[TC13] Pullback Motorcycle

Posted January 15, 20187 yr

Hey everyone!

Today I'm presenting my TC13 entry, which is a pullback motorcycle. I actually built it before Christmas but I was never in the mood to show it, except for the holiday version on my YT channel.

I don't think it qualifies as a café racer or a dirt bike, so I'm just calling it a motorcycle. It was based off of this:

Image result for Yamaha XV920r

I'm not a big motorcycle person, so I don't really know what type this is.

Here are some pictures.

As you can see, the motor is connected to the back wheel by gears. The front wheel steers, and both wheels have suspension.

Thanks for reading. Tell me what you think!

Cool, I like the look of the blue one best.

Nice, but why didn't you use a chain? I also like the blue one.

Blue looks better. Interesting use as seat that purple panel.

... but is it really drivable with pullback?

Thanks everyone.

They are the same cycle, just the different colors are slightly different "bodies." The purple and orange one has a curved panel in the back instead.

It wouldn't be able to stand the high torque transfer from the motor to the wheel.

Yes, it does drive. When I first made it, it used training wheels because I didn't think it would balance. But when I took them off to try, it worked surprisingly well. I will make a new video soon to demonstrate.
