Are you interested in learning how to build a bicycle?

If the ever-increasing price of gas is giving you a little bit of anxiety, you’re like me. It’s no big deal if you live in a large city, with a great mass transit system, but many of us live in areas where driving ourselves is the only option. Luckily, bicycle riding is one of the most economical means of transportation, and to make biking a little bit quicker, easier, and more fun the following information will teach you how to build a bicycle.

The Basics

Motorized bicycles are not electric bicycles. They are bicycles equipped with an engine, muffler, carburetor, ignition, etc, and they are run on gasoline.

Most gasoline-powered bicycles can ride up to 40 miles per hour and get around 150 miles per gallon.

Many of you may feel intimidated at the thought of converting your current bicycle into a motorized bicycle, but with the instructions on how to build a bicycle, it’s simpler than you may think. In addition, buying a motorized bicycle costs upward of $1000.00. To convert your current bicycle into a motorized bicycle is very economical. Most conversion kits can be purchased for around $200.00.

How To Build a Motorized Bicycle

For most people, purchasing a conversion kit is the easiest way to convert your bicycle into a motorized bicycle. Most kits come with everything you need (except a few tools for assembly). Once you have a kit, you can follow the simple instructions provided:

1. Remove the rear wheel of the bicycle. Install the drive ring and the motor over the spokes.
2. Connect the motor belt over the drive ring. Your goal with this step is to create a conveyor belt for the rear tire. The belt will power the bike and replace the chain.
3. Reattach the rear wheel to the bicycle.
4. To assemble the motor component, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. I recommend the 80cc 2-stroke Gas Engine Motor Set. It is s complete kit tailored to fit most bicycles with a v-frame. All you need is the tools to assemble the kit. Take a look:

5. Depending on the type of motor you’re installing, you will be attaching the motor next to the gear shaft or above the rear wheel. It is very important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions because this step affects the safety of your motorized bicycle.
6. Attach the belt to the engine’s drive shaft.
7. Make sure all nuts and bolts have been tightened and that they are secure.
8. Install the tension arm on the handlebars near the brake arms.
9. Install the kill button next to the tension arm. This is an essential safety function of a motorized bike because it can quickly kill the engine if you have an emergency.
10. If you’re installing gear shifters, follow the manufacturer’s instructions on proper installation.
