It's been several years since I was here life got in the way, covid killed my budget but now I have time to get my 4 wheeler going but as time passed I have more questions than answers.
I have a 2 person 4 wheeler, 17 inch moped wheels, I've only seen 2 others like it, but it is factory built, I would love to know what company built it.
My original plan was put a horror tool fright edger predator engine on a little trailer out the rear like an old briggs flyer idea.
Now I see electric has come a long way, and I see kits with motors some with some without gear reduction,
Those interest me but not the electric hubs as my quad has 4 moped wheels I like.
What I desire is to keep the pedal drive at least on the drivers side, both sides have 3 gears on the rear drive axle but only the drivers wheel is powered the passenger wheel is free.
After looking at some electrics the thought crossed my mind could I remove the crank pedals on passenger side and install an electric motor there, I mean I can do it but would it power the quad down the road and could the 3 speeds on the axle be used since driver and passenger had separate gear changers.
Same question about using the 3 speeds with a small weed gas bike engine,
whatever way I go to power it I don't care about it being fast,
if it could go faster than a healthy person can run I would be happy,
So hit me with some thoughts and opinions,
Many thanks,
Bats,
