Lawnmower subversion in Devon

[snailspacejase]

Hi to you motored bike people out there. I thought I was the only crazy into this stuff. Pleased to find I'm not!
Hope you don't mind me showing my contraption to you. It is a shopping bike with a suffolk punch mower engine grafted on the front. 3 speed gearboxes for pedals and engine. Auto clutch.
It made me laugh.
I'm toying with the idea of a sterling engine powered beast next.The problem is it will need a swept volumn of at least 600cc to produce 250w. Could be fun.
I normally get about on bigger machines and have yet to risk the law by riding the shopper/mower on her Majestys highway. Gonna do it when they are'nt looking.

Love the look on your face where the chain fell off. I'm all out of Suffolk Punch engines, but I just stuck a tecumseh snow thrower engine on one. That poor thing has been a happy time, an electric, and now a snow machine. What next.

By the way, your front hub setup just gave me a few ideas.......(runs off to shop)

I like it. Wrap some wood around it and call it an apple toter. Oh, make sure you got your ear plugs in so nobody else can hear it! Heh Heh!
