I just asked you this question on your last videos comments. Thanks!
@@garylee7774 he probly legitimately read it hahaha raja
I would like to collaborate with you personally one day and talk together and test some of the cheaper but still okay motors to show your following how different each engine actually is
You (and many others) Have been heard! :) Hope it helps, good luck man.
I do try, but man I'm getting allot of comments lately. You guys are killing it! :D
I still remember when these kits wer 85 bucks on eBay five years ago lol
I just saw a couple for 20$ and 30$🤣
@@colesmile3028 lol buy that $20 engine kit and it will explode 5 minutes after riding it hahaha
@@umamifan lol
I got one in February 2020, 2 months before covid, on Amazon for 90$. Made my specialized hard rock go about 32. Pretty solid, I'm 230 lbs.
inflation amirite
Followed your advice. Went with the zeda 80. Strapped it to a cranbrook. Took my first ride tonight. It is pretty fun.
Great to hear!
@@LAHover thanks for the advice. I used a bike berry hub adapter on this build. Made it pretty easy.
Now I want to do a 100cc
@Joe Shmoe hey man do the video.
@Joe Shmoe Interesting. The yd100 engine I ordered just showed up yesterday and my cylinder is perfectly fine. I'm about half way done putting it on my bike and I hope to break it in this afternoon.
You keep suprising us with your invaluable, information about, motorized bikes & mechanical tips from your mecanical skills, thanks, mr hover, say hello for you & your dad, on his age, & still ride bikes, say hello, from panama, joe.
Thanks, will do!
I did 1300 miles on my bike from fallon nevada to green river wyoming and then back down through northern utah. I wore my back tire at about 900 miles and we took the kit out of the box installed them and then tested the bikes around the block once and headed out to highway 50 and on the road. It was a blast. My friends motor lost power between vernal and duchesne utah at about 1000 miles of everyday use pulling a bike trailer with gear the entire way. They stopped pulling up hill between 6 and 7 percent grade on the road grade of steepness.
Useful information well organized with visuals. New to motorized bike building and will definitely begin with many of the options offered.
With all the price inflation right now, the wildcat pk80 is my current best pick for value. Good performance and reliability on mine.

I followed your advice. I got the Firestorm Zeda 80 kit and installed it on a Huffy Nel Lusso. This is my first ever motorized bicycle build. I only ran into a few minor problems but they were pretty simple fixes. The only issue I'm having with it is that with the stock NT carburetor that comes in the kit, it's a little bit hard to start when it's cold or after the motor cools down for a while and at wide open throttle at higher rpms, the fuel mixture leans out a bit at times. But when the motor is at operating temperature, it runs really well. These issues can be solved by swapping the carburetor out for a higher performance carburetor. Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it.
got a bt100 recently, it goes real good and has really high torque. you pop the clutch and the front wheels up. power is really good for a motorized. one downside is it has 4 mounting bolts on each side and one has snapped. the intakes and stuff are just different shape but still fit any regular carb. the exhaust tho is unique. i honestly recommend the bt over any other kit. i’ve had a really good experience so far.
where did you buy it
@@xdsalamie6728Amazon
i love mine it’s indestructible
A BT100 will outlive the bike in a lot of cases, I had one on a cheapo knockoff mountain bike and the torque and vibration started to crack the frame welds on it 😂
Very informative and easy to understand everything the man says, this is good narrator and I can see this channel growing
Great job keeping me intrigued throughout the entire video. Even though I have had an engine for over a year now, I still wanted to see the recommendations of another builder with a lot of experience. Keep up the great videos and stay safe!
What motor is it? Was it reliable?
Thanks for the video. I just bought a yd100. Can't wait to take it out for a rip!
Fantastic channel, thanks a lot for the effort you put into making these videos!
Thank you :)
Great info brother I have the zeda firestorm on one of my bikes and i love it,i am gonna purchase the yd100 soon but wasn't sure about its quality glad you made this video now I know what path I need to take thanks again have a great holiday👍
Glad I could help
I'm thinking about a 2-stroke and getting the biggest CC I can get to fit on a beach cruiser. Do they have bigger than 100cc for a bicycle?
