New 4 stroke bicycle, The FTS 50

JRRacing64 · Nov 21, 2011

My uncle wanted me to post this up today. He just recently finished his latest motorized bicycle project. What he calls the FTS 50. It a much improved design over the original I posted here a few months ago. Check out the pictures and the quick preview video and see it for yourself.

Thats just beautiful, I like that bike. The drive with the belt I bet makes a smooth ride. Just curious ballpark figure how much invested?

Very well done! If he could produce these in mass I bet he would not have much of a problem selling it as a DIY kit.

Thank you for the comments! Steve's been blown away by the response the bike's been getting.

He's said that he estimated that if he didn't machine some of the more custom parts himself it would have been at least $20,000. Ball parking his investment is still about $10,000 at least.

Yea, I have a hard time believing there is $10,000 worth of parts on that. But its a cool build nonetheless.

Most of that would be from the labor involved.
