GMC’s first ever bicycle. #stihl
What happens here
The video introduces a GMC Denali road bicycle that has been creatively modified to include a Stihl FS 86 weed whacker engine. The narrator points out the main components of this custom project: the base bicycle, the engine mounted on a rear rack, the custom drive chain assembly connecting the engine to the rear wheel, and the throttle control system located on the handlebars. This initial segment provides an overview of the completed motorized bicycle.
Goal: Understand the project concept and identify the key components of the motorized bicycle.
