Hi everyone! I am a very broke student. After scouring the internet for alternative transportation options, I've realized that building a motorized bicycle definitely seems to be the best option for me and my 16 mile commute to school and work everyday. I'm sure that you will agree that if everyone rode one, the world would be a better place.
I've spent the last couple of days obsessively combing through this forum, and I am really excited to see so many experienced and helpful people. I would love to put an engine on my Dahon Espresso 26" as soon as possible. I want to join your ranks and am currently debating what engine to buy. Cost is definitely an issue but I am looking for quality. It seems that the chain and gear kits are better for me (it rains often) and that the four stroke engines are better for the environment. I am definitely interested in the kits available on Ebay because of the cost, but I am tempted to splurge for engines from Golden Eagle, Simpson MotorBikes, station-inc, BikeMotor, or SmallEngineWarehouse
I am not familiar with bicycles and will try my darnedest to make it work out. However, once I receive the kit I doubt my ability to assemble the parts. I've looked at the instructions for numerous engines and mounts and I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. However, I'm not going to let this stop me from making my first build. I know you guys are extremely helpful, and I'd really appreciate the input that I know you guys have.
Thank you so so much!!!
