Hi Everyone, this is my first post here, and my first-post-ever dealing with anything related to motorized bikes. Here is my intro thread if you want to see what I have a for quick bio: https://motoredbikes.com/threads/hello-from-nh.59120/
Anyway, I have been thinking of building a cargo bike using an old tandem frame. I would like to be able to ride this the 6.5 miles from my house to the supermarket in town.
I would like to use the Predator 212 engine, with this torque converter kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...title_huc_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2RB21RUGRFV4T
I would like to transfer that power to the rear wheel using a setup like this: https://www.pistonbikes.com/Motorized-bicycle-sprocket-adapter-for-rear-wheel-p/pssas.htm
To clarify what I intend to do, I drew a quick sketch to show where I was thinking would be a good place to mount the engine:
The proportions of my drawing are a little stretched, but you get the idea. I want something powerful enough to haul me to town and back with 50 pounds of groceries.
Do you guys feel like my plan will work? Will the components I've listed work together? Can anyone provide me with some websites that offer decent quality parts to facilitate this build? ANY AND ALL advice will be much-appreciated, and thanks for taking the time to help me.
