Felt Cruiser Build......not for cruising

How much horsepower does the felt have
Click to expand...

This particular Felt with the 212cc Predator engine has a good healthy 11HP at least. Lets just say plenty of horsepower for any bicycle and then some.

A stock Predator 212cc has a claimed 7HP. Again, more than enough for any bicycle and is pushing it's limits.

Hey there Scotto,
I did have on question about your motor mount placement.......how do you fill the oil up on an oil change?......do you use less than what the motor calls for?....how has the motor done lubing itself being tilted like it is in the frame?

Awsome fab work...I want to put a CVT on my next build!

Gotta love the halo's. I like how the axles can use different conversions to fit the bikes needs!! Bike looks good.

To fill the oil when doing an oil change, I elevate the front of the bike and dump in .6 liter of quality synthetic oil which is more than the recommended amount. The engine lubes fine at the rpm I turn and the angle the engine is mounted is not that extreme.

Well I had to resort to plan "c" for my rear sprocket set-up. Plan "a" was an alloy 56 tooth sprocket from AGK.....too big, no fit. Plan "b" was two 36 tooth sprockets sandwiched together but it didn't have enough off-set for proper chain alignment. So plan "c" and the third time is a charm as usuall.......a dished 42 tooth sprocket off a moped........perfect.

That is a vary nice bike, Thats got to be fun as **** to ride. I am building
a 99cc preditor on a schwinn frame and can't find the crank parts.
Where did you get the the crank arms and crank shaft assembly?

Thanks Bill

Thanks Big Bill.....I can't tell you how much fun it is to ride, it just flies!

The cranks and bottom bracket assembly are from bicycle-engines.com and have been modified for this build. The pedal side gearing was a 44t front to a 16t rear and is now a 36t to 20t for much lower and easier pedal gearing.

Have fun with your build (^)
