I built one of these and sold it a while back. Go 2-smoke. The 4-stroke kits are crap in my experience. Kits are only about $300 for the really good 80cc ones that have been QC'ed My build was on a bike with shocks and fat tires and was basically a motorcycle. It was awesome! If you have a good bicycle with shock just buy the motor and build one. I regret selling mine... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have a 50+ mile bike trail 3/8 a mile from my house , no motorized vehicles , I use to get by with a E-Zip electric , the controller burned up and only way to fix it would be need everything , that bike might make a good donor bike , very heavy duty and already set up with speedo , lights , racks , etc , etc ---you got me thinking , think I might give up speed and power for less noise and smoke , the 4 stroke is really that bad ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The two stroke is that much better. When you have such a small engine it makes so much more power it is night and day. This is my limited experience though so grain of salt. Gearing is almost always more important than power on these anyway. Mine was quiet. We put a real muffler on it and it sounded like a really quiet chainsaw. Not bad at all. I love the smell of two smokes so that does not bother me but smoke and smell are going to be there no matter what. Your conversion would be simple if it lines up like a regular bike frame. I had such a good experience with the 80cc two-stroke bike kit that I couldn't recommend anything else Once off the break-in oil they don't smoke too bad either...

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted September 26, 2020 I love the smell of 2 stroke oil burning myself , I have had many 2 stroke motorcycles , dirt , trail and street , Kawasaki 500 triple was my favorite , got to love the sound of the ying , ying , ying "" Ka----Wa----Sa----Ki---------- " 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a china motor that someone in the states did some work on and resold after quality control but I can't remember the company... I've never bought from this place personally but have heard really good things - https://www.gasbike.net Sorry I'm not more help but if you can find a local place that might be a good starting point for more info.

That is going to be a fun one for sure! Don't get all excited and forget to take pictures lol I wanna see the build Edit: That looks like the exact engine that I used BTW. Tons of power We did change the gearing a bit... didn't care about top speed and wanted to do hills and wheelies lol Edited September 26, 2020 by oh400ex 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oh400ex 629 Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) I also thought that the vibration was noticeable enough for me to want something for it. I used the slip-on foam grips. (Being that you ride in mud... you are probably really familiar lol) These are good but overpriced IMO... a good example of what I'm talking about https://www.amazon.com/Grip-Puppy-Comfort-Grips-Original/dp/B00CP9ADD8 Edited September 26, 2020 by oh400ex 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBRider 1,407 Posted October 1, 2020 It had to be a wrecked project, the emblems say bronco but I think it has a shorter wheel base, there's alot of work into that..... you can polish a turd and make it shiny. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,564 Posted October 2, 2020 here's a real classic ... tucked in (short rear end axle) one ton dually, I'd like to have this truck. without it being a 4 door. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roof cut and moved forward over the hood. Looks like the hood don’t open no more. Must have a removable tunnel over the engine like a van. Would guess you would have to lift the body off to work on the engine. Looks like the door might open but you wouldn’t have much room to get in and out. I wouldn’t want it. Fits the topic.
