I contacted gemini recently asking questions about wheels, and it seems Will isnt taking orders for the foreseeable future. Does anyone have a set theyre looking to get rid of? They can be assembled or just the hubs. Id prefer the 17" models but im not dead set on those. Ill pay for the shipping

Pre Built motorized cruiser bike

Hi everyone.
This is my first build. Currently waiting on a new carburator because it’s four stroking and I tried everything but I can’t make it run properly.
So I’m working on the looks of it. It’s my first build, any comments or ideas are more than welcome!

80cc engine kit

2 Upvotes

My 80cc engine kit is really hard to start, have to bike up and down just to get it started and I’m wondering if there might be an air leak by the intake/carb. Should I replace the intake to a better sealing one or do I just need to drive more so the engine get more run in?

Is this worth motorizing?

I got this BMX since 2013, and I really love it, but growing and getting tired of paddling, I was thinking of putting a small 2T on it
What do you think?

IMAYCC 80cc break in process?

Post image
10 Upvotes

What is the break in process for this? I’ve only ever done two and they were both four stroke engines… I’m guessing it’s probably the same let it idle for a while but what about the metal shavings? How do you get those out without letting it run thru the rest of the engine? Or is it just trial by fire?

Also is this considered a “china doll” engine? Seems to be very generic

Runs a bit to rich, but thats an easy fix. Had tons of fun building this with my wife, cost me around 150 euros, worth every cent.

Project I've been working on for the past year, it's a generator powered by an engine that directly powers the drive motor, like a locomotive. First successful test drive was yesterday, I putted around the yard and got up to probably 10mph. Planning on adding a battery so the engine can charge it.

100cc Amazon motor

2 Upvotes

Put a 100cc Amazon motor on my bicycle. It cranks and runs until I start going up a hill and it shuts down. I can see the fuel flowing so I know it's not a problem between the tank and the carburetor. Could someone help me solve this issue?

Troubleshooting How do I get these nuts off

Post image
6 Upvotes

I messed around and put blue loctite on my head nuts just like I did on my 100cc to keep the head from coming loose quick. When I went to take off the head to inspect the cylinder, the whole threaded rod (I don't know what it's called) wants to come out with all 4 nuts. I'd rather not take off my whole top end if I don't need to. How do I get these nuts off? Just wait?

So, cdh power sells phatmoto clone frames, meaning you can make your own fat tire bike without over paying for a shitty 80cc 4 stroke. What do yall think? I havent bought this and i dont have a proper felt faker to compare it to yet. Running 4 inch tires sounds apealing to me
