I didn't want to start a new thread but I had to as no-one has bothered to revisit my latter thread and I need answers to my questions if I'm ever going to get this finished. I'm trying to learn please teach!!
Ok It's YOUNGCHAOS, the college commuter, back with news of my first build. So I purchase a kit from Bicycle-engines.com since it seemed to be the build everyone has and talks about( the 49cc 4G T Belt Drive Complete Gas Powered Engine Kit). I'm curious about the Sprockets. Exaclty, How High can I go? My Kit comes with a 48 tooth, though, if I have the money should I get a better sprocket rig? I've seen as high as 72 tooth sprockets. Will I need more chain? I want to be able to pedal also in case I'm driven off the road and need to pedal the sidewalk. So obviously I need a wider Crank Shaft Sprocket (correct me if I'm wrong). Will I need to change the back sprocket as well if I move up higher? I've been looking at the 56 tooth sprocket; what would it take to do that? I have a Huffy 26" Crook Neck(will post photos). Also, I've heard the OEM Brakes are not ideal. Is there any disc brake's available for motor bikes?; if so where at? lol
Here is what is included with my kit:
