Mini Motorbike From Kid Bike With 80cc Bicycle Engine Kit

In this instructable I show you how I made a small motorbike using an old kid bike together with the available 80cc Bicycle engine kit.

Most people use this to power their regular bikes, but I used it to make a little moped/motorbike.

The total costs of my build are below 120 usd.

5 for the bike
100 for the kit
15 for small materials


The bike kit is available here:

• Old Kid Bike, make sure it's a strong one (no plastic)
• 80cc bicycle kit
• Some metal pipes to make the frame/mountings

I hope this video will help you create a motorized bike, or at least give you some inspiration for your own project. Along with the video you can follow the steps below :-)

Start with getting a strong metal bike.
I found one second hand.

Try to picture if there is enough space for an engine or if you are able to create space.

Remove the old bike parts like paddles and so.

Then we can fit the 80cc engine kit.

In my case I needed some frame customization.
The good thing tough with this engine is that you can just bold it on.
So when I had it mounted the right way I welded back the frame tubes.

Make sure you frame stays straight and strong.

Add all the parts to make the engine work.

• Electrical components
• bougie
• carburettor
• throttle handle and cable
• gas tank
• clutch handle and cable
  

One of the last steps was to add the sprocket and chain

The kit comes with an exhaust, but the position looks weird.
I did some customization to let it look like a proper moped exhaust.

The bike is now ready to go for a test ride.
Later I will add some brakes, but for now I just use the soles of my shoes haha.

Make sure to make a 2 stroke oil/petrolmix and enjoy the ride.
