- Building a motorized bicycle using an 80cc engine kit from ebay and a Huffy Nel Lusso cuiser bike purchased from Walmart.
I spent $110 on the eBay engine kit & $119 on the Huffy.
The eBay seller for this kit was "smartmotor"...here is a link to his items for sale ebay.us/Gc44xN
If you prefer shopping on Amazon, here are similar bike kits.

I bought my extra brake on amazon...they have a 73-91mm reach, but they were too short to fit properly. Here is an affiliate link to the one I bought on Amazon:

Alright! A how to video without crappy music! Just lovely!
@@Steve_Does_Stuff Your video is very cool . The Nel Lusso is a great choice for the Bike. A youtuber named Motored Life used the Nel Lusso for his build. I think the bike looks sweet for the price at Walmart.
@@Steve_Does_Stuff I have a nel lusso with a 4 stroke. Another motorize biker told me he has seen 50+ rear rack frame breaking. Did you have this problem? How fast can you safely go on this bike? How do you like the bike so far?
@@spirittoo so a 4 stroke does fit on the nel lusso?
Thanks for wasting all my time on putting the sprocket on backwards your a really good youtuber hahaha Jk I hope you learn how to edit out things in the future and hope you haven’t messed up people’s evenings like you have mine.

I've watched this vid several times. Its a favorite because of your honesty. No frills. Just a down home DIY VIDEO. I've watched the sequels. Those darn chain tensioner. And chain guards. That gas tank mod is a great idea. One of the best I've seen.
Originally, I had cut off the rear rack of my Nel Lusso bike to add a friction-drive Lock N' Load unit to the rear. I have since picked up a couple of 80cc 2-stroke engines and am in the process of watching such videos as this one to get some ideas as to how to set it up in the bike. I put caps on each part of the rack to cover the nubs left on the frame. I removed the fenders and am in the process of building the bike in this manner, now. A tip is to use several quick ties around the center to keep an equal distance when putting that hub sprocket into place. It spaces the area out quite evenly and you simply pull the plastic ties out when finished. I did end up putting a better kick stand onto my bike though. It raises the front of the bike up and telescopes, but it is not meant to have someone sit on the bike when it is in use. Only to hold it up well. I had to laugh as I wondered if you were indeed putting the sprocket on backwards. It was hard to see at first when you were filming it. When I got my packages of engines, I thought right away that it may be a mistake problem that is easy to do if you are not careful. :-) I am not fully through in watching your video just yet, as I keep running out to look at my own bike and check things as I do my build. This is my first build although I have ridden motorcycles most of my lifetime (71 years at present). Thanks for posting this video.
I enjoyed the video very much Steve. Thank you for producing it and sharing it on You Tube.
Was going to build an electric bike... // Electric = $1330 // Gas = $200 // Fuck the environment
James Williams same haha
unfortunately gas still costs money, but i do honestly preffer gas, more range easy to refill as opposed to ebike where you get 40km of range and then have to spend and house recharging it XD
Get a 4 stroke if you don't want to constantly rebuild this thing.
+runninggames771... true that
Just built one for my son and it is awsome thankyou for your vidios
I love your channel
I build these day in day out(Roswell N.M.)...Good build!!Going to build some for sale soon........
New to this having car issues cant afford monthly payments let alone major repairs. Bought same bike and practically identical motor kit I'm in luck! Thank u.🙂
How's it working? Still running?
5:08: THANK YOU! I've been having this problem for some time now.
Great instruction and proper tone for a tutorial.. please create on how to put batteries and headlight for the motorized bike.
nice work on the Install Steve FYI i read on some Forum that the Importers of some of theose kits were getting harassed by Attorneys because many bikes people were putting them on had the Factory Welds coming apart because they were not designed to handle the stress the engines added to the bike i’ve noticed that now many of the Websites that do sell them have more details outlined on the bike styles they reccomend installing. the kits on like yours most of them do reccomend a Cruiser style Frame that are usually larger Tubings which theoretically would mean more surface Weld area not necessarily a stronger or better Weld but i guess that can change amount the Manufacturers the Forum i read mentioned the head Tube breaking off and when I was a kid in the 1970s riding Wheelies and doing Jumps i broke that Weld on 3 different bikes i will testify it’s a Gnarly one to have give out when you are riding as you lose your front wheel and Handle Bars that send you head first into the Ground and back then we did not wear Helmets on Bikes and Staples for Skulls we’re not invented yet so the Hospital trip was a painful and long one
I've been putting the same engine on my 20 inch Stingray frame I updated the exhaust, spark, carburetor and air filter and a extra spring tensonor the one that bolts on the engine, its been a pain in the ass to build. I'm almost done and since the frame is smaller I had to do some custom fixes to make it work. I just hope it was all worth it.
