I want to start touring in year or two, Poland is brilliant place to start a journey. Is in a middle of a Europe and I can go anywhere; west, east, south, north. Now I'm thinking about Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan... maybe even farther.
A small engine can be a great auxiliary propulsion for touring bike, helping in hill climbs and when you are exhausted. Motorbicycle is cheaper than motorcycle, has higher gas mileage and you can still pedal to make it move! In a middle of nowhere, with empty fuel tank you can still go. Ultimate touring machine. But...
Reading through your posts I made a conclusion Riding a bicycle equipped with a cheap Chinese engine is a lottery. I should take a big bag of spares parts or one, maybe two, additional engines and tightening bolts and screws after every 100 km. If engine won't fall apart after few days I will be lucky Or maybe engine will running just fine through whole journey without any malfunction.
So please tell me If I'm right. Those Chinese engines aren't "race-ready" and I'll need put a lot of work in it, if I don't want it to brake down after 100km. So touring on motobicycle is risky, I'm I right?
