I had a moondog with a ht motor next to my bed for over a year. I loved to wake up and see it.

The HT motor is one of the coolest looking bicycle engines I have ever seen.

That is where it had to sit. It was not legal to drive it on the road in Florida.

I never got around to putting it in the truck and driving it to AZ.

I do have a legal motorized bike with a 2 stroke and a tag.

I also have an electric bicycle. That bike is legal pretty much anywhere a bicycle can go in Florida, no tag needed.

The HT motor will be a collectors item in the future.

....The HT motor will be a collectors item in the future.

All good things must come to an end. Considering the basic design has been around for 50 years, I'd say we're doing pretty good.

No manufacturer would spend the time and money to re-engineer the HT when regulatory agencies continue to tighten emission standards. Even a dedicated in-frame 4 stroke is a pipe dream. That is why we will have to rely on weed trimmer engines and wonky mounting plates in the future. I thought one of the greatest things about the HT engine was that it clamped to the frame.

If i send you a drawing can you get me a quote on a set of casted cases.
I may even be able to provise machined patterns.
What kind of casting so you do?

I want to make crankcases to take a Puch Crankshaft.
$120 bucks for a stuffed quality Racing Crank.
$100 bucks for tope end

be a real quality engine.
Basically a puch moped engine in cases that go on our bikes.

And in the future for the Fisher Engine.

And to the frictional losses.....
There is acrually less friction with the yoke arme due to the fact that the Connecting rod angle is greatly reduced.
