looks like homeboy had to be engineering major...lol. He did what many kits are built to achieve, a small "helping" motor...more power to him, atleast it's not a hummer :D

man i think going to try and get video its funny to see

sweet

When did Trek start putting leaf blowers on their handlebars? Nice.

leaf blower that a chainsaw motor its 5 1/2 horsepower this guy goes fast like scary fast

man i think going to try and get video its funny to see

Yes, we definately need a video of it running! I've seen the ones that go on a rear wheel, but this home-made job takes the cake.

that's uber pimp...not to mention how it's all wheel drive :D He pedals the back wheel and the engine moves the front one :D yay...

babyseat doubles as a whaletail

It needs a wing!

It needs a wing!

Yeah as much as a 4door geo metro with spinner hubcaps.

I saw 17" spinners on a 2002 Chrylser Town and Country Minivan two weeks ago. Repent for surely this is a sign the end is near! :eek:

If that's a two-stroke engine, it probably puts out as much pollution as a Hummer... :eek:

Wow! Front wheel drive? That thing must turn like a mutha!

he should attach a string from the rear hub to the baby's noodie so he can get that extra oomph on the hills.

ive got video

Jeff Foxworthy: If anybody in your family ever died immediately after saying, "Hey, y'all watch this!" You might be a redneck.

Honestly, I thought it was a joke picture. I had no idea someone would be that crazy.

What's with the child seat?

you know i talked to the guy the front brake is the throtel. right after i stop taking video he did a power brake. oh man it was soooooooo funny

I've never understood the concept of putting motors on bikes. If you want a motorized bike buy a Vespa.

Heck, anyone can do that; where's the challenge? Besides, you priced a Vespa lately?

Great video man! That thing kicks butt! I like the comments from the guys on the side.

Loud, probably DOES pollute as much as a Hummer, and smells bad unless you like the smell of racing castor.

Yeah, just get a Vespa - a 4-stroke one.

I say rig one up for a recumbant...

vintage...

Thats what makes it so crackin'.
Racing castor is a smell I like much better than the synthetic 2 stroke lubes.

pollution wise there is quality- percents of pollutants whitch has little to do with fuel consumption or power, and then there is quantity- volume of exhaust which directly follows fuel consumption.

Priceless video. A Harley creedo kept going through my head.... "Loud Pipes Save Lives".

I did a search to see if this was based of off some plans and found this http://www.bikemotor.com/

It looks like necessity and this guys mom are the mothers of invention.

Hahaha thats a funny video, that's a redneck rig for sure :P

Any idiot can hop on a motorized two-wheeler.

I'd like to see that chainsaw engine on a UNICYCLE.

Yeah... that would really impress me.

Any idiot can hop on a motorized two-wheeler.


But not any idiot can build a motorized two-wheeler. I think credit should be given where credit is due. Yeah, it's not the most beautiful mounting job in the world but they guy did some innovating and made a working motorized bicycle.

There a guy in my neighbourhood with a roto-tiller motor mounted to a rack on his mountain bike. It goes fairly quick.

I was trying to be funny. Apparently it didn't work.

A chainsaw engine on a unicycle. Get it?

the guy who built this one said he could build me one if i give him a chainsaw and a bike,im thinking ive got them both in the garage. or im thinking of building them and putting them o ebay,man now thats a million dollar idea

That's sweet.

Course he's the guy with the limbs in his yard that his wife keeps complaining about.
