My current motorized bike is a 66cc two stroke that I am buying a shift kit for, and have 2 options for the hub:
---I have a 7 speed mountain bike cassette and wheel, but it happens to be a little too wide for my beach cruiser frame. The gear range is good, but i dont think i really need 7 closely spaced gears, and skipping gears when shifting can get confusing at times.
---I also have an internal 3-speed sturmey archer hub that I salvaged from my friends grandfathers garage (with his permission of course). I know these are reliable when it comes to regular bicycling, but how about motorbicycling? The hub is almost the exact width of my stock hub, so there isnt stress on trying to widen the rear drop outs.
If anyone has ever tried using an internal hub, or has good knowledge about them, please let me know what you think.
