I have a family member wanting a cheap powered bike. I looked around my shed and drug together my old reduction friction drive. It ate sprockets and chains, but a good learning experience.
Day one:
First I drug out a frame, an old Trek I robbed of about everything. and collected whatever I had to assemble it, actually came together nicely. I was impressed how quick it came together.
Day two:
Modified the FD scissors frame for direct drive. All the old crap off, hack apart, saw grind weld, repeat, till my old 25cc mounts to line a roller up correctly.
Now I need a roller, outboard bearing mount, and start fixin it to the bike.
