Hello
I'm a retired welder. I live in Western North Carolina in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I have recently completed a motorized bicycle. My bike is a Schwinn Deluxe Seven repro frame with a Mongoose D40r fork. It has a frame mounted Honda GXH50 engine with a Grubee gearbox. It has a 44T sprocket with a clam shell adapter.
A friend and I built a motored bike when we were kids much like the one I have now. There was much more custom work on it because we didn't have access to the stuff you can get now. (No Ebay in the 60's.
It was dangerous. It had one caliper brake that barely slowed it when going down hill. At 12 and 13 we were probably too young to be riding anything with a motor on the public streets but I'll never forget the thrill of that first ride. It came back a few weeks ago when I took the first ride on my new baby. I've owned and ridden many miles on all kinds of motorcycles from Honda Super Cub to Harley Cruiser and had a lot of good experiences on all of them but none of them are like 35 or 40 mph on a motorized bicycle.
If anyone would like to trade a 56T sprocket for a 44T please email me rjonese53@gmail.com
