bit of side to side adjustment & you still might have to remove the sprocket & flip it over to get the clearance you need.. 3rd Some times if all else fails you may be able to loosen the drive sprocket side of the wheel & angel the wheel just a bit toward the pedal chain side & that might give you just enough clearance.. Naturally you want your wheel as straight as possible but a little angel to the right side of the bike shouldn't hurt a thing..I hope this helps you get going..If you need a bit more help we can video chat & perhaps I can help walk you through fixing your problem..
@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes thank you alot I will try all these and If I still can't manage to get the chain to stop touching I'll video call you and maybe you could help me out some more . And if you were wondering I have the same bike in this video

Quick question do you have to use that coaster brake, or do you have to change the inside of the rim, to neglect that part
I think I know what your asking...

Is that bike frame like the Kent sea change or huffy crankbrook?
I would say it's more like a Cranbrook. Kent Sea Changes look like Cranbrook's, but they are more difficult to install an engine on..🤷♂
I order a kit from Amazon and my pedal hits the exhaust any advice on how to fix it
I use an acetylene torch & heat up the pipe and give it a slight bend to clear the crank arm, afterwards I sand & repaint the pipe with ceramic engine heat paint.

How did you machine the sprocket
I use a Lathe, but you can use a hole saw with a drill.
