I have tried to find a suitable v-twin 4-stroke for a motor bike build.Who makes a true v-twin that would be workable.Just wondering what small displacement motors are out there.Will worry about getting the power to the ground later.lol
v-twin 4-stroke for bike build?
- Thread starter BGRooster1
- Start date
B&S make a 'V' twin series referred to as 'Vanguard'...they are a little heavy for your standard bicycle though.
Yea.Maybe I'm just a dreamer.I always liked the sound of 2 cylinders over one.The basic v-twin engine ,say similar to an HD 45 to say 65 degree ,could be small and light.
Like you say the vanguard,but that is a heavy duty engine and displacement is way more than enough.Of course if you go to small in displacement.It maybe a maintenance nightmare.Talk about little pistons,wheww

"some assembly required"
This ought to get the wheels spinning...at least in your head:

This is what inspired my own version of the cyclone, but I wasn't brave enough to put that big an engine in a bicycle

Barely, that is an awesome website. It makes me wish that I had a lathe and milling machine... and knew how to use them.
Wow .You guys have got me dreaming big time.I wonder what it would cost to have the Howell engine built.I think I need to win the lottery or sell my Vortex bedliner machine.
I did find a company in China that makes a 49cc v-twin 4 stroke for mini motorcycles.If all else fails .Will have to go that route.

Look closely and read all of the small print on this Chinese motor. I think what you have found is really just a 49cc single with a Faux additional cylinder that seems to be used on Mini Chopper bikes?

Yea.I know about the fake ones also.I won,t bite till I know for sure it is a v-twin.Fake v-twins are sinful.