@@zedee2000 yes they do California motorbikes they have a 5 horsepower the guy ports and polishes cylinders ahead ball bearings on a crankshaft inner and outer side of it and you also get a wreath carburetor kit with like a 60cc carburetor it's got balls Idaho open mine up all the way 65 miles an hour to fast on a beach cruiser mine I'll go over that I go 60 and that's it. 65 is to pass out of beach cruiser they're all made in China China Parts don't last I wouldn't go over 60 California motorbikes California motorbikes you have to wait to two and a half months for the motor cuz he eats orders shaft he orders blocks yours very and you getting into boxes you have to put it together it hauls ass she gets big ass carburetor you get to read out the funnel tunnel everything
@@johnmorgan7619 what kit and cc thanks.
@@zedee2000 any quality 100cc engine with mostly custom racing upgrades on a aluminum bike will definitely get you to 60mph
Thanks for the what to look for section. As someone who lives in Australia none of these specialised websites are available, only amazon and ebay. Even then, none of the specific engines are available, so it was really helpful knowing what to look for.
Many thanks for the video, I knew that it would be very useful and informative when one of your first points was about the cheapness of the nuts and bolts on some of the kids and how is indicative of the general value of the kit itself. Have you considered recommendations on the actual bike frame to pick when you're considering motorizing a regular bicycle? As you know there are many factors to consider, including the size of the individual, the particulars of the alloy that the frame is made from ( an alloy with a higher amount of aluminium is more likely to bend or break, especially on the axle Forks) and how the style of bike frame affects the performance of the motor and the speed of the finished motorbike. Also any advice whatsoever recommending front and rear lights for a motorbike would be very useful. It's a problem to run the power for them from the motor, and outside battery is always too heavy, and the generators for regular bicycle like our way 2 delicate to be used at any higher speeds or greater bumps. Batteries that are held inside of a attached bicycle light will bounce out, and the brackets regular bicycle lights always break or end up sending your light flying off into traffic. Yet on a motorized bike in traffic visibility is a priority so sorry these problems is a big deal! Thanks again and keep it up
Great information I'm looking to get a motor for my mountain bike thanks for the upload
I chose a Grubee gt5a, motorized bicycle canada, alot of good parts, allen key`s not phillips, nice clutch lever, upgraded carb, easy install and so far so good
My family & i, we are building 4 motorized bikes, we are glad to see your instructive, videos & experience, on trail, also, building these bikes, we are learning about them, thanks, say hello, joe.
Run them all 32:1 4 ounce of oil per gallon of gas and tune the carburetor and oil wise for cheap but good oil get a gallon of Walmart 2 stroke oil or get a gallon of Lucas semi synthetic
And they will last
Went with the motoose for my first attempt at the hobby, I've had four scooters stolen in the last several years, against your advice and it's been a great kit, no leaks anywhere, came with old style petcock, rode daily for nearly 4 months now, had ment to put an engine on the bike when I bought it 10 years ago, you're video encouraged me to make the purchase and glad I did, a seven minute ride to work, and confident enough to ride back home to have lunch with the wife daily! Thank you good sir!
That's awesome dude! 😎
Is it still running ?
Was running fine when I pulled it two weeks ago, noticed excessive end play in the crank so I split the case to balance the crank and shim and replace main bearing currently I'm running an eBay LD80 that I've balanced faced all mating surfaces and upgraded the mains, the motoose is going back in when I've done the same, the one piece is very convenient for me because it's daily treansportation
This helps greatly! I'm overwhelmed.
I bought a pk80 kit, a very nice little engine. I had to adjust the clutch nut because it was too tight for the clutch to disengage but that was my only "problem" other than the fuel line leaking because of user error.
it also seems boggy but I believe that's because it's not fully broken in yet, and I'm running 16:1.
Rag joints are perfectly adequate with a stock or near stock kit. The biggest upside to the clamp on adapters is there's more adjustability side to side.
Me and my "West Virginia Motorized Bicycles of The Eastern Panhandle" posse 'LOVE YOUR MOTORIZED BICYCLE INTELLECT' so Please keep it Going buddy!!..
Can you spare a cylinder that's not a reed intake?
