4-stroke 100cc

I'll say this, by no means are these bikes perfect, but I will say the braking system especially with new Hydraulic setup of the 24' model is shockingly good, I just am tidying up putting a 224cc in mine, and it will stop 300lbs me @45mph quick and comfortably with hardly any effort.

The power stock is just Ok, since you are lighter, it'll do just fine.

Again, not perfect, but pretty good for the money.
One thing you must keep in mind is stopping on level ground isn't the same as stopping going down a steep grade. On a steep grade the stopping distance can be increased by 3 times the distance on level ground.

One of the biggest mistakes that is made with hydralic brakes is setting them to where they can lock the wheels up. This can cause the bike to go into a skid. Something which is even more dangerous going down a steep grade.

Definitely, I've drove around the smokey mountains a couple times.

Goes without saying, if you see a grade for a long distance, don't build up too much speed or ride the brakes the whole time.

And yeah, I think there are travel stoppers on the hydraulic brake grips, right now it will send you over the handle bar.
 
Hello all,

I recently have been daydreaming about cruising the mountainous gravel roads of my local national forest, wind in my hair, and whatnot. I love the idea of a dirtbike but even the cheap Amazon ones are outside my price range and will be for some time. I have looked into bike engine kits before, but have never seriously considered them because they seem finicky and I do not have the necessary tools or experience with engines. Now I think they are the cheapest way to accomplish what I want, so I figured it might be a good learning experience. My main concern is the hills; There are some long, steep climbs that I would prefer not to pedal up. I am considering buying a 100cc 4-stroke engine kit from Aliexpress. Will this engine provide enough power and torque to get me up these slopes without pedaling (I weigh 175 lbs)? I've read that the 4-strokes are more reliable but this kit looks bulky and weighs 46lbs. Would I even be able to pedal with this engine mounted? Would I be better off with the lighter 100cc 2-stroke? Are "China dolls" worth the hassle?

Thanks in advance for any responses
Yes with the 100 cc four-stroke motor kit for bicycle u don't need to pedal at all . I took mine out today for the first time 100cc four-stroke motor I stopped on the middle of the Hill hit the gas and it went right on up the hill without paddling it and plus you can't pedal with that big of motor on your bike anyways but the motor will give you enough torque and speed you will not have to pedal at all but be careful cuz it might be a 3.5 horsepower 100 cc four-stroke motor but it's got power

Some of us are large people 250+ lbs along with having 100+ lbs bikes. What some call a hill we Tennesseans call a bump in the road lol. Being in Virginia you know what I mean lol

The other factor to consider is if you don't have multiple engine driven gears; how much reduction you're using. If the hill is very steep (20%+ grade), you're a large person, and the reduction isn't enough all this equals to a burnt up clutch if no assist is being provided.
