[thescooterguy]

breaking news!!!! the scooter guy ads pedal option to his motored bike design , thanks to sick bike parts and there threaded pedals , it is a match made in heaven . of course i had to ad a few scooter parts to the set up .to be scooter guy friendly . you will notice in the picture the freewheel has the 4 bolt hole pattern . this is to accommodate a larger choice in drive sprockets . the good news my bike price stays the same , here is a nice trek navigator 200 , with a brand new 49cc Mitsubishi 2 stroke motor with a billet style air filter , , and rocket keyed , gear ratio ,is drive sprocket 11 to a 42 down to a 22 tooth chain ring which drives the rear cassette a shimano mega range 34 tooth first gear , lots of pick up and fast . only $400.00 this bike rides smooth , finger tip click shifters , matching blue rubber racing grip twist throttle and kill switch half gallon tank .

That's great that you have added pedals so that they will
attract less attention from law enforcement in California and
other states.

Could you please add some pics of how easy it is to pedal on
that bike?
How close is your left leg and foot to the motor and exhaust?

I would like to see some pics from the top and left side with a
person sitting on the bike and the pedal in the position where it is
the closest to the motor.

Thanks

breaking news!!!!

the scooter guy ads pedal option to his motored bike design ,

thanks to sick bike parts and there threaded pedals , it is a match made in heaven .
of course i had to ad a few scooter parts to the set up .to be scooter guy friendly . you will notice in the picture the freewheel has the 4 bolt hole pattern . this is to accommodate a larger choice in drive sprockets . the good news my bike price stays the same ,

here is a nice trek navigator 200 , with a brand new 49cc Mitsubishi 2 stroke motor with a billet style air filter , ,
and rocket keyed ,
gear ratio ,is drive sprocket 11 to a 42 down to a 22 tooth chain ring which drives the rear cassette a shimano mega range 34 tooth first gear ,

lots of pick up and fast . only $400.00

Please . Please . Please.
Take pictures outside.
In bright day light.
I can hardly see the goodies.

pedaling works . on this bike because the frame is so tight there is not a lot of clearance on the left pedal but it definitely can be pedaled , it seems to work well using the last third of the pedal , almost like a custom double wide pedal would be perfect. sounds like i'm going to break out the video cam today do another youtube video. it definitely will satisfy the law.

 

[thescooterguy]

you got it better pics , and a video , i give em what they want ,

I guess I am still curious what laws you are working under with this system? As well as the one without shifting you made before using 49cc motors? I think that Oregon is a great market for motorized bikes but doing it with non conforming models is not a good start at getting them recognized as a method of alternative transportation.

Motor-assisted Scooter

According to ORS 801.348, a motor-assisted scooter:
Is designed to be operated on the ground with not more than three wheels;
Has handlebars and a foot support or seat;
Can be propelled by human or motor;
Has a motor capable of propelling it no faster than 24 miles per hour on a level road; and
Has a motor no bigger than 35 cubic centimeters or, if electric, has a power output of no more than 1,000 watts.

Moped

According to ORS 801.345, a moped:
Is designed to be operated on the ground upon wheels;
Has a seat or saddle for use of the rider;
Is designed to travel with not more than three wheels in contact with the ground;
Is equipped with an independent power source that is capable of propelling the vehicle, unassisted, at a speed of not more than 30 miles per hour on a level road surface; and if the power source is a combustion engine, has a piston or rotor displacement of 35.01 to 50 cubic centimeters regardless of the number of chambers in the power source; and
Is equipped with a power drive system that functions directly or automatically only and does not require clutching or shifting by the operator after the system is engaged.
A bicycle equipped with a power source may be classed as a moped if it meets all the moped requirements and also does not meet either the definition of an electric assisted bicycle as defined in ORS 801.258, or a motor assisted scooter as defined in ORS 801.348.

so its a moped

under 50 cc , no clutching and u don't have to shift. and you can tune the carb so it wont go faster than 25 . i could do allot with a 1000 watt e motor . in fact i have a Currie electric bike 24 volt system goes twenty five . i can pedal a bike 25 with no wind. ha ha ...i have been riding safely and discreetly for three years , with no problems , i was pulled over one time on a Sunday morning i think because i was riding this

With a 5:1 reduction box to an 11:42 (or 3.82:1) - 19.1:1 would be a bugger to catch those pedals and do any work wouldn't it? Comfortable cadence for us mere mortals (ie. not lance armstrong) is 60-80 rpm. At 1500 rpm this is already 80 rpm to catch up.

Really nice design though - the electric start is a good touch, and those starters work well as generators for lighting etc. If I was in the US I would buy one, thats for sure.

I'm looking at making something similar - using an 11 tooth 6.35mm pitch (#25H) chain, driving an 80 tooth sprocket, without a freewheel (for the moment) due to our silly local laws about being auxilliary propulsion and 200W - at 3000rpm cadence is 80 rpm. Cops cant say its primary mode of propulsion 'cause you have to pedal if you use the motor.
