Staton 24 speed Shifting with the engine and peddling

Cool set up..... You could shift that like an 18-wheeler!!


Love that disclaimer....Very good advice!!

NOTE: Just because your bike, car or motor cycle could go 140 mph, that does not mean it is safe. Ride at a slow safe speed. Ride at your own risk. When people in cars or trucks turn and look left and right, they see you coming from the left, and if they see that you on a bicycle they will think your going 10 to 20 mph max. If you are going faster, say 25 or 30 mph a lot of them will pull out after they look right and they will not look left again as they think you are only going 10 to 20 mph and they have enough time to pull out and miss you. If your going real fast, they pull out and you run into the side of the car or truck and that is not a good thing for any one. Make eye contact when you approach a vehicle and do not assume that they saw you and realize where you are. Always wear all your safety gear, maintain your bike in top notch condition and always have two good working brakes.


A motorized bicycle should not go more then 30 mph or what ever the stated max speed is in your local area, city or state. It is up to you to find out your own city, state and local laws regarding a motorized bike, trike or any motorized vehicle.
 
I am considering this for our tandem but also read that the freewheeling crank and idler is not part of the kit. If I can find the other hardware and it is compatible I may purchase it. This would make it better when traveling through the mountains. Staton emailed me back on another question last week and said that there is a 2speed gear box being tested that will be out soon.
 
A big thanks to mlcorson for mentioning this. I wasn't aware of this development. Its exactly what I need. I ordered as soon as I could which was yesterday. $179
 
Two Different Kits?

Looks like two different kits, huh? 24-speed on the right side, or 6-speeds on the left side.:geek:
 
Katoomer:
I'd like some feedback on this as soon as you are able. I have an inside drive, and I'm considering the purchase of the 6 gear when it becomes available. However, I also, like the pedal side option of the 24 speed. I may be able to fabricate the pedal side drive myself, but it would be more work than I'd like to dedicate to it.
