Cruiser with Staten Friction Drive Mitsubishi TLE43

An inexpensive cruiser. I figured I would give the concept a whirl with a low investment first)

Living in the Sanoran desert, we don't have to worry about rain causing the drive wheel to slip too much!

The motor will push me along at about 25-27 MPH (and, I'm an ex-defensive tackle!)

Thanks.

I had high hopes for that forum at first, the crash and burn was ugly. The forum still out there, somewhere, still smoking.

BTW. The make of the dual saddle is "Easy Seat" That one is the easy seat II, which has memory foam and the two halves are adjustable (in and out) to match the butt in question!

Interestingly enough, about 15 years ago, I met the inventor of the easy seat - he was a motivational speaker that the company that I worked for at the time, brought in to give a seminar on creativity.

BTW. If anyone's interested, I've found an English version of the Mitsubishi motor manual (well, actually Japanese and English) and I could post it in the next few days.

FYI, the TLE-43 is quite clean - it meets California emissions

Thank you, Lou, very informative! Ken
