Man builds Motorcycle around car engine.

[Shorty]

You tube video shows how a man built a pretty nifty  bike around a small car engine:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czILfW3M9wI

That’s awesome. I hope that thing stays running. Kinda wish he had kept it unpainted.

My only concerns with the build are the battery location (too close to the swingarm?) and frame stability (upper rear and the front in general).

One-man army right there.

Crazy.. must have gotten paint on his shirt, he had to change it.
What trans/ read drive is that?

[inditx]

Awesome is right!
Well done sir!

Ural transmission and drivetrain? Wonder where that little V-4 came from.

The caption say the motor is from a Zaz 968 whatever that is. Incredible fabrication skills given the tools he has to work with.

Very creative!!   Necessity is the Mother of Invention...

Now THAT's my kind of budget bike! Too bad I don't have a spare Soviet made air cooled v4 engine in the garage. They stopped making the rear engine ZAZ 968 back in '94.
 I think the "Zepo" was pretty cool. Chrome air scoop above the rear wheel!

Kinda reminds me of the BOSS HOSS bikes.  They put an american V8 into a MC frame of some kind.  You could have your choice of a small block V8 or a big block.  Dont know how many they sold.  Crazy stuff...
This looks a bit more practical given the smaller engine...

It was used in a small military vehicle as well. https://tachanka.com/2021/10/29/luaz-969-m-green-suv-1982/

A more primitive version of the car > bike conversion.

Engine to transmission adapter looks factory-made.

Enjoyed that very much, thank you Shorty

Im not sure if it was the same video or it switched to another bike where they were working with a chain drive
I lost it where they were butchering wheels and making spokes from welding rods.
in our club there are a couple of well done examples of home builds, one using a Hillman Imp car engine,
 the other a chopper from a T3 I think
