Bremen Flyer Almost Done!

Well, here it is, a purely functional, made with what I had, no frills,motorized bike.

The Piaa light got dropped, and I haven't flamed it yet, 700 miles have been put on, just for testing purposes of course.

I actually wore out the kevlar reinforced tires that I originally put on the bike, had to replace them with what was available, 26x2.125, now it is really a smooth ride.

Gas mileage is about 100 mpg. I ride the bike to work every chance i get, but it seems to rain a lot.

Hope you like it.

Very nice ride.

That looks like the V8 of the motored bikes

How well does it go? Speed/pull etc.

I love how you did the bike chain to make a coaster rear brake with that foot pedal.
And that belt pulley on your rear wheel...is that...a 26" rim?
But since it has no crank,it's essentially a motorcycle,no?
How ya keeping the cops away?

First All, Thanks! The speed was radar gunned at 46 downhill by my brother in law, (County Sheriff).

As far as the State goes, it is still a bicycle. They said they don't register bicycles.
I'll ride until I'm told to do something.

The seat is from a Honda Aero Scooter, along with the throttle and the left assembly.

The only thing I bought was the engine and clutch, belt, and now 2 new tires.

Everbody loves it, that sees it. Even a BMW rider wants to put it in the monthly newsletter.

Thanks again for looking!

:???: UH< I forgot to add that the new seat I bought broke, and due to the fact, along with being the highest taxed state in the USA, we have the worst roads around where I live. That seat is the most comfortable seat you can imagine!

The headlight is a 55 watt KC, the motor has a charger, I won't be driving at night much, way too dangerous.

Feel free to ask any questions, and Pianoman, still waiting for your email.

Battery Box

Hi Again, by the way the battery box is a cd drive bay from a computer. The belt tensioner is from a roto-tiller. And the floorboard supports are a barn door hinge cut in two. I used anything I could, nothing was safe! There is even a sealed bearing that I used on the belt tensioner to hold the correct tension.

Drive Wheel

Yes the 26" wheel was used for the belt drive, I cut all the spokes out and welded it to the other one. Then later I cut up a tire and riveted it to the rear drive rim to make it bigger, that made it go faster on top end.
