    Easiest way to hit 50 is to fix the motorcycle shown in the first few clips. The next is a transmission. A 30 or 40 series torque converter from a go-kart is probably the easiest. You'll also need proper speed rated tires and thicker than bicycle chain.

    I build streetlegal motorcycles with that Predator 420cc and get 60 mph out of them. Proper gearing is key, It should have a 6 to 1 gearing. For example, I run a 10-tooth on the clutch, and a 60-tooth rear sprocket on a 24-in rear tire and about 4600 rpm will get 55mph+. Correct gearing and that motor will make your bicycle a lethal threat! Stock rpm on an equipment motor is usually 3600, if you bypass the governor you will get more rpms.

  • @custombikesandtrikes4374

    RPMs is the issue. Stock rpm on an equipment motor is 3600 and with some aftermarket parts, you can bump it up around a couple thousand more rpms. Most modern motorcycles can run north of 6000+ rpms and have the torque and gearing to get there. Small engines lack all of that, especially in stock form. That's why a 420cc ain't going 80mph.

    1. make sure the front main sprocket and rear drive gear are exactly in line with each other vertically (same vertical plane). 2. add a small gear to the chain tensioner to prevent horizontal sliding of the chain. 3. don't try to mix bicycle parts and motorcycle parts (namely gears and chains on the same path) 4. make sure your high mounted axle is 90 degrees to the direction of the frame and is level with the ground 5. just saw the worst problem seems to be the chain on the cassette drive (5 gears on right rear) is sliding on your makeshift cyclindrical chain tensioner and is throwing the chain, if not attempting to jump to another gear. I can see it in a single-frame screenshot. If you have and address, I can send you the screenshot with an arrow.

    I built a motorized bike this way with a luggage rack and an 80cc predator back in college. Watching this gave me all the flashbacks... I learned so much about how not to do it, but the main thing to fix it was getting the clutch springs right and a chain tensioner. The high center of balance was horrible to keep the bike upright when stopped, but I couldn't really fix that. The chain coming off and locking the back tire going about 25 mph was brown pants worthy.

    My comment is gone. Use #40 or #420 chain and sprockets on both sides. 10T on Clutch, 20T on clutch side of jackshaft, 10T on other side of jackshaft, 20T on drive wheel…. 53mph at engine speed of 3600RPM. Use CVT, not centrifugal clutch, if you will do a lot of stop and go or low speed driving. Gearing the bike for 50mph, but driving much slower burns and eats clutches. Continuously variable transmissions, cvts, torque converters,…. Are better for allowing a wider range of speeds. Do not use 1/4” pitch chains or sprockets. No bicycle chains or sprockets allowed with 420cc.

Plus, the Go-kart engine has a clutch mounted to the side of the engine to where u give it throttle, you GO. I am sorry I cannot spell the word. "T-force clutch". Good Luck! Steve

    Torque converter and proper chain tensioner would do amazing things for ya. You need disc brakes and larger road worthy wheels as well. Also there are calculators online to get the correct gear ratio to go as fast as you want

    Max Fosh and The Arsenal appearing in a Preston Goes video was extremely unexpected but very welcome COYG

    Already a Headphone Kit Modification: Either disassemble headphones or do modification upon building headphone kit. The Tyvek/felt on the back of the driver baskets covering the vent holes, take it off with a sharp pencil by poking through to the vent holes without damaging the cones or cut covering from baskets with a knife or an xacto knife, and pack cups with fiberglass from an aquarium shop upon reassembly. This allows driver cones more excursion on bass notes for more tone!

    Nicely made is the process well done.
