Hahaha I just let it grow wild! I'll do it in the next few weeks lol! I've been busy!

I never tried that! Thanks 😊! I just welded mine. The poor thing carried me from December through January because my clutch failed... it definitely needs a tune-up but it's alive lol! Other people can use your method so thanks man!

@@daviddawson574 of course! The littlest things can get you far.

Dunno... maybe 4 ft or so?

Absolutely! I'm riding mine rn because my car is in the shop, and I had to build a new rear tire YESTERDAY because the axel broke on the mag wheel... again 😅. But the bike IS saving me a fortune on Uber! I also replaced the engine after around 15000 miles. But they're cheap. It's still carting me around lol!

I've ridden this bike for 15000 miles and that has never happened before. I drive a car now but but that is simply not true! I've already addressed that point in the comments. It's a chain TENSIONER, so how could the chain jump off the sprocket under tension?

Because you're pushing the chain out, centrifugal force pushes it out more, chain looks too tight as well, probably why it hasn't come off. Speaking from 50+ years bicycle and general mechanical experience. Not saying you're an idiot, or anything of the sort, just want you to be safe.

@@alloriginal62 If that's the case, then pardon me... I only made this video to help other people and if that is what is accomplished by you sharing your expertise then our collective work is accomplished! The original pulley wheel was sliding down the bracket with tension on the chain, causing the chain to jump repeatedly. I believe that the bracket was of cheap manufacture and would buckle under pressure. So my solution was to buy a new tensioner wheel and arm, a recliner spring off of Amazon, and a pipe clamp, and to jerry rig a new tensioner at the BOTTOM of the bracket where it could not fall anymore lol! It's not perfect, and now I do know WHY the tensioner should be mounted high... but it IS an effective solution in a pinch. My bike still works even now, although I have it locked away. I bought a car lol! Thanks for your addition to this video... we ALL need to learn more. I'm about to add a few new projects to this Channel to help people. 1: Biomass Gasifier with filters and generator build (along with capacitor) for cheap energy manufacture at home. 2: DIY hydroponic Carolina Reaper setup. And 3: Farming rabbits for meat Industry I made! You can see all that on my channel in the coming 12 months!

I honestly had no intent to offend you. I built my first two stroke bike this summer, and I am now an enthusiast. Ran across your video while researching Phatmoto, as I am about to pull the trigger on a 2022 Rover,( as soon as I decide on color) and already planning a Predator 212 swap, after the 'new wears off'. Your bike looks great, love to see people getting into the hobby. Keep up the good work, and stay safe.

Yeah I would imagine... about 20mph and 15,000 miles.

I use 91 from any gas station. Seems to work fine.

I agree! But if you Weld it together you won't be able to lubricate the bearings that are inside and eventually It will be really difficult to peddle at all. I had to change the entire pedal assembly on an electric bike I had but with this one I don't think I've had to take it apart yet... you're absolutely right though the pedal on the left side CONSTANTLY comes loose. Right now I'm using locktite and lock washers 😅.

Yea was my left side to but aftet the welds it feels super solid,

I don't really know what you mean lol

Lol that wasn't the intended effect but I'm glad that you found it useful! Mine still works but I did pay around $1600.00 to make it "fail-proof" lol. Good luck man!

Absolutely! It has a diehard, well designed engine and even though I bought a spare for about $150 I STILL use the original no problems after about 15,000 miles!

I had an electric bike first! They're MUCH more difficult to work on when they break (something about magnets and electrical wiring) and much more expensive to maintain brother get this one and with minimal everyday tools PLUS a few specialty tools you can easily build and maintain this bike WITHOUT a mechanic they're easy and cheap and really reliable. If my house wasn't so far from my job I'd still only own this and I won't sell mine it's a DIEHARD vehicle that the media doesn't talk about man you'll be able to give it to your son one day lol go for it, honestly man! As far as the cops are concerned, there is a guy on RUclips that built a juiced up bike that can go 80mph and slapped a 50cc sticker on the side 🤣 they can't do anything about it! Just ride it off the sidewalk and follow state laws and put front and rear lights that's it!

Always remember you have a right to travel

you could always have best of both world im in the process of building a hybrid phatmoto. electric front hub gas power to the rear got me a 2x2 ready for the trails or if you hit e you got back up to get to the gas station.

I'm seriously considering getting a 2023 version, along with installing a Cyclone mid drive electric motor.

@@2000freefuel Do it!!!!

Hole in the threads where the cap goes. Vented there

Thanks so much! It's really awesome I have it as emergency transportation lol!

I have one to ride to work on summer days . Imma get those wheels for my bike and the kevlar tires. I have an all red phatmoto

You have to research what size clutch the 2022 model uses... make sure the bore or "inner diameter" hole fits correctly, and that the number of teeth are the same. Then it will fit. I can only tell you the size of the 2020 model (probably the same), but your best bet is to research and then match the specs.

Ok... unfortunately, two of them are dead 😔. Bubbles was attacked by some kind of bird, and so I bought a dog to protect Blossom and Buttercup. After about 2 months, he broke his chain and mauled Blossom too. So now, only Buttercup remains. She's been roosting sterile eggs and hiding for a few months. So, I'm going to build an aviary out of bird netting for them, and I'm also giving her a stud (Prince Albert) so that she can raise kids... Hopefully that helps her. I truly loved my geese 🥲. It's ok, I'm building up the farm now so that everyone is safe and happy!

@@daviddawson574 I'm so srry to hear hope it works out for u and them also I seent ur Lil rabbits

@@ActrightYT Yeah I've got quite a few now... I keep half the heard under my house for temperature control they are all doing really well and I'm looking forward to breeding them out in earnest come this fall!

The cover is on the ground there... I just took it off to demonstrate the upgrades done.

And you as well, sir!

I agree... I was replacing the Jack shaft once every 3 months or so but I will buy one more and have it welded for a spare! I agree 1000% I think that these bikes are really strong and that with the right upgrades other people can use them as a primary vehicle for work or whatever they need transportation for. I believe that riding these bikes as an economical alternative to driving a car with all the fees that it involves (like gas 🤯) is definitely viable. That's why I made these videos... to share my experiences with others and to create a comprehensive guide for younger people or anyone looking for an alternative means of transportation. Thanks man for your feedback, I think that others can really benefit from stuff like this!

Hi Beau, do you have a link for the parts you suggested? I'm about to buy one of these and would like to do a few upgrades for versatility (the gear ratio swap) and longevity.

They walk like little bears lol! They grow fast too!

Honestly, I drive a 2014 honda accord now, which is why I haven't made an update video yet. I bought a house and I'm kinda busy. That being said, I rode this bike for a year or more, well over 15,000 miles to work, with the parts that you see in this video (along with an upgraded/welded jackshaft). The featured/invented chain tensioner is still on the bike, and it still works. I'll use this bike to walk my dog. What, exactly, is inherently incorrect or "wrong" about the position of the chain tensioner wheel? If it has worked all these years, why is it broken, again?
