This individual wears these engines out & or destroys them on a regular basis.. Never complains about it, just replaces what needs replaced & gets back out there. I've lost count of how many.. 🤷♂️
Another disappointing bike repair... Why do people Lie when you're trying to help them.. 🤷♂️

Today I get back to work. I start off fixing all kinds of problems with this bike & in the end it's one big disappointment.. Why is it every time I try to help someone of the general public with one of these bikes they always lie about the condition of the bike.... 🤷♂️🤦♀️

Best Aluminum Hub Mount !!
Просмотров 4319 месяцев назад
Today I share the best aluminum rear sprocket hub mount for a rear coaster brake bicycle. This Hub Mount fits your standard sprocket that comes in your bike engine kit, no need to spend extra money on a CNC Sprocket. It also gives you that extra side to side adjustment you don't get with the rag joint.. Also, this Hub Mount fits properly & does not slip on the wheel hub & the sprocket bolts nev...

Still has slack
You have to bore out the sprocket? Can you tell me more about that?
Never mind. I watched further lol
That chain in the transmission if that's what you call it seems a little loose is that okay
How did you do the front motor mount?
What size chain
415 Chain size
What size chain
I have the same bike with a 2 stroke very cool...😎👌
I did a Cranbrook and didn’t need the adapter. The motor sat lower than yours
If you happen to have the small tube Cranbrook frame you shouldn't need an adapter. After I started using the welded front engine mount, I put them on every bike build, it just insures that the engine will never move even if the owner never checks the nuts & bolts through time, it's just a system I use that's never let me down yet.
Hello Eco-Trans, I watched your video. I also have been building motorized bikes for 10 years or so. First in Tampa, Florida and now here in Las Vegas. If you've never had this problem with the internal parts breaking before except only with this one customer not once, but heaven forbid 3 times - then there is a strong possibility that the customer is abusing the bike during the break-in process. He is probably riding it too hard or too long of time during the break-in process either/or not following the break-in procedures properly. You mentioned that you even switched companies where you bought the engines and the same customer still had engine problems. That is a very good sign that the customer is to blame. I'm sure you already know that during the break-in process the customer is not to ride the bike more than 4 or 5 miles or 20 minutes at a time and then turn off the engine and let it cool all the way back down before turning the engine back on again. So that means at least a minimum of 1-2 hours of cooling down time before turning the engine back on again. Also as I'm sure you have told the customer, the customer has to continue putting in extra oil during the break-in process. The Oil mixture during break-in process has to be 8 ounces of Oil to 1 Gallon of Gas. And also the break-in process lasts a very long time.. approximately 2 gallons worth of gas. Which is about 4 or 5 bike tank fulls of gas.
You can talk to some people until your blue in the face.. 🤬🤬Most of them just don't listen, plain & simple. The small percent of the ones that do usually don't have problems & get a ton of miles trouble free riding & the ones that don't seem to assume that you should take care of any problems they create on a daily basis or at least some of them anyway. I gave up years ago trying to teach people how to take care of their bikes & how not to ride them if they want them to last. These days I just get them started with the basics & let them figure it out for themselves. Some people only learn the hard way & that's by keep buying parts.. 🤷♂🤷♂I hope I don't sound like a complete ass of a person but if you have been building bikes as long as you say I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. 🤦♂🤦♂
Whats a good heavy duty rear wheel
I'm sorry to say I don't have a suggestion for you😪😪
great looking bike . nice job
Thanks 🙏🙏
Thanks for the video. Hopefully the Pillsbury demo can get started soon. Good opportunity for historic video.
There are no diodes in spark plugs, sure you meant to say electrode and the strap is the electrode ground strap.
Your right.. 👍 After posting the video I caught that too.. 🤦♂I knew someone would eventually call me out on that, I knew I was doomed. 😭. I'm not mad at you, actually congratulations on catching it. 👍Thanks for watching the video. 🙏
@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes Thank you, just can't believe it took five years. Pretty sure you didn't lose any sleep over an honest mistake. Shite happens, you could always pin a comment saying you meant electrode not diode. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Man I will say my bike was great till it wasn’t now it’s a freaking nightmare😭
I feel your pain.. 😭😭Over time I have built 100's of these bikes. Some of them are perfect right out of the box, starts right up, never has any problems, rides for thousands of miles, always reliable.. Then there's the others, hard starting, constant engine problems, parts just falling apart, every time your ride it you're wondering if it's going to make it or what's going to go wrong next. . It's not our fault..!! It's the quality of the kits..!! These kits are not the best quality & I don't care where you buy them from, they all come from China..!!! It's a gamble every time you build one.. Having said all that, don't give up.. 👍👍If you don't let anger overtake you & you quit, you'll eventually get it lined out & be able to enjoy riding it.. It's just the way these are.. Thanks for the comment 🙏 Ride safe.
