azbill's EZM powered Jaguar

[azbill]

after a lot of anticipation, my bike is on the road
same Jag, new power-train (and, I DO mean train)
this deal pulls my 2 grandaughters like they are not even there!!!
after 3+ yrs of feeling the vibrations from a 2moke, I can even hear my cell phone ring !!!
yup...strong like bull, smooth as a baby's bum

Bill, I Like It. Looks Like A Dependable Ride. BILL, MY YOUNGEST IS 34 YRS OLD. A BOY AND THEN 3 GIRLS. NICE TO SEE YOU ENJOYING THEIR COMPANY. THEY GROW UP SO FAST!! Ron

Bill I too have a trailer and had thought that maybe when I get my MB built I might hook it up and take the little kids to the park but one thing that concerned me was that since the little ones sit so low in the trailer they might be right in the line of fire in terms of the engine's exhaust. Have you had any issues or concerns in that respect?

 

[azbill]

I have well over 7000 miles of pulling them and trailer with the 2 stroke...
I bent that pipe straight down to disipate any fumes (just like the smiley, hiker472 made)
they never once, in all that time, complained about smelling anything
(being 2 little girls, if they had, they would've let me know !!!)

now that I am cleaner, smoother, 4cycle powered, I have no worries in that regard at all
they get more fumes from passing traffic, than they could ever get from me

That is a real nice bike and looks to be comfortable for the long haul. I can't wait to get one of those EZM kits installed and towing a trailer.

very nice build Azz, I can see some of the difference's on this build vs a 2 stroker. is it alot more quiet than a 2 stroke engine is ? My biggest concern is the noise those things make and I will never go electric due to there range and power.

you pulling the kids around with a MB , does it attract the local law's attention ? Personally I think it is a very fun and creative way to spend some time with the kids , but I just wonder if someone might consider it unsafe blah blah blah ya know.

 

[lennyharp]

Life is unsafe, we all die. I did without a car for years and we towed our kids and got them on their own bikes as soon as possible.

 

[azbill]

the 4 cycle is much quieter (I can even hear my cell phone ring !!! )

I take my oldest granddaughter to school 5 days/wk and the parents I meet all have good/positive things to say about 'grampa's taxi'

after pulling them around town for 3+ yrs, we are well known, and the 'cagers' seem to treat us like we belong on the road with them

I will say that, when pulling the trailer, Bill goes into the 'ultimate safety-granny driver' mode

I have even befriended a member of town council who uses a scooter to get around, due to a stroke, and he thinks it's 'the coolest thing' to take the girls around the way I do

 

[NEAT TIMES]

Yes Bill, The Girls Will Remember Those Rides Forever! Later Ron

now that is awesome bill. nice job. only thing i dislike about the islands is my grandkids are not here however i am going to get a trailer for the bike for when they visit.

 

[iRide Customs]

Nice bike for sure!! Love the front hub.

 

[raneyd]

Looks like a lot of fun, nice job. I would be interested in where you found the seatpost.

Enjoy your rides and especially the grandkids.

another question Bill, judging by the size of that battery, does your bike have electric start also ?

was this engine a build kit ? or did you just get the engine and use the parts from your old 2 stroke to make this work ? I like your motor mount platform also.

Im really feeling the need for a 4 stroke mainly due to noise more than anything else

 

[azbill]

thanks for all the compliments
the seatpost came from spookytooth
the battery is for lighting and horn only
it is an 'EZ Motorbike' kit (I am an authorized dealer)

Bill, great looking jag. Are those disk brakes on the back?

 

[Beetle Juice]

Mr Bill I like the 4 stroke motor on your bike where did you get it from and did you build the motor mounts yourself

 

[lennyharp]

Bill sells the kit - an EZMotorbike kit EZ MOTORBIKE COMPANY
They are great powerful setups that are quiet.

 

[azbill]

Dan,
sorry, no disc brakes...I mounted the sprocket inside the rotor
will post some better pics when I find where I stored them

 

[azbill]

updated pics

here are some new pics, I have done a few new things, mostly aesthetic, but some important as well

1st pic ... rotor mounted chrome 50tooth
2nd pic ... right rear shot, showing cut out of sprocket and new armadillo croossroads tire
3rd & 4th pic ... my seatpost was made for bmx and, while strong, was too high for me...cut and bent then re-welded the support and now I can sit and still be flat footed (I am 6'1" !!!)
5th pic ... bent and painted crank (I tried using little 5" cranks, but it was very hard to pedal the trailer)

will add more pics to another post
