Hey guys,
In a few days I should be receiving in the mail my brand new 49cc engine from ZoomBicycles. I've decided to keep everything motor-related stock, but I have ordered a few parts to make it safer (upgraded brake shoes, lighting, seat, mirror, etc.) It's going on a very cheap 24" Roadmaster from Wal-Mart. I've started by taking the rubber off the handles and repainting it.
I've done a lot of reading about how these shouldn't be used too much on gravel. This is somewhat concerning for me as quite a bit of the riding I plan to do will be on gravel roads, with hills at that. How do you think my 49cc Chinese engine will do with the stock 44T sprocket and 24" wheels in terms of torque?
It's not really an urgent question, as I'll be finding out for myself in just a few days. In the meantime, let me leave you with a picture of my bike's frame. Expect to see more in the days to come!
