Kimjon Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I've always loved playing around with gopeds. I've probably made about 10 of them, mostly from broken ones that people have given up on. Having made so many, you end up with a few spare parts lying around. I looked at the "graveyard" the other day and thought hmmmm - I wonder???? So here goes...

Kimjon Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 I picked up a nice 22cc RC car engine, these are normally pretty hotted up already. It then needed a drive spindle, so I made one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimjon Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Then I kind of got in the zone and forgot to take pictures...oppps? But I made: -An adapter for the air filter -Cut up an RC car expansion chamber and made it fit this application. -And machined up some fiddly little stuff to adapt the carburetor to take a cable, as the original was driven by a RC servo. I fitted a deck and other bits left over from past goped projects. Replaced all the old fuel lines with new. Pulled the starter...brommm brommmm...yeah buddy, success!!!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted December 15, 2017 Author Share Posted December 15, 2017 I've been riding my newly made goped around for about a week now...goes awesome, not too loud, quite fast, reliable... yada yada yada... So then inspired by getting back on this goped, I dug out my other two that were buried behind a mountain of shit in my shed... no easy task. Holly fuck they're fast! It's been so long since I've ridden them I truly forgot just how insane the power band is, I nearly flipped it first go! The red one (pictured in the middle) is geared lower and has a brutal transition between slow and hold the fuck on! The blue one pulls like a school boy from slow right up to warp speed, but is far smoother to ride. In a straight line the blue one is fastest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