Thanks for being the light at the end of the tunnel for me buddy Much is appreciated
Any time
Great video. Great info. I might just need a softer seat for my bicycle in order to ride it more, but with the Lamborghini name on the side of frame, maybe a little 2-cycle noise is what it needs. BikeBerry BBR stock kit won out with the discount and free shipping. Will soon see if it works on this hybrid bike. Keep up the great videos!
my first kit was that seeutek amazon one and I beat the crap out of it and it was great. But now I just buy an ebay engine only and turn it into a frankenstein engine like zeda used to make with a stihl ms660 cylinder and piston, I would highly recommend building your own frankenstein engine, shitloads of power and you can do it in about 1-2 days assuming you have the tools and know-how.
I like how you referenced between beginner and somebody that has done this before I’m not an expert but I have dealt with these types of engines mostly two-stroke since I was about 16 years old and you are right somebody that’s just a beginner probably is gonna want something less maintenance I will also agree that a lot of the hardware in these kits does hold up pretty good but I will suggest trying to find something a little bit better quality just saying basic kit upgrade it yourself I recently put together a pretty decent bike it gets me where I need to go and my bike will run pretty fast just having a stock engine with a 42 tooth sprocket I believe not 100% sure But I also run a little bit bigger than 49 cc I would really like to here what you think about a 80/100 cc stock .
The very first seeutek I purchased came with 6mm, the other 5 after that for building friends bikes were 8mm, never had any issues with any of those bikes.
I bought the 66/80 from Bikeberry. It was on sale last year for $170.00. I've ordered some additional parts from them since and have not , knock on wood, had any real problems with them. As I learn more though I am comfortable looking on other sights now if I need to.
I got a YD-100 as my first motorized bike engine, it has been a joy! i got it one year ago and the only thing i had to change was the piston bearing, i make ifood (kind like uber eats delivery) here in Brazil with it, like 8 hours a day and it`s just awesome, it got the toque, reliable (except for the bearing) and it got a decent fuel economy too!
Amazon is my go to source for my motorized bicycle parts, because if things do not work I can always exchange, plus I can get reviews on certain parts. My jug is a one piece design, and I have no problems with it at all, I put an expansion chamber on it with a magneto upgrade kit and it, without any mods at all.
Seeutek makes some surprisingly good kits. I'm glad to see he talked about them
When I build for friends I exclusively use seeutek.
I want to go, category 1 one, keep us update, with, category 1, thanks. Keep sharing.
I'm running ZEDA kits. Some engines that have the 6 1/4in, round "dots" molded into the cylinder fins that can be seen on the outsides of the cylinder. This is known as the "D" cylinder. These engines are simply ported a bit better.
The easier that a 2 stroke engine can "Breath" the better it will run.
Adding a tuned pipe and a bigger carb are a good starting point.
I’ve bought the anbull motors at 14:40 and I can honestly say they are a good motor so far the only issues I’ve had is the sprocket I bought aftermarket hub clamp style DO NOT BUY broke four of my spokes and snapped two of the three sprocket mounts slips and chews up your hub pretty good went to the rag joint instead so much better it’s all about learning as we go.
love the vid 👍🏽 subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Got my 66/80cc 2 stroke kit off ebay even upgraded from 44 to 36tooth rear haven't had any problems runs great an I'll get the one off ebay as well might try the 4 stroke kit next build or electric maybe
When you see those ted flags like Phillip's or JIS bolts on the outside, 6mm studs, etc.. you can bet that same substandard quality continues into the inside of your engine as well. Imo, the reverse is also true however to an extent.
Looks like I made the right decision going with BikeBerry 60/80CC kit with all the added upgrades in all black.🤠🇺🇸
Thank you for this video. Very informative for newbs. Although I already got my motor a while ago and didn't know anything about it at the time, (and still didnt until i saw this)it's nice to know my motor has all the best bits and for the best price too.
Can you do a review on the Zeda 80 Performance Bicycle Engine Kit With Dio Reed Valve & OKO Carb?
I ordered the f zero bike with dual brakes and the stage 4. Can't wait to ride
Let me know how it is I’m really considering that same kit
Thanks for the video & letting us know you weren't gonna cover 4 strokes & electrics.
would you recommend a 4 stroke or the electric start 2 stroke with the centrifugal clutch. Seems a lot easier to operate for a begginer.
wow someone who actually know what they're talking about, great video! could you do a video about how to make these as quiet as possible?
Thanks, I'll see what I can do.
