The most masculine white from of transport is a handcrafted 2-stroke bicycle.The fuel crisis and subsequent collapse will separate the wheat from the chaff once and for all.>b-b-but the government says they're dirty!NGMI. I bet you got the jab, too.
Where the retard with his nakamura converted to a 2 stroke moped? That guy's my hero.
>>2082363Why the fuck does it even have pedals
>>2082366to start it. these types of bikes don't have starters so you have to get it rolling then gently engage the clutch
>>2082363Why is this allowed? Why hasn't anybody done anything about this?
>>2082363You didn't capitalize White, so have no authority to make such calls.
These use more gas than a regular moped desu An you need to buy oil and they aren't as fast
>>2082388blame vespa for patenting the wacky valved 2smoke that doesnt just yeet unburnt gas into the exhaust
>>2082363When will DJT and my HOA crack down on these illegal e-bikes?
>>2082363i have one of these and it's terrible. it's a lot of fun it it breaks down a lot and is hard to keep running safely if you don't have good tools to fabricate custom parts
>>2082415>e-bikesno E here except for the spark
>>2082416>i have one of theseno, you don't. there's only one of these in the world. the engine is fully custom
>>2082423ok fine. i have a gas-powered bicycle with a 2 stroke 1cyl engine that is much the same concept
>>2082363Either pedal under your own power or get licensed, registered, inspected, and pay insurance. This grey area is coming to an end and nobody is going to reimburse you for your faggy purchases.
>>2082432if niggas can drive clapped out Altimas with no license, ain't nobody gonna stop a powered bicycle
>>2082432You do realize that long before e-bikes were a thing, 2-stroke scooters and bikes were not all that uncommon to see in a bike path right? Most of them were speed governed to 20mph to comply with powered bicycle laws that predate the proliferation of e-bikes
>>2082437>you do realize there were always embarrassing retarded faggots, right?Yes, we have tolerated the trash for too long.
>>2082432>purchasesit's a handcrafted engine
>>2082439>handcrafted>incompetent poorfag doesn't know the definition of a wordShocking.
>>2082439It's three of these actually
Why do motorized two-wheeled vehicles make anglos seethe so hard?
>>2082446Only ones with pedals and engines/motors combined, made specifically for coping losers. They are the ultimate incelmobiles.
>>2082446it's basically another memento of the heritage and tradition they don't havei would probably also sulk and seethe if i had no culture
>>2082363That's not a bicycle it's a moped
>>2082453moped is literally short for MOtorized velociPED and a velociped is just the antiquated name for a bicyclealso i dont see what being autotragic has to do with anything. early scooters used a normal ass clutch and most modern motorcycles have a cvt. being autotragic or not is more a function of agea better question would be "Does the rear brake go on a lever, or a pedal?" and then coaster brake autists who have attached motors to their bikes become very confused and hopefully die
just rid ea bikec ycle :)
>>2082436Are you white or black?
>>2082462yeah
>>2082466So a nigger? Ride on brotha, remember to resist arrest
cyclists are too mechanically inept to even dream of building such a thing, even from a kit. modern bikes have to come as sealed units made of more sealed units because asking a "cyclist" to even adjust his own brakes makes him start crying
>>2082466American then
>>2082449you think 'anglo saxons' (British people) have no history of motorcycle manufacture?!
>>2082415it's a gas powered motorbike, you idiot.>i live in a hoathat explains everything about your idiotic post.
>>2082363oh god i can hear that contraption through the screen
>>2082690>mfw i hear a 2smoke
>>2082454>also i dont see what being autotragic has to do with anythingNTA that chart is definitely based on USA's stipulations of what a moped is. Its just laws of a bygone era even if they became outdated or overwritten by newer laws.
>>2082447anglos also seethe over all natural push bikes and ICE-only motorcycles/scooters thoughever
>>2082671(pedal) Mopeds are pretty much a continental Europe thing like nudism and armpit hair, I guess they were also somewhat popular in America in the 70/80s but they were all yuro brands
Is this just a bench racer thread?
>>2082825DISCO
>>2082829Why is this allowed? Why isn't these """bikes""" illegal?
>>2082842>Why is this allowedThe manufacturer complied with speed restrictions and other laws so they were allowed to sell them. >Why isn't these """bikes""" illegalBecause they're under the moped designation, not bicyclehttps://litter.catbox.moe/8cu1yqytg9jmzp0k.mp4
>>2082843>The manufacturer complied with speed restrictions and other laws so they were allowed to sell them.Yes anon, I'm sure whatever retarded hick down in Hoboken who built that thing definitely adhered to all relevant manufacturing laws and is fully registered with the SEC and BBB.
>>2082842because the world doesn't revolve around you, faggot.
>>2082843What the actual fuck in Gods name is this? That looks like absolute proper shite mate. >tfw random 14yo in bumfuck France mogs whatever horror you build
Looks like no has a moped or other motorized death traps around here; bummer.>>2082857Its a 2000 Kinetic TFR. It was my first motorbike, my Mom bought it as a gift. They have a reputation for subpar construction since they are brazed together. Then someone had stolen it and I ran them over with my truck which completely cracked the subframe.
>>2082860mopeds make more noise than movement
>>2082867>mopeds make more noise than movement
>>2082904That's not a moped that is a bomb and will be fully illegal soon.
>>2082917>t.
