I think that once you get out there and go 25 or 30 mph on a bike you will realize that this is fast enough. Most bikes are not made to go as fast as you want to. The brakes for one thing are not that great on most bikes. I have a gary fisher Joshua x1 with a 40 cc zane motori 2 stroke. It will reach 38 mph but scares the you know what out of me. Do not buy a scooter. You will have to buy insurance, reg. it and probably get a special endorcement for your drivers lic. One of the main reasons I have a motorized bike is to beat the hight cost of the pre listed things. Anyway a great engine is the Tanaka 35cc. I have one of those also but mainly use it for long distances because it is reliable as you can get and gets great mileage. Always starts on 3rd pull when cold and first pull when warmed up. You will get about 35mph on the flats. Iuse all my motors on the GEBE kits. For the bigger engines get a 14 tooth counter sprocket. For the 26cc size get the 11 tooth sprocket. I have all 4 of their sprocket and just takes a min. to change one out for different ridding conditions. My first kit was a GEBE kit with the Tanake 26cc pure fire engine. This a sweet engine and will do 30mph all day long with 12 tooth sprocket and it actually gives close to 200 mpg as advertised by the company. Get a good quality full suspension bike. Do not mess with the cheap Walmart junk bikes. Always wear a good quality helmet and use a rear view mirror attached to your glasses or helmet. Be extremely aware of your surrounding's when motoring down the road. Many people enjoy scaring you by coming to close as they pass. I have had them yell out the window at me and even throw things. Lots of stupid jerks out there so be aware of any vehs coming from behind. Motorizing a bicycle is dangerous. Hope this helps you and keep the shinny side up.
