Building a Motorized Bicycle - 80cc Engine Kit - 75 mpg

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Building a motorized bicycle using an 80cc engine kit from ebay and a Huffy Nel Lusso cuiser bike purchased from Walmart.
I spent $110 on the eBay engine kit & $119 on the Huffy.
The eBay seller for this kit was "smartmotor"...here is a link to his items for sale ebay.us/Gc44xN
If you prefer shopping on Amazon, here are similar bike kits.

I bought my extra brake on amazon...they have a 73-91mm reach, but they were too short to fit properly. Here is an affiliate link to the one I bought on Amazon:

    Originally, I had cut off the rear rack of my Nel Lusso bike to add a friction-drive Lock N' Load unit to the rear. I have since picked up a couple of 80cc 2-stroke engines and am in the process of watching such videos as this one to get some ideas as to how to set it up in the bike. I put caps on each part of the rack to cover the nubs left on the frame. I removed the fenders and am in the process of building the bike in this manner, now. A tip is to use several quick ties around the center to keep an equal distance when putting that hub sprocket into place. It spaces the area out quite evenly and you simply pull the plastic ties out when finished. I did end up putting a better kick stand onto my bike though. It raises the front of the bike up and telescopes, but it is not meant to have someone sit on the bike when it is in use. Only to hold it up well. I had to laugh as I wondered if you were indeed putting the sprocket on backwards. It was hard to see at first when you were filming it. When I got my packages of engines, I thought right away that it may be a mistake problem that is easy to do if you are not careful. :-) I am not fully through in watching your video just yet, as I keep running out to look at my own bike and check things as I do my build. This is my first build although I have ridden motorcycles most of my lifetime (71 years at present). Thanks for posting this video.

    nice work on the Install Steve FYI i read on some Forum that the Importers of some of theose kits were getting harassed by Attorneys because many bikes people were putting them on had the Factory Welds coming apart because they were not designed to handle the stress the engines added to the bike i’ve noticed that now many of the Websites that do sell them have more details outlined on the bike styles they reccomend installing. the kits on like yours most of them do reccomend a Cruiser style Frame that are usually larger Tubings which theoretically would mean more surface Weld area not necessarily a stronger or better Weld but i guess that can change amount the Manufacturers the Forum i read mentioned the head Tube breaking off and when I was a kid in the 1970s riding Wheelies and doing Jumps i broke that Weld on 3 different bikes i will testify it’s a Gnarly one to have give out when you are riding as you lose your front wheel and Handle Bars that send you head first into the Ground and back then we did not wear Helmets on Bikes and Staples for Skulls we’re not invented yet so the Hospital trip was a painful and long one

Harley anyone can adjust the carburetors right the cables alright and especially the clutch lever cables properly,, depending on the bike and the alignment expect to be ordering more parts or making your own parts and going back and forth to the hardware several times,,,. You will probably need a plumbing torch to heat the exhaust up and slightly bend it to get it out of the way of the pedals,,,. You'll probably need a good battery type drill and drill bits for drilling and reaming out holes,, if it's a coaster brake remove the brake lever on the rim and there's a black plastic or rubber cap remove it and the sprocket will fit down on it snuggly tight and aligned perfectly,,, Set the rear wheel closer to the front cut the chain down to where you don't need a tensioner as a chain stretches you can move the rim back,, if you use a tensioner after it set perfectly drill a 1/8 inch hole through the tensioner and just one side of the lower tube frame rail and use a ,,, S 12 self-tapping screw in there to hold the tension straight or ill end up ripping your spokes out,,,.

    ok, hey guess what, all you "boost bottle" freaks out there using them on 2 stroke motors, you're dumbasses, that increases the heat and completeness of the fuel burn, but in 2 stroke motors, if the fuel burns too high, so does the oil added to it !!! the pistons can't maintain an optimal amount of residue for lubrication you fools, you have to do far more frequent breakdown maintenance and the piston walls and rings also take greater wear and tear, needing replacement far sooner (like 5x less life), and to be honest, they give bicycle motors a bad name when users claim that the motor was a piece of shit and not worth the money, so people who were interested see these complaints and either change their minds or go for ebike motors, LOSE THE BOTTLES !!!

