55mph

on a pedal bike

, I dont think so.
I'll be happy to cruise at a consistant 15-20mph with bursts up to 25-30mph max.
I figure I could pedal at a good 10-15 consistantly so going a bit faster with little to no effort is fine with me when on a bicycle.
When I want to go faster on two wheels I'll just jump on the cycle and go for a ride.
I feel an engine assisted bike should be able to start from a dead stop with a 200lbs. rider on it and get up to 30mph within a reasonable distance.
OK I do have a project going for the wife and it's simply a pocket bike engine with a CVT on her old mountain bike.
I hope it works and it is just an experiment for me.
If it works at all I'll be happy, if it works well I may put it on my bike
