Hi everyone!
I'm very new to this whole idea of motorized bikes, and really want to get one, but I have some ideas about what I would like to be able to do, so I'm hoping to get some advice from the collective mind!
I can go for either a kit or a fully-assembled, I haven't decided which way to go.
Here are my questions:
Which is better, 2-stroke or 4-stroke, as far as reliability, ease of use, care and maintenance, etc.
Is it possible to assist the motor if it is engaged, for example going up a hill?
Which is the best way to have the motor connected to the bike (I've seen mention of belts and chains, and I think there is another method which attaches to the tire directly, but I'm not sure...)
If I go for the kit, what do you all think about picking up a cheap bike at WalMart? Is it better to get a higher quality bike, or do you think an inexpensive one would work fine?
Have any of you had the motor stolen from your bikes? Just curious!
Thanks in advance!!!
