Introducing Myself

[kingdavidcoffee]

Hi Everyone,

I've become interested in motorized bicycles and found this forum recently. I'm thinking about the Golden Eagle kit. By the way, I have seen a very old style motorized bike still on the market called Velosolex, made in France. It is basically a bicycle with an engine driving the front wheel via friction rollers. It's an interesting new ( old ) bike you might like to see for fun on the web. Thanks for having nice forum for motorized bikes and I look forward to learning and interacting with you. Best Regards, Sam

Welcome to the forum. Friction drive is mechanicanically simple, but is usually rough on tires.
