Hello all! I as you already know am new here and new to the motorized bike world. The first prodject I have on the go is strapping a 49cc 2 stroke onto my mountain bike. The next, and the one I am going to need help with, is putting a gasoline motor on my Motorino XPr 500W scooter. I am hoping to make a "hybrid" of sorts. I am not sure if this has been done without total destruction.
Start of something good.

Hi Split, Welcome to Motoredbikes!
Tell us about this plan you have for the scooter.
I am doing a hybred also.

Well I have a Motorino XPr which I mentioned, that has been giving me some trouble latley. It has a 225lbs max wieght that I go over with my extra batteries and wieght from the gear I carry. I would like to get rid of the extra battery packs under the seat and mount a 2 stroke. The goal is to make it look as if it is still just an electric scooter, which you don't need inssurance for here in B.C.

Tim Allen it.
Yea a 2 stroke would be loud but I am not planning on using the gas motor as the primary source of power. Just a little extra power for hills like a support and have the gears set to pick up where the electric tops out.

There are several small 4 strokes out there that are considerably quieter than a 2 cycle. I use a Robin EHO35 and it is quiet and reliable.

As long as you feed a fan-cooled engine with cool air- it will be OK.
I am not to worried about over heating the gasoline engine components as much as I am the electric. The controlers on these bikes are very sensitive. The other issue to work out is the throttle. The mototrino uses all electric and no cable. I was thinking I could either put a throttle on each side or put a peddle on the floor.