I’m tryna do 25:1 ratio but with this Lucas oil .whats the proper mixture
Great tip! thanks!
Will a lawnmower cdi work
I don't believe so.
The only way to get any type of Quality out of these bikes if you're buying them, new is two take them apart and rebuild them. Everybody that has owned these knows they are full of trash and the bearings in them are bone dry. So you can't expect to buy one out of the box put it in a bike and expect it to run more than a couple miles before it breaks. As an engine builder myself, I would never buy one of these out of the box and put it in a bike and give it to a customer. You are only asking for trouble because it will be coming back to you in a short time in pieces. Thanks for sharing the video. This is the second time I've ever seen magneto come apart like this.. More than likely it, it was caused by lack of quality control. Which China has zero of!👍
I agree 👍👍All of these engines have little to no quality control. In my opinion they could use better materials building these engines, that would help a lot with longevity. 🚴♂🚴♂
That shaft can be straightened really easily if you take your time . But the keyway might not be able to hold a new key. Hard to tell from the video. That shaft is not trued on most new motors! They can get bent very easily. I have never seen a mag come apart like that before. That was crazy.👍
I disagree a bit with your theory about the output shaft being true, granted they aren't Ferrari quality, they usually are pretty close. If they weren't the magnet would rub on the coil. The shaft on this engine was really to bent & wasn't worth the effort.
How did you solve the issue with the coaster brake arm rubbing on the bolts for the sprocket?
I use two methods to get clearance from the bolt heads; 1 if you're using the rag joint that comes with your kit I use an acetylene torch to heat the brake arm (off of the bicycle) to bend & reshape it to have clearance. 2- I mainly use an aluminum hub adapter instead of the rag joint, it will slide left & right to give you more clearance & better chain adjustment. I prefer the second method it's just a much better set up, but if you have to reshaping the bends in the brake are does work. I hope this helps you with your issue.👍👍
This from asking a friend and the video seems to maybe be my issue with becoming the next rip off sonic without even having the throttle turned.
where did you get your hub adapter?
I get them from a seller on E-Bay. I've tried to share a link in the past & for some reason it won't share it. 😡😡 Try typing in ; Aluminum Hub mount for motorized bike that fits stock 9 hole sprocket. The seller is TKO Dirt if that helps. 🤷♂🤷♂
I feel like the regular cheaper 80s are at like the super cheaply made ones by Chinese If u ever notice the yd 100s or pk80s nd stuff like those ones are almost identical but somewhat stronger metal and just little things about some areas are better material so they don't shit the bed so easily like those ones idk ...... but still it's messed up they don't care at all about how fast u get ripped off it's not cool
They really don't care about quality control with any of these engines. All of these engines come from China no matter what size they are or who sticks their name on the side of them.
Nice work😎😎👏🏾👏🏾 how much for your bike
Great breakdown on every step. I'm about to build this exact bike this weekend. Glad I came across this video. Education with humor 😂
👍👍
Thank you so much, this helped me a lot
I'm glad it did 🙏🙏If you need any help with anything else just let me know 👍👍
Inside my slider, there’s a pin the shape of a “m”, it fell out and idk how to put it back in. Any suggestions?
Hopefully this video will help you get your slide figured out. ruclips.net/video/WDZGwogj5fk/видео.htmlsi=qhDqWRkstgiRKAxJ
You say without any upgrades.. it may have came with it but that exhaust for the bike is upgraded
It's the exhaust that came with every 4 -stroke bike kit I've ever received. If it's been upgraded from years ago it was the distributor that upgraded it. 🤷♂🤷♂
How do you make it reliable?
I'm getting together a series of a few videos to help people keep their bikes reliable & get all the time you can out of them without having to work on it all the time. It would take me pages to explain this, so I've decided to share a few videos to help shorten the explanation. If your subscribed to the channel you should get the notification when I start to publish them. I'm hoping to get them out this week 👍👍
What type of kit is he using?
At the moment I can't remember where he got this engine, but through the years he's killed them all at one time or another, from Zeda to Pk's & I think a few BRH's. If you don't take care of them none of them will last.. 🤷♂🤷♂
Nice work brother thanks for sharing it
Where can I find an aluminum hub mount? I can’t find it anywhere
I'm sorry to say for whatever reason it won't let me share the link.. All I can say at this point is the guy is on E-Bay, I type in: Aluminum Hub Mount for motorized bicycle that fits stock 9 hole sprocket. Hopefully you can find it.
@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes I appreciate you man.
Fresh. Thanks for sharing.
Is there any risk of crushing the hub? I'm a bit rough, lol. And does this remove the need for a keyway?
