This is my first build of many - i started with a stripped down limousine beach cruiser which i won in an uphill ride. the challenge was to be able to ride the bike uphill without stopping. to my amazement she climbed with no problem, since i was the only one to take the challenge i won it... i actually fell in love with the bike on that ride. i have been riding and customizing it ever since...
the ideal of adding an engine to a bicycle has always intreaged me to one day build a project like this. well needless to say the limo beach cruiser was the perfect bicycle for the job...
ive just recently got the cruiser which i call blade I, running after 6 months of fabricating and i got to say it was definetly worth the wait...
i added the graphics which i designed and had a sign shop make for me - fabricated a few parts needed to put the engine kit from zoombicycles together. a few custom parts for the dress up and it all came together nicely...
i'll be riding her everywhere with a smile on my face... Thank You Zoom Bicycles...

Time to start getting the build documented.  Just a few pics of the frame mods so far. Have to get more DL'd from the camera soon.

First, the stock factory bike, a used walmart roadmaster cheapy

The top tube was too low for the engine to mount with the carb installed, so the next two are during and immediately after the frame chop and channel.

Pain in the butt part came next, dressing down the welds and removing all the tacky decals  so it could be prepped for paint. Next pics will be of assembly, now that I'm about done taking the engine apart and pulling dimensions for future modifications.

O.K.! I'm gonna try it! I am going to attempt to put a motor on a mountain bike that has a Ktrak system on it. I'm thinking a shift kit with a disk brake in the rear. Gonna start this thing mid Feb 2010. Any suggestions on what bike to use for this? I have already ordered the Ktrak system and should be shipped Jan. 1st.

I built this from your 49cc kit and a Husky cruiser. The build was fairly easy and runs great. My next build will be an 80cc with raceing carb and No2 Kit. For those of you who think this is to small of an eng. I weigh 300lb, I help peddal up to 7 to 10 mph then cruse at 15mph (I haven't got it brok in yet). It's Quiet and SMOOOTH. No apolagys I had to get my dog Emma in there!

Hey guys first blog here. Been building motorized bikes for a little over a year now and just recently got into making custom machines. My first attempt at this the projet is called frankenstein and is a chopped out 70's Banna seat bike. When finished It will be Black and Green with the body being black and the neck and forks and engine in Green with FRANKENSTEIN writen in green across a custom fab. black tank. The bike is basically done just need to fix the forks up and finis the tank and then it is off to get painted. I also have welded bolts to the neck for the whole look.  For a first attempt I like it alot, the bike is about 7ft long and hung ape hanger handle bars.


Let me know what you think.
Thanks Motor Boy

While I was waiting for a 5 pack order of Jet Black Engines to arrive,I jumped on my '92 Huff USA Good Vibe beach bomb

for a ride. I rode into my little town and decided to do some,what we call "yard salelin". It was a Saturday and everyone puts their junk for sale in their yards. So while toolin' around I decided to look for bikes,bike frames or parts. I came across a 12 speed 26" '90 Huffy Dr. Pepper excellent shape but not worth much. I snapped it up for $ 45 US. Had my wife pick it up after work.

 So now what? I was digging around on my shop shelves and found a 2 yr. old 80cc Mega Motor engine still in the box. I knocked the dust off and slapped that thing on the Dr.Pepp.

She's an all around good ride  with a 44T sprock  but to make her a true hump crawler I've ordered a 52T and special design slippable clutch yee-hah break-a-leg...Cheech

I am outting a 49cc jet black engine on my 26 inch mountain bike but the motor doesnt fit in the frame so a am hacksawing the top bar of the frame(the one you hit your nuts off when your feet slip off the petals)and moving it up 5 inches then am welding it under the seat and to under the handle bars so i have a lot of room to mount my engine and also have plenty of room for my carb. i also have street tires and nobbies for off roading since the bike has shocks.

I decided to go for the Rat-ride look for my first build using a 80cc JetBlack kit. I used a 80's stlye aluminum Huffy 26' mountain bike - and left the slightly peeling decals as they were. Of course, i have a comfort gel seat with a gel cover over that. U like?