This is the video that got me hooked! Great job!!
I love my huffy nelusso! It’s a tank. It rides well and hauls up to 80$ of groceries.
@@Steve_Does_Stuff The furnace was removed from the house next door, and I latched on to the plenum, cut it down, supported the bottom with plywood, made a lid, and added small wheels, axle, and tongue - hey, presto! a trailer that can haul lots of groceries, or a tool box and car parts. I used a car outer tie rod end to connect to the hitch on the bike. Swivels side to side, pivots for up and down hill angles - generally satisfactory - and being a recycled (nudge, wink, get it? re CYCLED?) part, very affordable.
In today's economy that's two cartons of eggs.
Hey Steve;
Nice job w/the video, very informative. I plan to build my first one.
Thanks again...😎
Did you build one yet?
Compressed air shot into the end of a hand grip will pop them right off
He, Dennis, great idea! Thanks!
That the best video ive seen yet on this.. I just bought that same bike, and wondered if anyone added an engine to it! Thanks for making this!
Good gob.Thanks for your films.
Thank you steve! That was rad
Please tell me the size of the chain on the engine side.
I’m about to get one of these in the mail. Very helpful
Waiting also.....building a boardtrack racer.....checkout our channel Lukas garage
@@lukasgarage956 wow you have a very good taste in hobbies 🤣 I love rc planes and motorized bikes and motorcycles aswell good luck on the board track racer
Beautiful build !
The foam is a good idea. I wonder if tire tube rubber pads, single, or doubled up or more, would not only keep the scratching down but offer some vibration dampening. Could be substantual, and two birds with one stone.
You picked out the very same model bike as I did. You should see some of the long lean large tired bicycles that are being produced today.
Great demo thank you, might even consider spot welding that tensioner.
to keep chain tensioner where it don't twist or anything, drill a hole in the through the tensioner & 1 side of frame with self tapping screw to hold it in place.
3 RULES before installing.
#1: disassemble and inspect engine.
#2: grinde/sand flashing off ports.
#3: reassemble using oil,gresse and LOCK TIGHT on your nuts and bolts 🔩
if you don't follow this RULES....GOOD LUCK 😳👍
for greasing, use one with graphite, for oiling external components, Nanolub csx is an excellent substance, lasts long and is perfect for very high stress and friction contacts
Mr. Motormaster... yes great additional tips. Ty
Who cares these engines are 80 bucks with free shipping
@@ELSMITH3378 This is a Motorized Bike you'll never have. The Bike is $129 at Walmart then a Engine from Bike Berry is $149 .. Don't worry Eltorease Smith .. you'll never be able to afford one. or have the intellect to build one. Steve makes and uploads these videos for people who are interested in getting into the Hobby.
Great video, I’m going to build one too!
i have a Zeda 80 - 100 cc motor. i installed it and now trying to start it the back wheel drags with the clutch out. its like it has too much back pressure. i am a greenhorn with these motors. any ideas on whats going on?
How’s the nel lusso holding together a lot of ppl say the the welds crack so just wondering how’s it holding up? I have one and I’m wondering if I should put a motor on it
THANK YOU!!! This is what im talking about! A detail edsummary of EACH AND EVERY piece, and what they do!
Not just someone saying, "Okay imma install in exhaust and i'll see you in a bit!"
And completely ignore the process of Assembling the damn exhaust! lmao
Like, ppl need to make tutorials as if they are Teaching 10 year olds. Not a seasoned mechanic.
I hate it cuz its like, if ur gonna waste ur time doing a tutorial, might as well do it friggin right.
So again, i thank you!
Master link needs to be turned around round end into the gear not away from it or ur chain WILL hit and bunch up inside the compartment or snap off easier
Excellent build
Trufuel...premixed.. ethanol free!! $19.99 per gallon!!..good for long term storage!! Most hardware or auto parts store had it...it's worth it!!.