@@LAHover thanks, I'm figuring out if I should get a ebike or gas bike and I'd go for the gas bike as long as I can get it quiet enough
Very informative thanks ....I'm looking for a motor only for my delta trike and found the Wingsmoto 49cc suitable for my frame . I was wondering if you had any comments about this motor . Thanks again for your time and effort .
Some one may have asked so sorry if this is a repeat question. How do I know how yompick the proper tooth number for the gear under the options? Thanks, great video!
Good advice, now what are the high end kits.
More importantly on motorizing a bike it’s crucial to do it to the right frame many bikes aren’t built strong enough to handle the tourque and stress the engines put on the welds and frames
I agree. Even though I tend to use cheap bikes, the stronger the frame, the safer the ride.
@@LAHover whats a good brand or frame to use for a motor kit?
Really cool resource! Do you have any recommendations for an engine and/or bike for a folding bike? Is it even possible to motorized a folding bike? I would love to so I could store it in my smaller apartment easily and take it up to the mountains. Thanks!
So you recommend firestorm Zeta 80? In looking for a better build. Done two already
Im looking to spend 250 my limit what would you suggest straight out of box with good pats n perfomance
New sub thank you great content.
I love the information you give on your channel! I am thinking of possibly converting a Huffy 26 speed mountain bike. I might need to pull a fairly heavy trailer with it. I am considering the Wildcat PK 80 or the Zeda 80. Could you tell me what your recommendation would be between those, or if you have another recommendation? This would be my first build and I do need something budget friendly.
Hey, i already bought a really cheap 50cc from Walmart, but this is still a great video because I think I can anticipate replacing that engine in a year or so, and this video is really helpful in letting me know how to properly shop for these in the future.
Still working good. And how long did it take to arrive? Tia
I ordered the mega 66cc/80cc from bikeberry and they sent me a bbr tuning one so I was stoked
Great Video well done
I enjoyed the video. I'm looking for a kit to put on a trike I'm building. 20 inch lowrider trike project. What kit would you recommend
i love your videos so much... you deserve more views and more subs KEEP IT UP
Thank you so much!
I went with the Flying Horse epa certified engine from BikeBerry .....its been good.
The 4 stroke flying horse?
Keep doing what your doing. Thank you for sticking with it.
Very good job!
I bought the firestorm 80 kit. Worked great but all of these are gonna need a little tweaking and handy work. Not for the faint of wrenching or forum lurking
Totally agree
Very informative video. I am thinking of doing my first build and I am glad I found this video as there are soo many options to choose from. One question though. Is there a reason you recommend the Zeda 80 over the BBR tuning? If price is a non issue, would you say the BBR is the one to get?
The Firestorm has proven it's self for me personally to be a solid motor with good stock performance. I have not tested the BBR Kit, so I just can't say for sure. It might very well be just as good or better.
@@LAHover understood. Thanks for your insights.
HI LA and the group. What are some of your recommendations on apps for your ride.
I never use the rag joint bolts that the kits come with. I use black Allen bolts, and lock nuts. Easier to tighten on the Fly because every bicycle multi-tool has a set of Allen wrenches on it
Betting this vidio gets a lot of views! A much needed vidio!

Also be sure to explore ebike options as well. It's nice being able to rip around in near silence, it doesn't catch anyone's attention, so even less chances of people complaining to the police and deal with a meeting.
Just have to deal with lack of range it's way more $ to start and the noise is that of a dying rabbit.
@@spookysockmonkey4605 I believe only cheap kits have any bad noises. The only noises my ebike makes is tire noise.
Noice now I can put the kit together with my friend
I never new these kits existed until 3 days ago. Having never seen a bike here in the UK with a motor on it. I came across them on Amazon when looking for parts for my moped... Not sure if legal here, but sure fancy building one.
I spent the extra money and got the 4 stroke, as I planned on riding it to work every day, which I do.
Over 100 mpg, fun to ride. Of course, people look at me a little funny when it’s 25 degrees out lol
4 stroke makes sense for longevity, plus the exhaust will be easier to deal with, 2 strokes rely on pulses to draw intake gasses. I want to build a 'stealth' bike that runs very quietly, so 4 stroke is the sensible option, plus you give good MPG figures, might have to get one.
I bought that first eBay kit. Unbelievably amazing. 8mm studs, great performance, and the g series head. Only issue is that the head nuts are stuck to the studs. Although new studs are cheap, and runs fine..
