Hi everybody!

I'm very happy to join you and to see all of your vehicules!

First, I'm sorry if my english is not perfect, it's not my mother tongue, but I think you'll understand me!

So, what about me, I'm french, I'm currently a student in information technology, and I'm crazy!!

I built with some friends 3 motorized bikes with chainsaw engines.
I built the CicloTRON first, it was realy simple, with a friction drive directly on the clutch. And because at this time I didn't know how to weld, I build it in wood.
The engine is a Sachs-Dolmar 112, 52cc, ~3HP.

Then with my fiends, we founded it so wonderfull that we decided to build a second vehicle, the Black JACC (JACC is the contraction of the first letters of or first names: Julien, Alexandre, Clément, Clément)The engine comes from a McCulloch Pro Mac 10-10, 54cc, ~3.5HP (this is the only chainsaw I know that is auto disasembling itself)
We had a lot of touble with this vehicle... (brakes, starter, starter-rope, exhaust, carburator, and the screws comes from the USA, so it isn't the same screw thread as here in europe)

Then I learn (by my-self) how to weld and we made the Troncotinette, a kind of go-ped!
This is a crazy project!! We started from scratch and we build everything, the frame, the brakes, the clutch...
The cluch is very simple: The roller is directly on the engine shaft, ant the chainsaw is on an armature that put it on the tyre or a little above it. It is commanded by a pedal near the front wheel.
The brake is very similar to the clasical go-ped brakes: it is a piece of old plane tyre, witch can be put on the tyre with a pedal, at the rear of the central board.
The engine is a no-name chainsaw, 33cc, ~1HP and it goes very fast!

And we recently rebuild the CicloTRON to make the CicloTRON reloaded. We used the same chainsaw but we added a reduction before the roller.

I will put the photos as soon as I will be allowed to do so.

It goes around 55Km/h (35MPH)

On the CicloTRON and the BlackJACC, you have to pedal to go to this speed, but not on the CicloTRON Reloaded. The Troncotinette is a little bit slower, we dont know for the moment.

Welcome to the largest, most informative, INTERNATIONAL motorized bicycling website in the universe! I'm sure you'll make a great addition here.

Thank you guy's!

If someone wants to build one, it is pretty simple and only take 1/2 days of work. And it is very rekiable, very easy to fix, but not very powerfull..

here are the plans: (notes are in french, but if someone want them in english, just ask me.)

At the begining, neither do I, but after a while, I had no real solution to transmit the power to the wheel, so I put my bike on the handlebar and the seat, then I put my chainsaw above the wheel, and it became logic!

I also wanted to do It quickly, because I was working in the field, and I was bored of going back home by bike after 7 hours of work!

Now that was the incentive I was looking for to try one of those home built type DIY bikes!!!! I have a couple of saws here, and a full wood working shop.

Nice!

If you do it, send me some photos!

I send you some of our projects (me and my firends, the CicloTRON TEAM)

The ChoppyTRON (a little chopper bike, with a lawnmower engine on it, the friction is on the side of the tyre)


The chips mobile (A 3 wheel project, with full suspention, and a friction drive on the 2 rear wheels)


the ChopperTRON, with 2 McCulloch chainsaws (can I say Americam muscles) and a moped rear wheel, transmition, and front!


and probably the next one we will build: The ORNItorink with a moped frame, and this crazy chainsaw (72cc)
