Projects update SUHR Bicycle (Excelsior motorbike)

I thought you guys might like to see what I ended up with. Decided to make it into an Excelsior tribute bike.
All hand painted to match a 1914 logo i found, does about 30-35 mph and is a ton of fun.]







I have it listed on e-bay now unfortunately as I need to raise money for other projects. Hopefully I can build another one soon.

 

Looks pretty bitchin!

 

ZACH your are one talented guy -sweet bike!

 

bad bad bad!!!! great job!

 

Thats cool as shit. We have an Excelsior Henderson guru near where I live. Biggest dealor this side of the Mississippi. He would love to see that!

 

FUN stuff! Right on profile, looks like it SCOOTS too....

 

SUHR..did you ever get that bike shop info I sent you last month?

think I pm'ed it to you..was in GrandRapids Ohio.

 

Holy shit that is cool. Nice job.

 

Awesome, glad I checked in when I did or I'd have missed this. It's the only trouble with this forum, you see a lot of cool stuff but damn, you also miss a lot of it!!!

 

Very nice Zach!

 

thanks everyone

vonfink, i did recieve that and check it out... looked back and i didnt reply to you.... I'm sorry! i thought i had.... thank you very much for the info

 

Zach, that thing is RAD!!!

 

Is that an adaptable KIT type of motor? Any info you can share? The Whizzers had a big belt that ran the perimeter of the tire which is kind of funky and cool but has always turned me off, I guess. I really like the dual chain pedal/motor driven setup.....

 

thanks, yeah its a "kit" motor
its 80cc, if you search motor bike, bicycle motor, motorized bicycle... things like that on e-bay you'll find tons of them

you get everything you need to adapt a bike into a motorized bike, just most of it is pretty generic looking so i tried to make mine look older

 

Cool. I just bought an old Schwinn Heavy-Duti. I think this would be something cool to do with it. Especially since my chrome is kind of rusty and I was thinking of painting it anyway.

 

thats awesome man, local guy pedals those motors,. ive been thinkin about one!

 

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Soooo rad! That thing really scoots too!

 

thats cool glad you got it..I was having PC issues that week and wasnt sure if things were loading and or getting sent, than I took vacation for 2 weeks and really was in a DGIF mode...if you know what i mean..hope it was useful info.

 

HA! That's awesome Zach! So that's what you've been busy with! Very nice!!!

...now to build that board track!

 

Zach, I saw this when Ryan posted it to Jockey Journal. That cycle is cool. You do beautiful work ... and actually get things done! I wonder what the neighbors think of it?

 

THANKS, I'll check it out. I've got a really neat board track style bike that may NEED (haha) this!!

 

Very cool, Zach - nice work! Good luck with the sale.

I rode a guys (Saphorn from CA) bike at Bonneville last month that had a kit engine on it - He also bought the kit off Ebay. Pretty quick for what it is!

It had skinnier tires on it and was a little scary at higher speeds, but fun!

That's also his RPU to the right

Nothing less than your usual killer standards, Gow Man!!! Just cool as shit!

That is cool! I used the same engine on my project called the "Skinny Chopper". I put it together a couple of years ago. It is based on a 20" bike.

sweet! what's an engine kit cost about?

 

Zach... Bike looks awesome!

 

Man thats cool I don't know about riding it on piketown road though.

 

engines are about 150-160 shipped on the bay.
looks like there is a Canadian guy and another selling a ton of them. If someone could get a group deal from one of them I'd be in, even if it was for combined shipping, see I need two.