>>2082867>more noise than movementbased
>>2082387Based, this guy is huwhite
>>2082432What, you gonna follow me on the sidewalks, piggy? You won’t do shit lmaoooooooo
>>2082447Femgroid hands typed this post
>>2082466Kek, made those two fags seethe really hard
gas bike kits have one of the weirdest online scenes I've found, it's the typical hobbyist forum thing for sure but a lot of the guys (mainly boomers) are putting thousands into these builds that are fundamentally BSO cruisers and pot metal motors, many of them get way past the point where they could have restored a cool honda cub, or a puch moped or something, or even fabricated something really dope, yet that's almost frowned upon... people who do fabricate stuff with these kits pull off some super sick shit though.
>>2082945never underestimate the power of autism and wanting to relive your youth. These boomers probably had some shitty 2-stroke BSOs growing up to get them to and from school and they just kept wrenching on it and brought it into their adulthood where most normal people would've just let these things sit in their parents' backyard and rust as soon as they moved out. They didn't ride around a Honda Cub when they were 15, so why the fuck would they care now?
>>2082946The ones who did ride around on on cubs and scooters were kids of the boomers like me, my dad taught me the way of the boomer. When I was 4 he put me on a bicycle and at 14 he showed me how to ride a kz650 lol, boomer biker dads are something else, he's always like "I started riding motorcycles at 9, I rebuilt a motor at 11" and "back then there was only gravel roads and no speed laws and we all just rode dirt bikes in the woods while we were all drunk"
>>2082945it's fun, broalso unlike normal cycling, these engines come in one of maybe three main models being churned out by bootleggers in chyna (originally being clones of legitimate scooter/light motorbike engines) so parts commonality is very high. their operation is fundamentally very simple so they're easy to modify and diagnose. the physics that make it work are just intuitive enough that you can do benchtop experimentation and easily diagnose the most common failures, but not so wacky that you need precision machining or a graduate degree just to confirm or deny common fuddlore.it's also plainly obvious that they will never be particularly fast, and pedalling them is a chore, so there tends to be not very much actual competition other than "my bike looks more SICC than your's" and even then that is subjective and half of the fun of these things is slapping it together yourself and making it have some amount of personality despite the core of it, the engine, being the same model (or at least same design, even if made by a different taiwanese child) 99% of the time
these amazon china doll kit promo images are getting out of hand
>>2083071Someone absolutely should strap a 2-stroke kit to their $5,000 Canyon Aeroad.
>>2083074>anon is proposing shit that would be sick as hell againMOOOOOOOOOOOOM
>>2083071>exhaust pipe melts the cf resinheh, nothin personal, kid
>>2082945They are Reddit type tinkering hobby bros who can't pass an msf course or lift anything heavier than a bicycle with thier scrawny arms
>>>/o/dbt
>>2083108this fully this they have to low iq to handle SRAM so they have to monkey on ICEV engines kek what bitches bitches of the year
>>2082363Only animal fuckers ride these abominations.
Why does this make the boomer, karen, and tyler seethe so hard?
>>2083130I think boomers actually like that shit since they grew up doing that, the ones who get triggered are the ones who had a shit childhood or didn't have a dadKarens get triggered because "that's dangerous/illegal!" And Tylers get triggered because "just ride a motorcycle/drive a car bro, what are you? poor lmao"
>>2083117for once the discord is better
>>2082833>discoblow up moped riders with bad maintenance schedules
>>2083108fun bikes are smalleri have a motorized bicycle, a Grom, and a sportbike
>>2082825>Mentions armpit hair>Open picture>No armpit hairMy disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
>>2083071if I had tons of money I would do thisstrapping an underbone engine to a TT bike would honestly kinda make sense, early moto gp was basically already heading in that direction
>>2082363i know why the exhausts look like strange musical instruments but i hate how everyone leaves weld/tool marks on them. just paint that shit nigga goddamn
>>2082438careful, you're hacking at the branch you sit on
>>2083401You snapped yours, fatty
>>2083108It is more likely they just like that specific type of machineGet t-boned by a karen in her sidewalk tank soon
>>2083402Swing and missI don't own a motorized bicycle lol
>>2083200There are lots of small bikes you can actually ride tho like xr80s or this >>2083395
>>2083418why is he erect
>>2083401The fuck are you on about? I post my rides here a lot, you won't find a single ebike.
>>2083445and the world clapped.
>>2083445he's poor. don't try to understand poors.
>>2083488This. This entire thread is about poorfag shit.Do not tolerate poorfag shit.The only way to ride is on a registered and insured Trek Madone.
>>2083492poorfags don't do painstaking custom fabrication
>>2083516I do that on my cars and boat though, not just a virgincycle.
>>2083130These sad goys pretending to be rich and calling peeple poors will never feel the soulful experience that this kid is having cruising home on his bike that he probably spent quality time with his dad making.
>>2083561Kek, the mental gymnastics you fags do to avoid pedaling is unreal.
>>2082363>The fuel crisis and subsequent collapseAssuming this isn't another episode of "urban dweller thinks fuel prices don't affect him since he doesn't have a car", anything remotely close to a "Mad Max" scenario you would want to have something that has some sort of storage capacity more than what you can carry on your back or a milk crate, something with three or four wheels.
>>2083577>fuel being expensive means it's "mad max"or you just want to get 70mpg instead of 10
>>2083589>instead of 10What are you driving, a tank?