Is there any other advice that you could give me as far as installation and preparation that would make operation of bike complete? I bought a 26" Ross mountain bike from a thrift store for $20. Im no stranger to bikes. Everything looks good on it. No cracks in welds or anywhere. Will replace tires, tubes, and brake pads of course.

    my father's an experienced mechanic and has lots of experience with bicycle motor I found out, here's what he says... because of how 2 stroke engines use the fuel/oil mix to lube, much of it burns off but still leaves some residue, most oil additives are designed for 4 stroke motors, using oil additives in 2 strokes can not only REDUCE the efficiency of the fuel burning off, but the residues themselves actually increase the need for regular maintenance more frequently and CAUSE long term damage and reduction of engine life, and believe it or not, using full or blend synthetic oils in the fuel/oil also REDUCE fuel efficiency because of the higher resistance to high heat and ignition, a strait up proprietary, pure 2-stroke oil and shell premium with nitrogen is best. also, do not use fuel additives that add octane, on small 2 stroke engines they serve no purpose, the compression is not sufficient enough to be of any benefit. DO NOT use fuel additives that have lots of detergents, except when doing breakdown maintenance, the engine relies heavily on the oil residue to lubricate and detergent additives in oils break down that function causing increased wear and tear, increasing the frequency of maintenance and reducing engine life. if you insist on using a supplemented oil (an oil with additives) or oil additives anyway, NEVER, EVER, EVER use ones that have or add metallic and/or flammable substances such as zinc and phosphorus, these are optimized for 4 stroke engines, because 2 stoke engines burn off the oils, the metallic additives create deposits that actually damage the piston walls and rings, further increasing the need for breakdown maintenance and reducing engine life, as for flammable additives such as phosphorus and sulphates, these burning off in the engine create acids and cause severe corrosion in these smaller engines especially. keep your oils and fuels as pure as possible and it will help greatly when you intend on storing your bike for more than 60 days, empty the fuel tank and add a fuel stabilizer but NO oil, when you decide to go and ride again, add the requisite amount of oil, then idle the engine for 10 minutes, shut down for 30-45+ minutes for cool down, then go and have fun try and remember, "2 stroke" & "4 stroke" are NOT numbers, they are completely different types of engines, and need to be treated as such. I do recommend an oil additive called 'nanolub csx', but NOT for mixing in the fuel, it makes an AWSOME lubricant for external moving parts on the engine and bicycle and chain, may your bikes "Live Long & Prosper"

Very good job at making a video that's easily understood. You should find out about making a Dvd that distributers could put in their kits. For a small fee. Thanx again! 👍👍👍 P. S. How are your tires doing? Especially the rear. Are you having to replace them often? I have 300 miles on mine which were brand new and rear tire is wearing out faster than front. I've got 40psi in them to create less drag. Think too much air?

    If you go to the Wal-Mart's website you can get this same oil in gallon jugs for $12. Some stores may keep it on the shelf but I had order it through their site to store website, then pick it up. They sent me an email 1 hour later saying my oil was ready to pick up and I was thinking, "WOW that was fast". Turns out my Wal-Mart actually keeps these 1 gallon jugs in the back room but does not keep them on the shelf. I guess to make space for other items. Having a Trabant, Polaris ATV and other 2 stroke powered machines, I go through allot of two cycle oil. So I usually mix up about 20 gallons at 40:1 at a time. So it's best to buy it in bulk.

    I really want to try one of these out as kind of an interesting project. The only thing that worries me is that I live in California and while I know that the DMV is cool with something like this, I've read on a few places that the California Air Resource Board only allows these engines for closed course usage. I really wonder how strictly that is enforced though, I doubt most police officers would be aware of that unless the department has had issues with these kinds of bikes.
