Well. At least you'll be able to say you're not Just Another Guy With a Flying Horse Kit.


Real interested to see how this pans out. But me, I think I'll stick with my 'lectric one. It goes almost as fast and it's never blown me up even once...

I considered electric as well, but I just love a good planet killing combustion engine. I may still do an electric bike next, but at the moment all the parts are expensive or hard to get, at least the good parts that are worth buying.

These phantom motors are way more powerful than the typical kits out there. Not even kidding, WAAAAY more powerful. That is actually part of the reason they are a bit unreliable out of the box. I've watched more than one guy who had their bike up to 40mph+ with zero engine upgrades, just the right sprocket size to do it and the carb tuning dialed in properly. There is no off the shelf aftermarket for them, at least not in terms of proper exhaust pipes other than what it comes with, which is actually pretty big compared to the typical 2 stroke kit exhaust. The piping is massive. With just an expansion chamber from other bikes modified to fit I have seen two achieve over 50mph. Speeds I never personally want to achieve on a bicycle.
