Someone is selling a used triton pro for a good price ($50) and he is moving tomorrow. So I must buy it today or tomorrow.

What are some options as far as motorizing this thing?

How could I mount a sprocket to this thing? Rear wheels pivot which makes it harder to put an engine back there...


Any ideas? Or is this just a bad bike to use?

Id probably use the 79cc 4 cycle engine from Harbor freight.
 
Also, Id be willing to remove the pedals if needed to.... I know it would no longer be a motorized bike...
 
IMHO, just buy it & work out the details later. hahaha

one idea would be a friction drive kit on either of the rear wheels.
 
couldn't you rig up some kind of platform on the back to mount a 3hp OHV lawn mower engine??? Then just rig up a gear and chain setup???
 
U would have a difficult time unless you went with a motor above the drive wheel.
It would then be in your line of sight.
 
Now that's a funky bike :cool:

For that kind of money I would also buy first and think second... Maybe a pushtrailer would be the way to go? I'm sure you would figure something out. Buy it, buy it NOW :giggle:
 
well... he was asking $60, I offered him $40 (low ball offer) and he didn't bite.

I figured he would because he said he is moving cross country today... I figured he just didn't have space for it and needed to get rid of it at any cost.


I know I was a little greedy, but I didn't really NEED it so I don't care.