There is no chance of crushing the hub with one of these. Putting a keyway in one of these also doesn't work it just ruins your hub & makes things worse. No matter where you get one of these from, if it doesn't fit correctly from the start use this method & it will work properly & not give you any problems. 👍👍
the one way you can kepp your cdi spark plug wire from coming loose is by putting some heat shrink tube around where ther the wire connects to the cdi,but first wrap a piece of electrical tap around the area
That is an excellent idea.. 👍👍
Those fenders are a death trap waiting to happen
Very informative. Im currently repairing a 4stroke Hyper Bike and wanted to see exactly how to install properly and I really like the aluminum hub you use and will be recommending it to the owner. Keep up the great work and thank you for the education.
could u please post the link for that hub adapter I can't find it
I've tried everything to share the link for this Hub Adapter for some reason it's not working. 🤦♂🤦♂Go to E-Bay & type in 80cc motorized bicycle hub adapter use stock hole China /Chinese Sprocket. The seller is TKO Motto. If you can get to that seller, that's the sprocket you need, it fits properly & never slips.. It fits a coaster brake rear hub. If that for some reason doesn't get you there let me know..
@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes ok i will brother
@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes yeah im not finding it on ebay.....is there a way i can get ahold of u like email or something
To quote Jim Bronson while sitting on his XLCH at the traffic light, "well you hang in there"..
Is it 26inch wheel?
Yes it is..
Trent Bikes is a masterpiece mechanic prodigy when it comes to motorized bicycles
Will the hub adapter fit the 12g motorized bike wheel w 11:11 ith the six hole ??
I don't know the measurements of that particular wheel so I can't really tell you if it would work or not.. 🤷♂🤷♂
Unbelievable 😢
I agree, unfortunately I see this quite often.. 🤷♂🤷♂
10:48 I would not say that they are lying. I have worked as a professional bicycle mechanic for two years on all levels of bikes - from trash finds to 15k carbon show pieces. Talked with customers. People are simply that clueless. Your customer said it ran before they brought it in to you. In their head "ran" means it made an engine sound when clutch was engaged. You in your head - ran means propelling you forward with combustion. People are that clueless.
I somewhat agree with your statement, although this particular bike, I was told it was ridden to my door but when we pushed it inside the engine was completely cold so I pretty much knew this wasn't a mistake in communication. Anyway I guess I was mostly bitter because I would have taken a different approach before, I went ahead & repaired the rest of its problems.
Someone thought they could make some money by throwing parts on a bike and sell it for more. Without any additional effort. Your customer should demand their money back from whoever sold them this joke, just to teach them a lesson that this shit doesnt slide.
I agree.. I see this a lot, someone tries to slap one together & then when they go back to see them about their problem that's when most people do the ole disappearing act.. It's sad that people will do that 😥😥
This is exactly what happened to mine... I'm glad i found it... but the only thing so far that wrong with it was the wheel was wobbling a bit, and the chain slipped off
WOW!! I can't think of anything else to say...
I hate Nel Lusso frames, they crack, fracture and break way too easy if you anything going above 25mph. Thanks for sharing.
Hey great channel! Great workmanship!
Thanks 🙏🙏
Hey bro thanks for the video..I have had the bike for about a year and its like the domino affect with the problems bro let me tell ya 😢..yesterday changed the carburetor buecause the needle broke but the carb i changed it to had the gas release spring at the bottom of float bowl and it kept hitting the clutch line spilling gas so i just swapped the needle and I put some carburetor jet cleaner in the tank and I was riding fine but it seemed that whenever I went down hill it would start revving high but come down when the road balance out or if i apply the brake a little but now as soon as i crank up it goes nuts revving up high with clutch engaged or not and starts putting. So i crank-and-kill and crank-and-kill! Help a brother out Boss!! Think its an air leak?? So I just apply the brake cleaner and crank up right 👌. Thanks in advance..cuz i sure miss my baby..she sick and need help quick take care and ✌
It sounds like the ole bikes engine is on its way to retirement.. 😥😥 Usually when you have to start spraying carb. brake cleaner or starting fluid in the air cleaner to get it to fire is a sure tale sign of worn-out cylinder & rings. ( Low Compression) I'm not sure what jet cleaner you poured in the gas tank, but I've found that the only type of fuel type of cleaner that doesn't harm these engines is Seafoam. ( Just for future reference). I would try the spray method to see if I had an air leak & if nothing is found I would just plan on getting a new engine, it's just not money ahead to rebuild these things anymore.
@@EcoTransGaspoweredBikes thanks I needed exactly these words from a pro because I took it straight to the wife with the long face 😔 and said EcoTrans says I might as well get another motor and it is on the way!!! I truly, really appreciate you Sir!! Take care and ✌
