Hey, i've been lurking around this site for a few days i i just thought i'd check in
My friend and I are contemplating building some motorized bicycles.
I'm not going to buy a kit, because i don't really want to spend any money on this.
I've got a few bikes (banana seat bmx style, huffy kid's banana seat bike, mountain bike, and a foldable bike)
I'm probably going to use the foldable bike or the bmx (or a combo of both).
I'd like to build a set up so i can utilize multiple gears for the engine, and have maybe one gear for pedaling. Has anyone else done this?
I'm looking into my options for an engine and a weed whacker seems to be the way to go. But, i'm wondering if i could use a push mower's engine instead?
I know those engines have a vertical drive shaft, and normally operate on end, but could it be modified to run the other way?
-thanks
