chainsaw motor ideas

I think the brake can go.

if your are geared too high, it wont pull itself & you'll smoke your clutch.

Well if your using the bikes stock rear derailuer, just start in a fairly high(large sproket not numerically) gear and shift when you think the engine is "redlining". Thats how I'm gonna do my trike use the 3speed coaster brake as the transmission. Wanna rig up rear indepedant braking too. but enough of my foolishness...
