Hi guys, starting the hard task to project and build a motored cruiser here in the corner of europe - Portugal.
For the bike i'm thinking in the Schwinn Heavy Duti , that i have to order from Netherlands.
" Heavy Duti -Classic ?32 designed Schwinn Camel Back frame featuring dual top tubes for added strength. Schwinn scooped stainless steel fenders and Rust Proof chain. Heavy Duti cruiser tires with thorn resistant tubes. Corrosion resistant alloy wheels with 12g stainless steel spokes for added toughness. Classic Schwinn 2-spring saddle for sofa-like comfort. B.E.D. coated handlebars, stem, crank, chainwheel & seatpost for corrosion resistance. Shimano coaster brake provides sure stops. "
For the engine, i'm thinking in a chinese 2 stroke engine, but getting it from the US is not a option due to customs/import/costs issues, so i need ur help to spot a EU distributor of an HT 49 cc.
For the assembly, a frame mount design, where torque and not speed is the concern due to the big hills of my town - aiming a 25 mph top speed.
4 the tank im thinking in building a small one to fit in the middle of the two top tube's, like the old lovely schwinn's.
apreciate ur input on my ideas and links to european/uk HT 2 stroke engines distributers/sellers- please no ebay sellers.
