I'm from Rhode Island, and was looking to motorize a bike from the dump with a chainsaw..
's about it...

Trying to find a relatively simple way to do so, without welding, as I'm not old enough to have the money for equipment.
 
THere is a thread in the Rack section

Hey there, welcome to MBc! Theres loads of info on here that is bound to be able to help you out here, I think your best bet is to make some sort of friction drive (a spindle that turns on the top of the tyre). This video here will probably be a great help to you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEykJadNyHU, its basically a guy telling you how to put a chainsaw engine to run a bike. Just for ideas...

Thanks, all.
Yes, there is parental supervision, my parents say it's probably okay, providing that there isn't some law against it here.

Also, I was thinking of simply routing the bicycle chain through the chain saw... to avoid complications with gearing and the like.
