Hello name is James I can't drive anymore and my bmx bike got stolen so I need to get a new bike and I want to motorize. Anyways.
I've been looking on this forum and around online at kits like GEBE and Staton. It rains here so I was thinkin the belt drive not a good idea.. and the Staton gear drive seems great except the losing power part. not to mention the price. SO I guess I should go with kinda piecing one together.
It seems to me like most people on here have 70-80cc Chinese two stroke engines.. ARE THESE LOUD?? compared to 4-stroke. Reason why I am asking is because I will be riding through neighborhoods and kinda city like environment.. I was considering the Honda GX-25 or GX-35 4-stroke because I heard they are quiet.. but why don't I see anyone on here mounting them in the frame like the Chinese engines? I've only seen them Rack Mounted like GEBE and Staton.
Mainly my concerns are that I live in a sometimes rainy place, the engine needs to be somewhat QUIET, and I dont want to really pedal up hills.. =D
oh yeah im like 150 lbs if that helps..
If anyone could give me some guidance or tips that would be great.
Oh yeah.. I haven't picked out a bike either so if you are in the Seattle area.. gimme a holler.
