holy crap when I was 16, 45 now my step dad bought me one cause he couldn't afford a car but still wanted to surprise me with a ride.. but I haven't rode since I was t boned a few years ago taking my bike out.. honestly my gf had my bike restored and made automatic since I did lose my left foot but I just can't mentally get on it yet witch is why I love your channel.gives me some hope to eventually get back out and enjoy what I use to love lol.
I broke my left foot in 7 places in a 50cc scooter accident and it required three major surgeries the first was to pin the bones back together with external metal heavy guage wire going through my foot in a bunch of places and to wait two weeks for the swelling to go down before screwing them back in place with 7 screws 3 long bastards through my bones sideways and four shorter ones to hold down a titanium plate on top of my foot, luckily since there isnt a lot of room inside a foot the hardware was left in for alittle over a year and then removed in the third surgery where they had to chisel everything out since it had been left in alitle too long so bone had started growing around the hardware. All in all i still have a left foot which i am extremely gratefull for after reading your story, not without some permanent damage and alot of pain to remind me, i have yet to get back on a scooter or a motorcycle but i still wish to i just cant sit on the sidelines watchimg these guys have so much fun on their mini bikes. I hope you get back on two wheels someday brother cheers.

Wow, I'm glad my engine swap on my bike went much smoother. You can repin the factory harness to work with the china wiring easy enough. My 50cc china engine had a big carb and a huge intake runner stock so it was quick to begin with for a 50cc. I went with a 110cc and it made the bike a beast and then a viewer of mine sent me a 125cc. The 4th gear really helps and I'll be dropping in an even bigger carb and a higher flow muffler. 17 tooth front sprocket with put me in the high 40mph range easily. Congrats to Lonnie! Love the ZB!!!!
Little Man's Hot Lap was super dope! Glad you included that! We just got our first two Razor MX's in the house and our & year old is already tearing it up on the little one. Can't wait to do all the motor pickle things together with my boys!
Congratulations Lonnie and all I can say as far as advice is, Assuming your Wife also rides, always make sure her bikes are as nice or arguably nicer than yours! In this fashion, you will find yourself much more free to continue hoarding dozens of bikes at any given time. Also- foot rubs. Wives love em!
The bikes awesome, the engine swap is awesome, your awesome, the Mrs is awesome, Lonnies awesome, young snaggle toothe Red Beard is awesome...everything is awesome. Much love, peace out and God bless!
Roku channel. That's sweet. I stream RUclips onto my Roku. Watch you on the big screen already. But your own channel is sweet. Congrats on the channel progress. Trying to not be jealous lol
Swap out a Daytona 190 into that bike and you have crazy power and acceleration. I know this because I have a zongshen 190cc 5-speed with oil cooler (which is a must for an engine that size to keep cool) in a ct70 copy. With the right gearing I'm doing 75+ on any given day
Congrats Lonnie. :-) Cool little bike. If Lonnie thinks it's fun now, wait for the 125. I can't wait to see Lonnie's face when he takes it for a test ride. :-)
Apparently I really REALLY don't know poopy about these except they existed! I'm over here hollerin' they were a two stroke but these were a 3 speed Basically a Z50 for the streets then? The 125 is gonna be perrrrfect on there!
Hey i just recently bought a manco dingo with a honda gx270 10hp in it and it barly moves off the line but has a decent top speed what can i do on a budget
Red beard help!! I recently purchased a monster Moto mega max and it’s about a week old and being young within 3 days I bypassed the governor by essentially running a piece of wire directly to the throttle on the carb and removing the 2 springs and the throttle rod off the side under the gas tank. I left the lever that connects to the governor. It has functioned amazingly well till today where after my ride out on my trail it started to run at a very slow Rpm randomly. It runs normally at the top end but struggles below 1/3 throttle. Currently it refused to start after I parked it. It will start if I pull the Throttle about 1/3 of the way in but then it revs right up to the normal rpm that position would have, sending me off at about 10mph. It’s not sage and is bugging me . All looks fine but I’m now very confused. I’m going to try removing the governor the “right” way and seeing if that helps.
Congrats on the roku show and I have a question for you about this roku thing are there going to be different builds just for it or we still going to be able to see all y'alls builds on RUclips????? Just wounding about that??? Also GREAT video as always and can't wait to see what the new top speeds going to be So Thanks again for all the hard work you put in to your videos and please keep them coming I'M OUT .......LOL
That 50cc could put out alot more power i think it needs a rebuild. My 48cc swapped ct90 does 50mph all day same top speed as my 125cc because they are geared the same and have similar top rpm, the 48 is definitely down on power(no wheelies) but it moves like stink!
Don't think that's the original seat...i remember my friends having a pleated design, and he had his new...hm, maybe Euro models had pleated and NA had smooth? Anyways, this gun'be good. We swapped the original when we were in Uni and put a BMW motor in...ugh, don't even remember what it was, something from the 90's. We got in soooo much trouble with that bike, cause nobody would believe us (for right reason, looked like someone punched a donkey with a fish in the a**) that it was stock, and it was frowned up and illegal (without papers and bs) to do it etc. Still had fun.
Fyi if u need anything aftermarket and if u want a 190cc with all fixens including oil cooler and carb for 700 shipped in black or silver color message me
Redbeard I don't understand why you buying another wiring harness you can make your own wiring harness for those Chinese Motors they're real easy to do their 6 pin wiring you don't need you could just leave the factory wiring on there and you only need three wires to make an engine run you're wasting money buying extra wiring harnesses and and controls and stuff when there was nothing wrong with what was on it to begin with.
@@RedBeardsGarage I can make a simple wiring harnes just to run it in 5 mins. Lol. Sometime I'll send you a how to build guild to making Chinese cdi boxes work. I'm not trying to make you mad just trying to help others use these motors the simple way. Like I said 5 wires all you need to hook up for motor to run. 😁
Should of rebuilt the original motor and restored the whole thing would of been worth a good chunk of cash in the future now you'll be lucky to get 500 bucks back down the road for the thing

