hello all,
5-7 heavan i remember speaking to you about the friction drive and how it couldnt fold. tis a shame to have a folding bike an not have it fold. id like to see some of the photos of the chain drive folder. i remeber reading your thread http://www.motoredbikes.com/showthread.php?t=15908&highlight=chain but juct couldnt visualise it. Mine folds by removing the engine by the four bolts and the gearbox remains attache whilst not hindering the fold. and taking the engine off is benifical as im not worried about having the engine on the side etc. ill try and take a photo of how this is done asap.
mountainman thanks for the complement. thats the first of any bikes ive built has been called "heavy duty" !!!! its a nice ride in my opinion but I like going at 15mph for long distances.
DetonatorTuning no problem. thanks such gearing with the light 1:5 gearbox is only possible with small wheels so i have thought about this from the start of the design. as much as i would like to try a golden eagle kit the 1000miles per "rubber band" doesnt seem that much but really im more constrait by the fact they are not done it 16" wheels.
as for torque streer thats for the lesson but i never even knew that existed. there is no effect i can for short spells 10-15 foot ride no handed.
i have not put as many miles as i have liked yet im still trying to find a way to carry 4-5 times the gas/petrol tank capacity for longer rides , if anyone has suggestions im open to ideas. have have taken it around 40 miles in total test ride but really i want to use it for 100 mile plus rides in one day.