Looks a far more pro job that what i did to a Raleigh Grifter in the 80's. 160cc lawnmower 2 stroke rubbing the rear wheel, could clear 70km/h. Petrol tank on the handle bars, lucky i'm still alive i guess!
I have a 80cc not sure which name brand but my question is what sparkplug would you recommend and what should the gap be?
Great video and neat project. I have a question if you get a minute to take a measurement for me. I am wondering what the hight of the motor is. Could you get a measurement from the lower V in the frame to the top of the engine head or spark plug? I am trying to find out if this engine would fit in the space available on my bike. If you get a chance to get that measurement for me I would greatly appreciate it. Again neat project and great video. Thanks for sharing.
Just a heads up those bikes like the nel lusso with the rack welded to them are extremely prone to cracking.. Not a bike you normally want to build..
Heyy man i can’t get mine to work I bought it brand new and I followed all the steps but I notice when I put the spark plug in the engine doesn’t want to run and then when I take the spark plug out the engine runs perfectly but when the spark plug isn’t in the engine all the air come out from where the spark plug goes instead do you know why is it doing this ?
Have you had any problems with the chain rasping against the frame I had that problem with the tire sprocket groove facing out?? Lmk on any info plz
So i took my chain pulley tensioner apart (i got bike used) to clean it now i made a dumb mistake and i didn't take a pic or look at really before it all came apart. There is the bolt a lock washer and normal washer and a spacer + the bearing inside the wheel i put the bolt into bearing than spacer than washer than used locked washer with nut to hold it on... my chain is making noise now i had to do something wrong and or something needs fixed.. i also know my coaster break is about shot so that might be the noise i hear idk!?? I have some knowledge but not much never worked on theses before have about a 2 years of working on 4 stroke scooters
Future reference with that bike. 27mm straight wall socket with a 3/8" ratchet is perfect to center that annoying sprocket. Just slide the back end over the axle and it should center it 99%
Lol have the same set up an motor never failed me yet God bless
Update?
Hi Steve. Almost at the 300 mile mark on my bike. Have just today lost the SECOND push button and spring for clutch lever. Dont know how they are popping off? I even added an extra lock washer but it went through that as well. Any suggestions?
Can anyone tell me how to shut the bike off? I bought an abull 100cc. It runs but it seems the throttle handle is an electric Start when the engine is a clutch start. The problem I'm having is when I stop. And clutch or pull back the handle rhe engine won't shut off. And I have to use the carburetor adjustment screw to choke the engine. Ugh. Any advice is appreciated.
Love this video!!!
Hey again total newbie here I’m just wondering if the standard cruiser cruiser break system is enough or if I should up grade to disc breaks or something
I have the same bike, but my engine kit didn't come with the u-bolt substitute, can you tell me what size u-bolt to get
For some reason when I insert the spark plug the wheel doesn’t wanna spin and it sort of locks but when I take the spark plug out the wheel moves normally why is that ?
Hi did the wheel run ok with the dust cap tightened
Can you please send me info on how I can order the parts of the motorized bicycle parts.Please give me the complete information . Thank you. Harry
What hand brake did you add to the rear wheel?
it will hold the clutch from engaging in the motor if you have the cable adjusted to the right position where it keeps the lever engaged on the motor if you don't have it adjusted right Michael take off
This is my 6th year/Summer working on , building, and riding Motorized Bikes. I add a Tuned Pipe, Hi Compression Head, Main Carb Jet is also changed. They come with a #70 jet, I'm running a #67 jet for a bit better Hi End.
These small 2 cycle engines, HAVE TO BE WARMED UP !
Were did you buy Or kit for your bike I am thinking about getting one ken you tell me we’re got it
Hi, when putting my chain onto the sprocket in the engine it is not fitting. Seems like the links are too close together or the teeth of the sproket are too large. Anyone having this problem and know how to fix?
I bought one. Best video yet..IS A RACING CARBURETOR BETTER.?
The shaft is hydrological pressed into the break lever. So I have too go get a new shaft with all separated pieces.
Have a question- my son thinks he needs front disc brakes on a bike for this- is there correct? Hard to find a frame that fits.
Tread lock is your friend also need to torque the back gear so it dosent slip
I have that same kit and couldn't get the front motor Mount on and now i see how to do it . THANKS😊😊😊👍
What size frame do I need for the motor to fit?
Been waiting for week now for mines... Cant wait to go for a ride .. Great video sir.....