Thanks for letting us know :)
@@LAHover thanks for responding!
@@LAHover update: just needed to tighten the studs with 2 nuts. Great motor 👌
@@Farmtractor it's great when you can do simple fixes to solve the problem, hope you continue to have that luck with your motor man
@@MrJasenstewart97 It’s been a great motor. Still running great. Studs came off the nuts no problem. I do have to buy a new carb for it though. Still running good :)
Ive had 3 bbr stage 4 All of them were slightly different . One of them had really good crankshaft balance & is stupid fast
The other two weren’t very balanced & vibrated
Enough to want to change out crankshafts ....So I think it’s like playing the lottery.
Gracias por la ultima recomendacion del yd100 ando lento por que estoy en proceso de acentado pero se calento demas.
Just to be fair the Anbull 80cc bike motor kit is a good buy though there are better.. (i got it thru amazon with the 4 year warrenty for 20 dollars which for the first time builder I highly suggest.) The hardware was decent but the motor case bolts were cheap but the motor ports are clean and clear. I have got 40 mph as per my weight 175lbs. Thanks for the video. good job.
Thanks for the feed back. Many builders say they like their Anbulls, I may give one a shot :)
@@LAHover Now dont get me wrong, They are decent for a cheaper build kit ... but like I said there are better.
The Anbull I got had debris inside the cylinder from what looks like them cleaning up the spark plug threads and should be thoroughly be gone over BEFORE running the unit. Since the gaskets haven't been baked on yet, You can safely take it apart with out compromising the integrity of the gaskets... though extreme care should be taken when doing so as you can tear a gasket if they are stuck to the case.
I unfortunately didn't open the case to check for debris inside where the piston and crank were. ( knowing what I know now I wish I had. Though it seems to be ok for now.
I would spend the extra 20 - 40 dollars to have one that has been tuned or given the once over by the distributor like BBR or any reputable seller. ect.
But I highly value your opinion and agree with 99.99 % of what you have stated here.
Please continue your efforts to help the motor bike community as you do way more help than harm.
I have liked and subscribed to your channel.
Ride on Right on brother!
Kindly question what is the recommended engine type that work without paddle like normal motorcycle or like a vespa engine just switch on and move no paddle at all and swipe with normal steel pipe
Good vid,and great tips."G-series"is the cylinder style I tried to describe once.When i'd run through 4-5 tanks if fuel I let mine just rev as far as it wanted,and was afraid after it hit 26mph with a 56 tooth drive.It was still winding up at about 7000rpm or so vs 23mph with other cylinder.The flow of air,and torque were both increased.
Response to the BT80
Although the intake is not a traditional as all China doll motors they cast the intake and open it right up, it's an oval port design angling downward the measurements of the port actually is 42mm.
The exhaust port is alot bigger as weel, but still accepts your standard off the shelf ebay and amazon clone pipes.
Been running the BT'S for a year now and with no issues except a few broken studs ( 6mm) , now upgraded to 8 mm
Compared to my Grubee 66 40/40/40 it's got more torque from low right through to the top.
The BT100 is even more a torque monster, I can wheelie with a crack of the throttle 😊😁😂
Is it still running? 🤔
@@Jarrod_D yes,
@@SandmanOG thank you for the reply 👍
Currently the motor just turned 4232km on it and still running strong,, I do not flog the hell out my motors, I run 36:1 synthetic oil with premium gas no methanol, never hold full throttle for long, and just simple ride it.
Usual issues, carb leaks, plug goes for crap( carry a spare), chain breaks, clutch adjustments
Just starting to look at this my criterion are...
1. Not made in China
2. Used on adult trike
3. Works in wet weather.
4. Pull or electric start.
5. Less than 50cc.
6. Not too loud hopefully.
In your opinion what is the best engine for a 20 in. Schwinn bike? A remake of the 1960's model. The engine not costing above $500.00. Great, informative video!! Thank's!
