MikeyBikey Tecumeseh Engine Mount

[BigBlue]

I have a Mikey Bikey engine mount for a Tecumseh 3.5hp engine - it might work for a Briggs and Stratton. Mikey Bikey made and sold custom motorized bikes that were belt driven. They no longer sell bikes or parts. However, the do sell old motorized bikes and scooters.

This part weighs 8 pounds and is CNC machined aluminum with a steel mounting plate. Originally, this mount sold for over $200 and was on sale for $169 before they closed shop. Here's an archived link to their engine mount product page: http://web.archive.org/web/20040328074958/http://mikeybike.com/

If your a fabricator, this could be a product for a 79cc or 99cc Predator by changing the engine plate. A jackshaft could be fabricated to mount onto the rear mount.

I am asking $150 plus shipping to your address. PM me for a shipping price and I'll check with the USPS. I prefer PayPal for payment.

O.K., I am going to bump up this post. I am hoping someone would want to be a small fabricator with a low investment would be willing to purchase this item as a prototype for a Predator 79cc engine. This mount can be made with simple power tools and with dimensioned 6061 aluminum flat bar and plate from Ebay or your local metal supplier. I estimated that it could be fabricated for around $40 in material costs.

This mount can be manufactured with an drill press, an adjustable plunge router and a portable bandsaw or chopsaw. A simple jig can be fabricated to either secure the router or the materials. I don't have the time or the inclination to build and sell a mount of this quality.

Here's a couple YouTube videos showing how the route slots for the mount and the use of a router table to round off the edges:

It looks really heavy duty... a little excessive actually.

I interested, but its out of my price range at the moment, but ill keep my eye on it.

This mount system is new to me, but like you said its not very hard to manufacture... after taking a shop class, a lot of stuff looks a lot simpler to make now lol... wish i still had access to lathes and mills =/

Have you personally used it?

 

[BigBlue]

Never used it. I bought it almost 10 years ago for a project, but life changed in different directions, so I never mounted it. If it doesn't sell, I'll list on Ebay or finish the project. I have a couple 3hp Briggs and Strattons that I could use. Might mount it on that Monark or I have a 1980s Orange Crush Schwinn Cruiser that I could mount it on.

Thanks for the interest,

Those silver rollers on the near side in the pic. Is that a built in chain tensioner? Id love to get this but cant afford just now. SOOO Legitamit question bump ! ^^^^

 

[BigBlue]

Silver rollers are for the belt. As you can see in the original post, Mikey Bikey built belt driven bikes.

Perfect... Just Perfect... This always happens. I spend all my cash buying parts for a build that could have waited and something like this comes along. I LOVE belt drive and this thing is just cool. I hope somebody with a decent machine shop buys this and produces a few.
