Hi all!
No motorized bikes here (yet). Actually I have been looking to build a mini outboard motor for my small fishing boat and got sucked into this bike thing. Now I'm looking at bike kits that will allow the motor to swap between itself and my outboard motor.
So I've been reading the forums for the past week and am interested in 2 kits.
1) Sick Bike Parts shift kit
2) Staton inside drive
I'm confused on what the shift kit is made for. Forget about the shifting part for a second...is it an "engine kit", or is it an "add-on" to an engine kit? I'd like to go with this one and mount an EH035 or GX35 if its a kit. If I have to buy a kit and then pay another $200 for the shifter kit, it will have to wait.
For the Staton chain inside drive kit, it says you have to fab your own mounting system. It looks like they just attached the engine to the other side of the mounting bracket. Anyone know why it wont work with the normal hardware? I'd like to go with this kit and put it on one of those folding Dahon's but it looks like the engine has to be on the right side of the bike.
One last question...does anyone make an adapter to mate a 54mm clutch to a 78mm clutch housing?
Thanks!
