Hello all!
I've been enjoying riding my electric bicycle everywhere I go, but I'm also very interested in gas motored bikes too or ICE's (Internal Combustion Engine).
I saw a video better part of a year ago of a 49cc 4-stroke bike on a highway going 50 MPH, but I have had no luck finding that video or any information on a similar 4-stroke out there.
I'm not dead set on 50 MPH, but I would like to see what's available, and I'd really like to stick with 4-strokes for noise and ease of operation (no mixing 2-stroke oil or filling an injector).
I have ridden and raced motorcycles in the past, but to get more exercise and to have the freedom to use areas that only a bicycle can go, I like the E-Bikes to allow me to use bike lanes and paths.
I also want to dabble in ICE's that can easily keep-up with traffic (I'm thinking a max of 40-50 MPH with decent acceleration to be safe in a 35 - 45 MPH zone) Just because there's nothing quite like the power to weight ratio of a bicycle!
I'm hoping that the battery technology catches up soon, but until it does, for any serious commuting I'm going to go for an ICE bike.
