I'm building a rack mounted 16 inch weed eater bike with a 31cc reed valve MTD weed eater with tons of compression and power. I plan on driving this thing in the trails and maybe some small hills. I heard that the recommended gearing for 16 inch bikes is 14:1, but I only have the parts to have 4.5:1 on my chains and 3.5:1 in an old cordless drill gearbox i'm putting on my engine.
I'm not completely sure how to add these, but i think it'll be less than 14:1. Will the powerful engine, the fact i'm a really short and light kid, and the drilled out muffler with no spark arrestor make up for the messed up gearing?
