My build. Frankenstein.

[Fatandre]

I am just waiting for the black spokes and then it will be put together. I will keep you posted

 

[truckd]

What gauge spokes? 12 or 11 ? a heavy duty spoke is best for a motorized bike considering all the weight of the bike in it's entirety , road, riding conditions and vibration that the wheels will absorb.

 

[Fatandre]

I dont know. I bought 36 spokes per wheel.

 

[truckd]

Here is a nice looking brown just to throw out there for ideas

 

[Theon]

With a 9 HP motor, I'd be going for a heavier spoke.

 

[Fatandre]

I was wondering if I should go for a 4 stroke.
What do you think?
Can they perform well? I want to cruise comfortably lets say 50-60 mph

Here is one pic. More to come

 

[Theon]

If you got the money to do it right.

But I'd be going for a bigger one than the 49cc.
Then It might be sitting pretty high in that frame, and be heavy.
I have no experience with the pred' motors in bikes, but there's some nice builds on here.

 

[Fatandre]

ok, so it would be better to stick with the 2 stroke.
I am just having troubles picking the right one

 

[truckd]

I'd go with the 4-stroker a little more $ now but yer bike is big and you'll be glad later .

 

[curtisfox]

Yep i agree, and a lot less tempermental then 2 stroke........Curt

 

[Fatandre]

But which one to pick and how is yours performing?
How much does your bike weight truckd?

 

[truckd]

I'd go with a Hue sheng 49cc kit since you seem to know yer way around welding and mechanical you could modify just anything to fit yer needs/desires and the motor is very Torque'y , I have never weighed any of my bikes as a whole but over all they don't weigh excessively much and the weight of the engine should be mentioned in the kit specs + weight of the bike.

 

[Theon]

Getting 50 to 60 MPH cruise from a 49cc 4 stroke?

Getting 50 to 60 MPH cruise from a 49cc 4 stroke?

Easy enough to do with a couple of rockets strapped to his 49cc engine. LOL

 

[Fatandre]

Some new pics with the new wheels. Must say it looks the bomb.
Still deciding on the engine. This is just way to hard. Over all I am mega happy with the whole outcome of the ride.

 

[truckd]

Very Nice!!

The Brown Tires & Seat look cool and add to Pizzazz the bike has a good flare keep it up and Frankie 's going to be a real looker

 

[Fatandre]

pizzazz and flare? What does that mean?

I think its going to be a real looker and rider. Just need an engine worthy of this build

 

[truckd]

Pizzazz is like dressing up in a Fancy Tuxedo for a big event and the flare comes with the accessories and attitude in of appearance.

[Fatandre]

you telling me a 4 stroker is the thing I should be rolling on?

 

[truckd]

YES! big bike, your going to need that power.
