I'm retired and a collector of odd mechanical contrivances(drive a Citroen and a Puch twingle motorcycle). Through my friend I've gotten some riding time on five different Motorbicycles. Absolutly thrilling....At only 35 miles per hour and I was scared to death. I'm now working with Firebelly Cycles to build one for me.
You might imagine I've made some peculiar requests(four inches of fork travel,5 speed tranny,four stroke engine,Worksman chassis)and it's coming along just fine. I hope to post tales of trips to ridicules destinations....Starting when the rain stops Regards Snackbar ]]> Introduce Yourself Akbar a.

I have led a sheltered life in regards to tools and creativity. always in the garage as a shop monkey but never was shown how or why. Well I'm an adult now and tired of staring lovingly at all the projects that I see online, and in books or magazines. One of the projects that I am hopping to be able to do in a few years is a custom designed recumbent bike. One that can be switched out from a crank and go system, to either a fuel based engine or better yet a steam boiler system (I can dream right?)

I live in southern Wyoming, but I never felt that the town was honestly large enough to own a car. 30 - 40 min drive across town max, Maybe in traffic. and everything is located on two thirds of one side of town.

.xx.
With my most recent auto problems rendering my car totaled, I remembered my old bike in the shed, but it needs some work. So looking in to alternate options A friend suggested this forum to me. I have to admit the cost of a simple build would be cheaper by far then any vehicle. What with fuel costs, and Insurance, and maintaining the dang thing. The only advantage I can see would be protection from the harsh winds and frigid winter season we have here.

So there you have it, and here I am! ]]> Introduce Yourself Gangrell http://motorbicycling.com/f14/salutations-13063.html Sup folks, from Sydney Australia http://motorbicycling.com/f14/sup-folks-sydney-australia-13058.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:37:24 GMT Hi.

Last night while browsing I discovered engine kits for bikes, and whamo they're going to revolutionize my riding with the misses.

So here's the deal; the wife can't peddal up hill, she aint fat, she just hates peddling... so I got her a lightish bike with road tyres 16" frame. The bar that connects the steering column to the crank is oversized around 40mm.


I basically see 2 types excluding electric.
1.- Those that site over the back wheel
2.- Those that go in the middle with a tank on the top

Now if it was for me I'd go with 2, but I already have a motorbike (BMW K1300R) so cycling is for excursive ... and the Mrs is a little fussy so I figured I'd sneak one on that could be removed quickly.

What do guys recommend for a woman who has the above bike?

Thanks folks! ]]> Introduce Yourself rayone http://motorbicycling.com/f14/sup-folks-sydney-australia-13058.html Hi from Dave, Canberra, Australia http://motorbicycling.com/f14/hi-dave-canberra-australia-13056.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:10:27 GMT Hi y'all, found your FANTASTIC site after being inspired by a motored schwinn style cruiser I saw a couple of weeks ago. But I also thought, hmmm needs a funkier frame and then I found the boardtrack racer! Some great builds here guys, real lookers.

I've just stripped down a donor, first time I've done that to a bike, gotta say it was a fun demolition! I've got a 2nd bike I'll strip down and then use both to start chopping, bending and welding. I think this project is going to take a while though as I'm a bit time defficient during this part of the year. Hafta learn how to do a nice weld on thin tubing so I'm expecting some practice time adding up too.

So Aussies, what are your recommendations for a 50cc engine? I had a look at the x-box site and was also impressed by rock solids HP engine - more $ but they do all the porting mods, better carby, higher-tensile bolts etc. Their standard 50cc is the same price as the x-box but they do the better bolts and spark plug & a coupla other things for that price, not bad. Anyone used their engine? They're in Adelaide. Any advice on engines available here in oz would be great as I'm a complete noob with 2-strokes!

Dave. ]]> Introduce Yourself arty dave http://motorbicycling.com/f14/hi-dave-canberra-australia-13056.html Hi! http://motorbicycling.com/f14/hi-13050.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:07:29 GMT Hi everybody!
My name is Mamadou CAMARA.
I'm new in the world of motorized bicycles.I just purchased an 80cc engine from bikeberry motors.I did mount the kit. But every time i pull the clutch(disengage the engine) the motor dies As long i throttle
up and the engine is engaged.It runs fine.
I need some ideas on how to fix that .

Thank You!!!:-|| ]]> Introduce Yourself mamadou camara http://motorbicycling.com/f14/hi-13050.html Introduction http://motorbicycling.com/f14/introduction-13045.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:22:28 GMT Hi everyone,

I'm writing from Argentina. My bike is a Beach Cruiser with a 48cc chinese kit. I really congratulate you for the variety and quality of the material posted.

Yet another motorized bicycle builder from Wisconsin. I'm not new to motorized bicycles, buy a few already and currently working on one now but I have endless ideas for different bikes. Crank out the grinder and fire up the welder!

I'll post pics of some of my builds after the mandatory 3 postings.

My older brother got all the neat toys and I was given 78 rpm records. He got a basket of Whizzer parts which he managed to cobble together and mount on his knee-action Schwinn minus the heavy duty rear spokes recommended. I got piano and trumpet lessons. He was a dare devil, riding his whizzer at full throttle with no brakes; I was a reliable citizen and reasonably good student. But that Whizzer thrilled me to think of sitting on the saddle and not having to pedal, enjoying the breeze and the unique sound emanating from the Whizzer tailpipe.

Now I'm toying with the idea of building a motorized bike, wondering if two stroke or four makes more sense to start with, thinking about using one of the cheap mountain bikes gathering dust in the garage. I'm about to dig into the posts that may yield helpful shortcuts and how to avoid pitfalls. Should be fun. ]]> Introduce Yourself Acrylicartist http://motorbicycling.com/f14/getting-my-toes-wet-13033.html hi from wisconsin http://motorbicycling.com/f14/hi-wisconsin-13030.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:56:28 GMT Hello every one, i just built up my first "80"cc bike today. thanks to looking around this site for about a month before i bought and installed my kit i saved alot of time and hassle. i learned alot of new tricks here and new ways to do tricks that i allready knew about. well, i had a blast putting her together and was shocked when she fired up first try. any one in the shawano or surrounding areas in wisconsin hit me up, i would love to have some one to putter around with.