Can I add an engine to a mountain bike with disc brakes?
Great video bro. Have you had any problems with that back sprocket? Do you actually ride this heavily? I want to get one of these kits but all the retro fit back sprocket seem really cheap and crappy.
How did you get the brake arm screws off?
I have that bike great I'm getting this kit!
I have a Kent beach cruiser, where can I go and get a motor install on it
Is the coaster brake reliable at higher speeds?
use tool drawer liner instead of the foam, acts as a motor mount for vibrations as well
Strips of old inner tubes work great to restrict vibrations too.
While we're being economical and reusing inner tube rubber, if there happens to be a used radiator hose or heater hose from a car kicking around, they are thicker and provide extra cushioning. I haven't tried the rubber mount cushions made for the job.
Can you recommend a specific kit for this bike
Did your rear wheel come loose have the same bike and my rear wheel came lose bent a spoke. They put the rear bearing backwards and bearing almost broke threaded the races screw loose
Will a 4 stroke fit on this bike I have the same bike?
not worried about burning up the coaster brake? ive melted a few as a kid. then my dad added a grease fitting on hub. that one smoked n then melted. i dont trust em n def woundnt use them with the added speed. after owning scooters n motorcycles i learned the importance of front brakes. i really like the welded in rear rack but i went with a kent bayside 7 speed front n rear brakes n blue tires formy build. im going with a 4 stroke with centrifugal clutch n pull start🍻
Will this engine will fit on 19.5 cycle frame
Did you add on brakes or did that come with the bike?
This is THE MOST helpful video ive watched yet! Thank you so much. I have been having a lot of troubles with my chain and actually broke it. Turns out i had the sprocket the wrong way.. And i cant seem to get spark from my spark plug. Cant figure that one out. Any idead??
Thanks for the help. I probably need to upgrade my spark plug to the american version instead of the off brand craptastic one my kit came with
Great video!
You should drill and place a set screw on the outside of your chain tensioner to keep it from falling into your spokes.
Right now i use regular gas for my 2 stroke engine what will happen if i use premium gas?
Anyone want to explain to me how to know if there is a cap on my spark plug?
Do the coaster brakes work okay in stopping the bike safely? I just recently purchased a cruiser bike with coaster brakes and am going to motorize it soon and was just wondering if it wears out at all
@@Steve_Does_Stuff Thank you for taking the time to reply! I will definitely note this!
$;18
your kit comes with bolts so you dont have to stack blots on top of each other. you remove the studs and blot that plate directly to the bike.
Can you put this on a 20inch bmx bike
Where did you buy the speedometer?
does the bike has to be a single speed?
how long it works properly.
Awesome video! To point out, they're bolts, not screws! Lol. Thanks for the video!
Actually, they are called "cap screws"... as opposed to "stove bolts"
Hi Steve. I just wanted to give a Big THANX to you and your video that i was able to put my bike motor together without even looking at the shitty instruction manual. Very good job at making a video that's easily understood. You should find out about making a Dvd that distributers could put in their kits. For a small fee. Thanx again! 👍👍👍 P. S. How are your tires doing? Especially the rear. Are you having to replace them often? I have 300 miles on mine which were brand new and rear tire is wearing out faster than front. I've got 40psi in them to create less drag. Think too much air?
I’m going to buy this kit along with other supplies to build a mini car
@chubzua alright I’m going to need to find a 212cc engine for the price less than 150 quid
It seems that you have experience with this
type of bike. I need your help. When I stop
the bike, I want it to keep running, but that
does not happen. As soon as I stop, the
engine stops working.
is it safe to have fenders?
good info, bro...
Very Nice... So you can use a coaster brake rear wheel and don't need to change it to a freewheel correct.
No problems using a coaster brake bicycle with one of these engine kits ?
@@Steve_Does_Stuff Good deal, appreciate the info... I'll check-out the video, Be Safe !!!
What causes the rear tire not to move
was the cranbrook discontinued?
BRAVO!
my brother bought a motorized bike the problem he has is he doesnt know how to slow it down could you help thank you
My bike is a Panama Jack bicycle and a 2-stroke engine and and some engine mods to make my engine the bit faster you're busy was a big help for me I thank you do you have any advice for me to make my bike little bit better I'm trying to figure out how to stall a light system on my bike and I hope you can help me out or anybody thank you again 😇😘💋😊😘💋
How fast does it go?
Good stuff
