For the happy-times, mounted on thick downtube bikes (beach bikes), you can buy a u-clamp with mounting plate, ready made, for about $10-15 at a lot of mb vendors like Sick Bike Parts.

I say, save your money, do it the easy way with a modular kit like this:
bicycle engine kit, bike engine, bicycle engine, bicycle motor www.thatsdax.com


Stock: (garage sale find WM Schwinn with low top tube)
This bike with bracket and engine weighs 40lb (unlike my 75lb beach cruiser with the china-kit and heavy duty 26" wheels), and is almost as fast. Plus, I can actually pedal this one all day if I want to, motoring or not.

Motorized, with better tires, stem riser, new grips, "sport" seat, lights, and $10 toe clips & straps. ( I used short pieces of Bic ink pen tubes for Shrader-to-Presta adapters so I can use any 27x1 or 700c tube, even 26" tubes, with a valve extender or a presta-to-shrader chuck adapter. )

Let's see it! You are claiming 35mph AND 300mpg? I really doubt you are manufacturing these, either. You might be a box-seller, but don't fib!

Dean, You asked...LOL!

Well I got tired of talking about it so I did. I built my own Petrol Powered Bicycle.

I used 2 bicycles, to stretch (18") and lower (14"). I then added petrol power from my old Yamaha Y80 Belle. I now have a semi-automatic 3 speed 80cc Yamaha Belle Chopper Bicycle. I have all refinements of Motorcycle (Lights- Complete, Mirrors- Dual, Horn- Electric, 12V Battery) With addition of Helmet, no Licenses are required, because it has Full functioning Crank Gear and Pedals.

Used Honda Phantom Tank (holds excess of 15 liters fuel)

Engine is a Modified Yamaha 80cc, 2 cycle Engine. It has semi-automatic 3 speed transmission sonoclutch is needed either. So I used Disc brakes front and rear. Right hand lever also has switch for brake light (front) Left hand is Rear, has brake switch attached to Caliper arm and is adjustable. I used 6 micro 12v LED's in Tail Light. 1 in center is tail light, 5 in star pattern around it are for Brake Light.

I used 4 Large Heavy Duty freewheel's with 4 bolt patternfor attaching sprockets. Pattern matches Yamaha's so their Sprocketbolt right up as if factory made. Also used Motorcycle 420 chains (3), First attaches engine to bike @ original BB housing to transfer power to right side of bike. 2nd attaches center sprockets to new BB and crank/pedals. 3rd attaches center spockets (2stacked) to rear wheel. Shifter is hand lever located by my left thigh, and Bike has neutral light. But freewheel here on left side letsmekill engine and use pedals without having to find neutral. (neutral basicly to use when kick starting). Ffreewheel on right center is to releive axle drag and when pedaling only moving rear wheel. Freewheel at Pedals lets me use as them as foot rests, so always have feet is position to use (emergency) and Last freewheel is at rear wheel as original Bicycle.

Used 17"x 3"M/C tire, rim and spokes mated to custom Bicycle hub. Sealed bearings and axle adjusters(aligners... right and leftside) and single bolt like M/C. Loosen adjusters, undo axle nut and pull axle out to drop rearwheel... Never been easier to change a flat!! Did the same on front but used a 26"x 2.25" rim, tire and spokes from Bicycle. Custom hub and Sealed bearings. Again 1 nut axle and used Kawasaki 3tee front forks. Disc brakes!

Enjoy!!

Okay for a little bit of explainations. The muffler is 2 piece the top tube is 20"x3" and is just a sealed expansion chamber (Has oil 1/8" hole in bottom to drain oil into bottom tube) Length was arrived at using same fomulaas when tuning Velocity stacks. Exhaust is then rerouted from top with U tube into bottom chamber. 4 Ounces spun glass and end of 22"x3" tube is sealed with hole for original Yamaha sound deadener installed. I should install turn-downs to give it muscle look and hide toptube being blanked off.

Took original rear carrier and bent, cut and welded to conform around rear wheel. To hold rear of seat and protect rear lights. Made 2-up style seat from original Yamaha one and heated reformed base. Took to have it covered, cost me 150 Baht (converts to 33 baht equals 1 USD). Front of seat has U plate that slides under rear of Tank and is stablized by the single tank bolt. This lets seat spring up and downwith body weight. Center of seat has 2 Bicycle seat springs just like bicycle location, to support the center of seat and improve ride.

Under seat is rectifier, Signal relay, 12V Battery, CDI box (Ignition) and fuse bank (every circuit has its own fuse {plug-instyle}) Then hidden with original Yamaha side body plates. 2 Cycle Oiltank is attached to front forks under speedometer and behind headlight, had to be higher then Carb and auto-oilpump. Looking for a CDI driven tack now to attach to Speedometer, display also has Neutral light, Turn indicator light, High beam indicator light, Dash lumination.

Trying to attach pictures to help explain...

Also attached a picture of an all-to-common sight... 3 up and even 4 on a bike.... Also this is the speed toget first in line at every traffic light. If your lucky enough to be in a car.... it just a massive flood of bikes to the front of the line around everyone to get up front.

Yes and by changing finaldrive ratio gears... speeds like this DO happen!

Oh... and on Tank... writing....
In Tha, it says:

"Thai One On...!"

Referring to Helmets. on a motorcycle if they stop you the Bill is (Ticket) 40-50 baht, but on Motorized Bicycle because there is no tax, Licenses required for either bike or Operator. They will let everyone else go and stop you.... bill... 5000-7000 Baht!

Here in Chiang Mai, Tambon Nong Hoi, the Police love my Bike it promotes the use of Helmets. We have a Youngster who we dressed up in Blue body suit with Cape. On his chest it said Captain "Thai One On...!" He also had Blue Lone Ranger Mask on...lol! He Loved it!!

Cheers,

Costume rides are fun. I like Halloween best. Having the pedals lets you go through crowds easily, and running the motor is fun for the kids who all wish they could have one too.

That looks really neat, but I bet you would not like to pedal it anywhere. My friction drive bike has a triple road crank and a mtn bike freewheel (34t low), so I can stand to pedal it quite a ways, even if it is not that fast. My "motorcycle" looking one is abou 75lb with fuel, and has 1 gear. I can pedal it but it is much more work, even with the motor chain off the sprocket. The gear is about right for taking off fast from lights, and assisting on steepest hills. With 80cc and 3 speeds though, I doubt you use it like a bicycle. Cool build!

nice conversion. Gasline motorcycle to electric motorcycle, worth to have a try.

I got one really cheap at www.enginesonlineshop.com and even though they said it's legal, I think in my city it's not. I got a ticket from the police to register with my local dmv. When I went down, they made me buy a $50 permit for my 2 stroke bike. It's good for the lifetime of the bike. It's just a way for them to make money. Anyways it is legal to ride but you must pay the $50 permit. Which evens out since the kit cost me only $150 on the site with free shipping.
