Im contemplating a build using an alu frame Felt and a Honda GXH50. I would like an all belt drive using good old V belts for an authentic Look.
Can this be done without using any kind of a gear box or jack shaft,...or does there need to be a gear reduction of some kind. I would consider any solutions, but cheap and durable would be Key,....not looking to make it complicated. I would consider an old fashioned mechanically actuated slipper clutch with a belt tensioner or a plain old centrifigul clutch....but wonder if that would impact the ability to pedal the bike in an emergency.