I had a 49cc flying horse and it just blew up on me, note it ran for 5 miles with the cylinder cracked gouged and the rings in 4 pieces but as long as you remove the muffler they do have good power they are just loud, but mine lasted me 3 years of water in the gas and running it full throttle all of the time and it started up every time, also if you have one put more oil in it then 24 to 1 it just seems to run better, anyway it was definitely a great engine while it lasted
Thanks for the info and your time...it helps to know if you dont
What is your thought on the zeda 80 with a dip reed and oko carb
Great video, looking to build a moto-bicycle, prob go w/the zeda 80, have you ever tried the belt drive model? Wonder how the belt drive model would differ
Belt Drive testing czcams.com/video/JLJkCZahS0k/video.html
Belt Drive update czcams.com/video/-RNV1gDSnXs/video.html
Hello, How long would you think a Zeda 80 would last with proper maintenance and very mild use?
Hi,
Do you know a motor kit that offers crankset traction instead of a rear wheel traction?
Ive got the motor that the head and cylinder sleeve are one piece, yes a pain to mess with but it just keeps running. Got around 100 miles with no issue
Good to here :) ... My Motoos (with it's one piece jug) is also doing well.
16:10 is the option selection just for the engine color, one being black, and the other silver?
What would be a good pick as far as a 2-stroke thats 50cc or under? Thats the biggest allowed in my state :(. Also would it be worth it to bump up to a 4-stroke at that point? Cause with a lot of the roads around here moving somewhere between 20-25mph wouldnt be ideal.
I bought a kit for 100 dollars on aliexpress and it is working fine so far
Good to hear :) Yes many of the cheap kits will do just fine of course. I hope it stay solid for years, ride on!
How long is so far?
How's it holding up a couple months in? I'm wondering because I'm cheap and will probably go the same route
@@tedtalour6414 bought one 6 months ago and daily ride it, break it in right and it'll probably last longer than the bike
Mine blew up two weeks . i think piston was in backwards. It broke a ring gouged cyl bad
Awesome video
Thanks!
Are these motors/kits good on trikes? I have a Miami Sun single speed trike. I'm recovering from back surgery and have really bad knees. I was looking at electric for pedal assist; but they are so expensive! These are much cheaper. Are 2 stroke motors ok for pedal assist?
Any guide on a schwin occ chopper engine kits?
looking into getting a kit but also taking the pedals and pedaled powertrain completely as I'd mostly use it out of town, besides the obvious draw back of having to run start it could you think of any draw backs of this kind of design? (great vid btw)
I do not understand what you are asking. Please fix.
Ive had my 50cc ebay kit that was 115 dollars for over 5 years now and for a 50 its a powerhouse i had no idea they had so many motor options now but ive basically built my engine ive ported my intake and exhaust so big i cant use an exhaust pipe at all since ive stripped the bolts for the muffler in the head twice and had to retap but that always fails since it puts too much pressure on the pipe at the flange but what im getting to is ive replaced just about every part in the kit other than the motor and gas tank and my 50 would always keep up to my buddies cheap 80s mine was ported already and i bought a smaller sproket but i still have yet to reach my power ban so im still making changes but i knew when i heard you say people have a bad experience with 50s i had to speak up because mines a trooper like i said ive been riding it for about 5 years ive seen atleast 3 of my buddies blow em up granted they probably never mixed gas right which is something to watch out for
I also use no headgasket and have no issues since the 50s have a flat piston
I'm between the Zeda 80 and the Silver Slant, currently $189 and $149 respectively on the bicycle-engines site. The specs look nearly identical. What would make the Zeda worth $40 more?
What about those Power Boost Bottle For 80cc 2-Cycle do they work? Do they add power and speed and do they hurt your motor?
What kind of carb would you recommend for the Zelda 80
Very useful review. Thanks
my seeutek came with a g series cylinder, does that mean it also has the longer stroke?
Nice info! I am looking into get started with bike motor kits. How can a piston be upside down? Do you have any video showing something about this?
No upside down, backwards.
This can cause the ring ends to snag on the exhaust port.
One big thing I can tell you is look at any maintenance video on these bikes on youtube! Most older guys dont hand start the threads and they also crank the hell on an electric impact on that shitty low graded steel/ low graded aluminum. They need to be teaching the younger guys proper steps putting it together instead of doing it as fast as possible! Torq wrench, no new person needs to be slamming screws down with an i.pact! I'm trying to get a used one running for a friend right now it's a cheap kit and almost every problem u mentioned in the video hardware wise this has! From previous owners operator errors! Thanks for the video!
