I'm looking around for an ideal bike to put motor on. I'd like the "folded-back" handlebars, V-frame, splash guards, and luggage rack. Aluminum would be better.
Are bicycles with gears any better than single speed bikes? I can't see how shifting gears would make difference - unless you're out of gas. Most of time you're riding motor though. Does pedaling while motor runs up hills add to power at all?
Has anyone used a bike with 3-24 gears found that it is any better than single speed? I would think single speed would leave less to go wrong and could "confuse" engine chain.
