Pocket Bike Engines Tutorial

Haggard,

This is a great thread and the projects you have put together and shared here on the forum are all very interesting. But the photos you attach to illustrate the builds are almost unreadable and because of this they do almost nothing to illustrate what you are trying to share with us. I know you have the ability to get clear photos because in your thread Show us Your Computer space the third photo in the line up has plenty of detail and good focus and good exposure and you seem to have the soft ware available to draw over them. I for one just wish you had better photos to go with your build threads, as you are really doing some very interesting things.

You wouldn't have a spare camera by :rolleyes:chance?? My digital got stolen and all I have now is my $25 logitech webcam.
The pics of my computer room were taken before the theft.

Buy the tutor a newer Digital camera (eBay Used?)-send donations via PayPal?

Curious why thread is `Pocket Bikes..' when the HPV in pictures appears to be a single speed `Beach Cruiser', not a foldable frame design.
DO you have a decent Mono-pod for better stability of your shots??
SNPD have a spare camera by :rolleyes:chance?? My digital got stolen and all I have now is my $25 logitech webcam, pics of my computer room were taken before the theft.
Master builder; have you built any engine setups for a `bent trike?*? At Challengebikes.com can see `Trip around the Big-O' by BentJay for trike pic

Hey Haggard.....actually I do. PM me.....I won't have to shake my magnifying glass in sync with your pics anymore. :D
 
CC XT RIDER .
The title refers to the 49cc cag 2 stroke engine that is widely used on pocket bikes .
Hence "pocket bike engines". probably could have named it something better.
Any ideas??


I havent motorized any recumbents as yet but checked out challenge bikes and they look way cool and I don't see any barriers that would limit a motored version.

Can you describe how you go about adding the pulley/ or sprocket to the bike wheel itself, is there a part you normally like to use?
 
Haggard hasn't been around here in a little while. You should introduce yourself while waiting for a reply!
Haggard RULES BTW.
I wonder what he's doing these days.

on this build, it looks like he used a regular "happytime" sprocket, mounted with a rubber "rag joint".

Haggard started a new job, which takes up a bunch of his time.....

He'll be back!!

Hi sorry so long to reply .I have attached with rubber mounts similar to the HT sprokets.
I've also garnered old aluminum steet signs and cut disks out of them ..
I found attaching the pulley to the spokes was costing me a wheel a week on average due to broken spokes. By using a disk and attaching the pulley to it solved this as the disc actually mounts with brackets around the spoke tensioners which are a lot stronger than the sp[okes themselves.
Heres a pic . will give you a bit of an idea.
