Fat Tire Motorized Bicycle Transformation + Full Send!

that color combo is killer isn't it though you know the torque inverter is going to rotate backwards from the tire roll it forward a little bit but look at that it rides exactly like you would expect we recently took our fat tire motorized bicycle out for its very first test drive and it showed a whole lot of performance potential but the whole thing is just tacked together so in today's episode of cars and cameras we need to finish welding reinforcing the frame we need to come up with more permanent fuel tank we need a kickstand we need to paint it up and then we can do some more performance testing because this thing wants to go big thank you to current for sponsoring today's video more about them in a minute now let's take this bike apart [Music] [Music] looking good guys so now that we got all the welds taken care of uh it's time for some paint uh the yellow is pretty close to matching but not quite but uh yeah it'll be fine right that's what we got all right let's do it oh look made in taiwan we need we got to put a maiden usa sticker on [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] so the mullet bike is painted it looks great we just need to let it dry we had to go out and buy three cans of yellow paint as well as a can of self-etching primer for this paint job etching primer is always a great idea when you're starting with bare metal to help your top coat adhere anyway that leads us into today's sponsor current current is a new way of handling your finances it's less hassle less confusion and there's no dependence on a physical bank branch and plus they send you this really cool card as well which you know kind of matches the seat on our bike anyway it's story time come on gather on the campfire i'm going to tell you a true cars and camera story here behind the scenes so back in 2016 when i formed cars and cameras as a business entity i opened a business checking account as you do that bank got bought by another bank no big deal i lived five minutes from the bank it was about 30 minutes of my time well when i bought the new headquarters here i was then one hour from my closest bank branch so when that bank got bought by a third bank it was two hours out of my way just to drive to the bank and back not including the paperwork i had to fill out so that means that anytime i had a check to deposit or i had to go into the bank for any other reasons it was at least two hours out of my day current offers financial solutions that would have saved me from those major headaches during that time so avoid your future headaches sign up for current using our link in the video description and start managing your money your way again big thanks to current for sponsoring today's video let's check in on this paint all right it's dry it's ready to be put back together so uh charles what'd you think of it buddy i like it i think this thing turned out pretty sweet uh i can't wait to take it for its final ride yeah man let's get it back together yeah man [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] man this belt like fell out oh it did there's a little going in i got to come my way a little bit all right why is it not going cool all right cool that color combo is killer boy isn't it though it's so good very very pleased maybe we want to paint more of our projects and you guys even painted the rear wheel good nothing but the best for this build but a 30 year old tire hoping you weren't gonna see that i don't see much tire i see a lot of tire slime though that ain't going anywhere it's ready for a test drive guys awesome i gotta say it looks incredible yes thank you we worked hard on it you guys definitely did yeah i think this is the first project that i've been part of that we painted it like i think so start to finish and then painted it and now it's done again i'm turning out good do you really want to count this as a paint job no comment okay so the bike is ready for another test drive i built out our fueling system with parts from gopowersports.com this is a fuel tank fuel line cut offs filters all from go power sports they can hook you up for all your mini bike and go kart fueling needs you can find links in the description as well as the jug inverter as well as the live axle kit brakes everything in the description let's go for a test drive absolutely all right man that thing is awesome dude it is so cool i can tell it's gonna ride so funny it's gonna yeah it rides no so i'm gonna get a feel for it and then we're all gonna do some warm laps how about that sounds good on the grand prix yeah uh show the people how this uh you know the tour converter is gonna rotate backwards from the tire roll it forward a little bit bud look at that that is so weird looking that's crazy and that's all because right here we have the chain we have a sprocket sprocket sprocket the chain's running around this way this way and then back that's how you get a backwards running engine rolling forward very cool here we go wow [Music] a little out [Music] [Laughter] oh that's the tire scrubbing is it really and so we got two things troubling we got the tire scrubbing and the chain i think i just saw the front wheel pop up oh all right so do you think it's gonna make a grand prix lap at least for one of us i'm sure it will i mean we built it i'm going to take it easy because my shoulder is still yes please recovering and i don't want a recovering shoulder so i'm going to take yeah it rides exactly like you would expect there is no weight up there and all the weight is on the donkey dome yeah the fender gets really hot well that's because the tire is scrubbing self-clearing it's self-clearing okay it's like i had a heated seat yeah dude it rides so crazy it's sweet though i like it yeah like you're just all stretched out and stuff looking cool i'll go in a warm lap i'm not going to go crazy but i will go on this is crazy wow that's wild you can't turn that sharp i think it's fine if he has the fastest lap today what do you think i'm totally fine with him having the fastest lap today uh because there is no way i'm gonna go out there check this out oh you're holding it with your right arm but i can't hold it much longer so there's no way i'm gonna go out there and hurt myself again my arm this is whoa how do you think you did oh not good please just go for a warm lap guys because it was great you can't the regular seating position is like leaning with your butt halfway on this yeah after half the track you can't do that anymore because that's at about 190 degrees oh well uh that's kind of all right if we let some air out of the tire it'll it'll stop it'll fix itself yeah all right i'm happy with my lap it's been a while since we were on the grand prix ran through a couple of really big spider webs so you knocked them down for us yeah you're welcome boys all right who's up all right that's probably good buddy don't yeah we're done charles's turn he's getting on it i depended on me i ain't afraid to lose one hospital visit one and done [Music] [Music] and then isaac your first warm wax is direct is it this is ike's first warm lap since his wreck it's really just a cruise are you ready three two one and you can see if you look really closely you can see animals have been chewing on the knobby it's like a straight pipe dude it's a stage one stock tilting with a header man it sounds good for what it is very difficult here he comes for a first time back on a non-race vehicle that is good i feel like i can go again don't start let's go check out our times all right so here's the deal here is our top 10 and change leaderboard charles has my time ike has charles's time i have ike's time i'm going to start by putting ikes up on the board you want to see it egg sure you ran a one 17 56 your first time ever back really okay that's not bad cool that's that's respectable i was taking it easy that was a warm lap hey john what do we got a 120 21 congratulations man seriously i didn't want to get hurt it was the first time you have ever ridden the bike you did a little bit and that's true drum roll please charles the minibike king ran a sizzlin 122.72 so ike you're the fastest by a good margin are y'all just doing that no yeah that's right we're definitely not you've seen what i rode in on flat tire so i had to slow down the last little bit it was a flat tire charles could have beat me if he didn't have a flat tire i say we go again once i felt it doing this i was like i felt like i was going to tear the tire even worse and yeah that tire's coming to pieces yeah and the flooring with the tire coming to pieces just doesn't sound like a good idea so like i said earlier i feel like i got another five seconds in so that and i'm pretty good judge so that would have taken me down to like a 112 which is eh what a you gotta beat a better 108 to get on the board gosh that sidewinder did it in 110. thanks for tuning in to this episode and to this
