No why would you think you are being a jerk haha. Point very proven, I have seen some very cool things recently on YouTube of those fantastic Chevy engines, apparently people have gone as far as replacing boat v6s with automobile v8s, which is just pretty damn cool. It also sounds like a huge freaking headache...

So these engines are practically everyday vehicle engines just with special add-ons, or flips in the positioning of pumps, starters, etc. which is by all means doable in a boat since they tend to be rather large, plenty of extra room.

These bicycle motors don't have even basically half the advantages the larger motors have when it comes to running belts or gear work with the accessories, the bike motor is stuck in its small form, without much to actually have the ease of changing...

Does anyone at all sell something along the lines of a general purpose 4 stroke motor of the 49-212 size or even 35 that runs the drive shaft clockwise? If it's this easy then it should be available, and so you'd have no reason to modify a counter clockwise drive motor to run backwards when you can just buy a already running clockwise motor?

Ya I'm with you. You would think there would be some out there, and their probably are. To attempt to change the drive rotation of these that we have available when the outcome is easily achieved by gears and belts is a pretty bone head idea.

With a 20 inch wheel it shouldn't go too fast in first gear.
