Hi Folks,
My name is Brad Jensen, I'm an electronic engineer living and working in Melbourne, Australia and have a keen interest in engines: petrol, steam and electric and their applications.
I recently purchased a 48cc kit from MBB imports in Sydney from their Ebay store...

I have spent the past 2 wees fitting it to my 24" Malvern Star mountain bike. The information and advice on this forum has been invaluable, and I have learnt so much in such a short time. Especially the noob guide:

I have signed up to this forum to hopefully help others as much as others have helped me!
I am lucky enough to work for a company which has a fully equipped machine shop with access to lathes, milling machine, welding eqipment etc, which has made the installation of this kit a breeze. Having access to these resources has allowed me to make custom engine mounts and lengthen and modify the exhaust.
It's up and running and ready for it's first long(ish) ride. I hope to post some pics soon.
This weekend I hope to head out for a few hours and start breaking in the motor.
Will let you know how it all goes.
