I am currently living in Belize, and i will be here for the next year and a half. My only mode of transportation is a bicycle, cars are not allowed on the island i am on and a full fledged motorcycle is not the best investment for me at the moment. I will be coming back to USA in a few months and want to bring back an engine conversion kit. I don't mind bringing back a full kit and an extra engine, however i would prefer to have something that is a bit reliable. I have built a kit before and would like to have the same thing here.
The bike i am using is a single speed Belizian junker that cost me $80, but it works and there are a ton of bicycle repair shops that are willing to fix anything that breaks down on me. I have yet to see anyone else with a motor kit but the island i am on is a perfect location for them. I know reliability and Chinese bicycle engine kits don't go together but statistically what are my best options? What extras should i bring with me? is it a good idea to bring an extra engine? what about filters? the conditions are extremely dusty here.
My budget is $300 max.
Ideally i would like to have gearing options, but seeing as my bike is a single speed without any gears i don't mind forgoing this.
