Thank you very much! Very nice footage. I had a low quality one, and had a lot of trouble with the clutch. I am very glad you upgraded it. I wish you many enjoyable rides.
Beautiful day, beautiful area, nice bike, nice ride. I have a similar engine setup on a Huffy Cranbrook. I bent the crank arms for clearance, and installed two caliper brakes, operated by one lever. I am using the rubber sandwich on the spokes to mount the drive sprocket, and find it adequate - four builds using it, no spoken brokes so far. (Got my mords wixed up, there, for fun.)
Drill a hole through the chain tensioner and into the bicycle frame. Put a self-tapping screw through the hole and into the bike frame to serve as a pin to prevent the chain adjuster from loosening and rolling into your rear wheel spokes. If that happens, the spokes will break, the wheel will lock (and possibly collapse) and you'll crash.
I got one of those kits, mine is on a Kent Ridgeland. 700c bike, or in standard size a 28 inch wheel with a 44 tooth sprocket, still climbs hills good, but with a top speed of 32 mph.
Your rite about having a tool bag , have one on my schwinn jaguar 4 stroke ,monark springer forks, hairpin 3 spring saddle hub mount 44t sprocket rear rim V brakes, front disc brake flat drag handlebars ,heavy duty 12g. Spoke wheels arch spring loaded chain tensioner, what it really needs is a belt drive transmission, still using the stock single chain one ,they vibrate a lot you have to keep them loaded with lots of grease ,and yes breakdowns are to be expected just like early motorcycles .😂
I advise pinning the hub adapter on the 2 post side in the middle and using a non bushing belt drive transmision like a 4G. That being said if the motor is mounted solid you will have much less issues than the 2 stroke kits if riding frequently. Also the clutch with bolts in the middle of the pads will sometimes come loose meaning the clutch will grab and stall the engine. I recommend loctiting the bolts or using the other clutch type. The spring loaded tensioner with a heavier spring tack welded to the frame will probably keep the chain from coming loose.
My 4 stroke had none of the problems you mentioned. It also came from Ebay 158 and the only thing I had to do was lube the dual chain in the transmission.
Hey really nice bike man. Micargi make a great product I have a Seattle with a 49cc 4 stroke on it. Anyway I wouldn't be so quick to down eBay kits , I build Alot of bikes both 2 and 4 stroke and generally the quality of stuff on eBay is pretty solid, even if you don't really know what your looking for. Bikeberry on the other hand are scammers, never had an order from them come complete on time and not break pretty quick. They also say they are an American company, but are in fact, Chinese. All their stuff comes from china- all of it. But the point of this hobby is be safe have fun build what you like from wherever you decide to get it..... Just be careful when ordering from "big boys" like bike berry -what you see is DEFINITELY NOT always what you get.
Very nice. Love the theme. Also found high temp grease helps in the coaster wheel, to keep coaster brakes from over heating and killing the bearings.
Man wherever you live it looks absolutely beautiful your so so lucky!

I mean I really like the paint scheme that you did that looks very cool. I'm about to paint one of my bikes like it.
Love the look!!!
