I have decided to order the Zeda 80 kit linked below to start on my first motored bike build based on other thread rcommendations posted here.
Link to kit: https://www.bicycle-engines.com/new...torized-bicycle-engine-kit-firestorm-edition/
I am tentatively going to put this on an 80s steel, 27" Centurion roadbike (converted to a gravel bike) I have around. I will be riding about 95% on flat roads and No off-road stuff. I just had a couple of questions about the available kit options before ordering:
1) Is there much advantage to either of the optional cylinder heads linked in the ad? I'm looking more for reliability than huge performance.
2) Would the 36 tooth sprocket option be any problem for use with the stock kit? I'm 180 lbs and want the Bike to cruise, without working too hard, at about 30-35 mph.
3) Are there any upgrades to the standard kit components that anyone would care to recommend. I do want the clutch lever lock to work, and I want a good cdi and magneto. I don't mind spending a little more upfront to avoid redoing something.
Thank You for any opinions or advice anyone could offer. John
