Not so sure if this question should be here or under the 2 stroke section or electric section but here goes ...
I'm seeing more 29'ers now and the bigger rim/tire combo (the most obvious tip-off) looks like it would give more comfort, more speed (top end, per revolution) and appears to be a bit more robust. But I do not see many motorized bike enthusiasts doing 29'ers ? Is this because there are characteristics that make them not suitable to mount a 2 stroke or an electric hub motor ? There are no 29'ers sold a Target or Wally World (on none that I know of) and the ones I do see are all legit bike brands and all tout increased durability and ability to handle more extreme use as main selling points ... are there any 29 fans ? If so, is it more suitable for 2 storkes or electrics - or are they both doable (and realistic for the typical DIY'er) and it's more a matter of choice ? I have two 2-strokes but I am looking at doing an electric project too and in my search for a suitable bike - I thought, maybe explore the possibilities of a 29 ? Anyway - if anyone has done one - I'd love to hear about it's build and it's performance - whether it's electric or gas ... thanks
