here is a link to the tennessee code as it pertains to motorized bicycles

http://www.michie.com/tennessee/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm&cp=

scroll down & click on the general index folder,(all the way down, on the left of the page), then select the letter M, go down the list , until you get to (motorized bicycle), click on it, all the laws are there. we are very lucky to have this code to access online, many states don't.
also check this site , type bicycle trailers in the search block, & get lots of good ideas for trailers, & good bike mant. tips as well

Vrooom! Motor installed and it works good but not without a few lil things...
I knew the minute I laid eyes on it that the chain tensioner was gonna be a problem. After having the chain derail a couple times I removed the tensioner and removed another link from the chain making it fairly snug. Slid the tire back a bit and adjusted and no more problems. I think I will get one of those tensioners from Tractor Supply that I seen mentioned on here. Well the main install is done now and it runs great. Not done with it but happy so far :) Perhaps I will pull the muffler tomorrow and tweek it a bit.

Leave a bit of play on that chain. Don't set it really tight. It'll stretch some anyway after awhile. I got one of those roller bearing tensioners, works great and really quiet. What are you going to tweak on the muffler?

I read a couple places on here that a few small holes in the core increases power quite a bit. Trade off is a lil bit more noise but I won't go crazy or anything.