I think you'll have issues with the top mount starter in the way of the carburetor. If you decide you want to go faster check out the Zongshen 190cc 5 speed engine. Mine tops out at 80 mph!

Happy wife happy life and congrats happy marriage
Do not get drunk before the night begins loll!!
I am building a CBR600 buggy with a fuel tank from Brad Hill, check out my channel!
Congrats, to Lonnie and his bride, on the marriage. Communication is important.

Only 3,000 built and then proceeds to hack the frame, I wanted that thing!
I had one of these years ago ! They're neat little bikes ! Cant wait to see the finished product;)
dang becca is only a year older then me. with the maturity and the way ya'll carry yourselves i thought for sure you were all late 30s
The bikes awesome, the engine swap is awesome, your awesome, the Mrs is awesome, Lonnies awesome, young snaggle toothe Red Beard is awesome...everything is awesome. Much love, peace out and God bless!
Its the OG honda grom mini bike and this is awesome.
Hold on to it!! I got one myself!! Have a ?? upgrade.
Congrats to Lonnie, good luck!
I was going to leave a hate comment for notching the frame but I the 'dad gut' got me! :)
Cool thanks for Graysons clip awesome project a cheap grom like bike
Shifting on a 50cc is so ridiculous haha. So happy they invented CVT transmissions. :D
I like this bike a lot broskie. Miss working with u. Gonna have to come over n build sumthin

The bike looks great mate
Kid singing was well worth it, had to give the vid a like after that 😂👌
U got some competition mate lil Redbeard he's a legend great build luv hondas cheers
That 39 MPH top speed run would have sent "I'd rather be playing bingo" back to the nervous hospital...
Remember Lonnie. He rules the roost, she rules the rooster. Anyway, love the videos you guy's do. Good luck.

So.....you're making a better, cooler Grom. YES
They already sell a bunch of grom clones, some are under $3000. The grom has fuel injection though.
@@16driver16 I know, I myself love the Icebear Fuerza. Honestly, on sub 300cc bikes, carbs just feel the best.
@@mopedmessiah i like the Razkull, but it needs upgrades to keep up with a grom but i almost prefer personalizing my bike.
Hey i just recently bought a manco dingo with a honda gx270 10hp in it and it barly moves off the line but has a decent top speed what can i do on a budget
Change sprockets for more torque and less top speed
I use my Zb50 as a dirt bike. It is all original but it seems pretty fast riding on trails
You should do a Honda ruckus
Nice video! How do you get the ignition cylinder out to replace? I'm not having luck trying to free that.
Grayson made this video !
Im waiting on that 2nd video or did that marriage wisdom teach him he come to your house anymore? Lol
Red beard's garage. Why would you paint the wheels any other color besides RED?
A strap-on gut that is too damn funny!
Those turn signal covers are the same as a Honda express na50 they are super cheap on eBay for oem ones
COOL MINI-BIKE...I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE OF T
HOSE... O_o
What do you plan on doing with the old engine I'd be interested for a project if your willing to get off it??
In finland i dont think we have these but we have similar looking bikes with same type of motor called Skyteam PBR
were is part 2?
Love the vids! Awesome content!

Do a fails and bails video of all the mess up, mistakes and crashes
Would you part with that 50 motor im restoring my boys 93 z50r and need one
you guys should do one of these ..Suzuki RB50 GAG (GSX-R50)
It's basically a 80's grom
Now you have a 50cc so you can make Jr.a 'tadpole'style 3 wheel for trails with y'all.
Grayson cam👍
Keep up the good work
Dorito and lucha are awesome they watch my channel and I watch theres
Sweet Honda find those will be collectable one of these days kinda made me cringe a little cutting on it 😂
Any stock old parts you don’t need?
Where did you get it I really wanna buy it please

Man that thing was awesome an atc 125 engine would have bolted right in no trimming
I'd be interested in purchasing the shift lever, stator cover, and the stock airbox if y'all would part with them. Hmu
So no one is gonna talk about the comment “omg your 30, your life’s over”😂😂
Can someone plz share with me ep2 ! I can't find it
That's a sweet one 👍
