Alright guys,
So me and my friend was super drunk last night and we started complaining about how it was to much of a hassle to drive in this small town we live in, but walking is just to much of a pain..... so we brain stormed and came up with the idea of putting a motor on a bike... We talked about a lawn mower engine and then decided no cause it was vertical mounted...
Well it wasnt till today that I relised lots and lots of people are doing this.... I was really impressed with the kind of flowing this hobby has... which is awesome.
My question is where would I get started putting a motor on a bike? I have looked at a few kits but most of them are just out of my budget, I honestly dont want to spend more then about $200-$300 not including bike frame. I am basicly just looking for something to cruise around town on when i dotn want to drive or walk... save the planet ya know?
If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome, keep in mind I have no engine knowledge what so ever.. well short of a small engines class back in the 8th grade... but ya... please post dummy to me.
Another thing, sense I am a fair believer of quid pro quo (A thing for a thing) I would be willing to trade knowledge, I do web design and websites for a living so if anyone has any questions about that I wouldnt mind helping at all!
Or, if anyone is looking to set up a website of their own maybe we can trade out work for parts... Just some ideas or suggestions, thats all
Thanks in advanced!
