80CC Bicycle MotorThe MoBike gas-powered 80cc motor bicycle engine comes equipped with an 80cc 2 stroke bicycle engine, a one-gallon gas tank, an electronic ignition, a rear wheel sprocket assembly, a clutch assembly, an exhaust system, and a drive chain. The 80cc motor bicycle engine does not require a battery because it uses the initial peddling provided by the rider to start the engine--making it lighter and eliminating the battery maintenance required. Simply peddling, then releasing the clutch starts the bicycle engine.

It comes with a 6 month warranty, and we also provide with illustrated installation instructions that perfectly match the engine you are installing. The instructions are in .pdf format that you can print out and have available while installing your 80cc motor bicycle engine.

It seems obvious, but is important to note that not all engines fit all bicycles, and some modifications to your bike may be necessary. Please feel free to contact us to help you determine which engine and bicycle best fit your needs and to answer any questions you might have. Once the bicycle frame is properly modified if necessary, most people who have installed their own motors tell us that it takes them anywhere from half an hour to three or four hours, depending on their mechanical ability and know-how.

Enthusiasts who prefer the 80cc motor bicycle engine are often individuals who weigh over 200 pounds who live in hilly or mountainous areas—one individual reported with a larger engine he can maintain 18 miles per hour climbing the steepest hills even though he weighs 200 pounds. Some motor bicyclists seem to be nomadic in nature and pull trailers behind them on their travels which requires a larger engine. Other riders use the more powerful engines because they like to go off road onto beaches or packed trails—which these engines are not designed for.

You new motorized bike equipped with our 80cc motor bicycle engine will be capable of motoring at 15 miles per hour with a range of approximately 150 miles per tankful (one gallon). Many get less mileage due to their size and weight, road conditions (hills, etc), or riding style—such as traveling full speed with a wide open throttle, which should never be done during the breaking-in period).

State laws do vary, as does enforcement from one community to another. It is important to learn and follow all state and local requirements for motor bicycles. While the 49cc engines are generally legal in most states without a license/registration/insurance, engines over 50cc often aren’t. Motor bicycle riders report that law enforcement officers are often curious about their motor bicycles and are well-disposed toward them—but then again, they don’t ride where there not supposed to, and don’t scare pedestrians in crosswalks. Be safe…be courteous… and have fun!

Motorized bicycles are far from new—they were first introduced in the 1890’s and were popular as late as the 1950’s. Good ideas linger and anything that gets us out of our cars, closer to nature, and exercising more while being good for the environment is a great idea.
