anyone tried 90cc, 110 or over engines yet??

i am sure a lot of people would have seen videos like this. but check this out. seems interesting to me but i am afraid if it would still be called a moped. i wanna do something like this with my chopper bike. i saw video of a guy who put a 90cc or may be it was a 110cc 4stroke on a mountain bike. here's the bike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eTAOATfb14

Because of the oversize engines this type of bike can't really be classified as even a moped. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't exist in some way as a LSV? That chopper is a nice job but these are more my style: http://www.fxbikes.com/ http://www.projectm85.com/ http://www.derbi.com/int/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=148&Itemid=83

But the cost of these is prohibitive IMNSHO and their use is limited and cannot be easily ridden on public highways without fitting with lights and getting the whole registration thing going on. They sure do look like alot of fun though!

I agree -

With a Honda clone engine, you've got well over 50cc and a multi-speed transmission. Personally, I don't think going over 50cc is a crime, but when you add a 3 or 4 speed transmission, you can get going pretty fast! Adding lights and a horn would make sense for anything going past 25 mph, and some might even say that lights and horn are good on any two wheeled vehicle whether engine powered or not. You can get those engines in 50cc displacement, but they still have a multi speed gearbox.

I own a small motorcycle with 110cc engine and it can easily cruise at 50. It is registered and insured. Great for running errands around town and conserving fuel!

all above -- fun motor bikes or cycles to watch and maybe own ???

man and may we add woman -- have always it seems -- loved riding the two wheels
either without or yes for sure also -- with a motor

I have a weak spot for the old Honda 50 - 90 and 110cc in small motor driven cycles
what a motor
the thought of one on my bicycle -- must admit -- does trill me\

ride that THING

great responses everybody. i was looking to put something on my bike that would allow me to take off from a full stop without pedalling. yes the engine is very oversized. but does anyone knows that is around 50- 80 cc that lets me still stay around 25mph AND lets me not pedal much from a full stop?

right now i am just happy building my chopper bike with a 50cc bike kit.

it's a motorized bicycle or is it ???

most if not all 50 to 80cc need not pedal for take off
if geared properly

if we have an 80cc and only wish for a 25mph max speed
it's going to be pretty low geared -- no pedals needed on this little beast

BUT -- WE LIKE OUR PEDALS -- it's a motorized bicycle or is it ???

ride that THING

 

[zackwyldefan]

oh thats great! if i dont have to pedal on every take off thats awesome! i have a 50cc little engine and the other thing is that my bike is a single speed. and if my bike can even go 18-20 mph i'll be more thn happy as i like to cruise at slow speeds. it gives me more peaceful riding experience. thanks mountainman. and yeah i have to keep my pedal as my bike is a coaster brakes. right no i am trying to figure out how to get a serial number for my bike so i can get it registered, insured and licensed.!! thanks everybdoy!

no its not painful at all mountain man once your ride has a serial number. see you can get your vehicle registered to dmv if you have a serial number for your bike . but yes dmv paperwork for registration is a must. insurance is really very cheap and in new jersey you get a license for a moped even if you dont have regular car license. in lot of other states you have to have the car license first before you can have any other licenses. plus i want to ride feeling perfectly secure that i am respecting the law.
