Hello everyone! Amazing site. Putting a small motor on your existing bicycle and get 100+ mpg - popular concept these days.
I have three vehicles parked in the driveway (Corolla, Tundra, Miata). The Corolla is getting 41mpg, the Tundra gets 19mpg, and the Miata 35mpg. Not bad numbers compaired to some. For everyday short errands (less than 5 miles), I've been riding the bike. Using a trailer for my 5 year old daughter and also for bags from the stores.
I'm sure my situation is like many others who have signed into this forum. Started looking for a moped. Somewhere along the way I saw a photo of a bicycle with a motor. Then to YouTube, then Google. Countless hours bouncing from resellers sites back to this forum. Big stack of notes here on my desk helping me figure out which motor system is best for my budget. Seems everything these days is too complicated. Everyone's got a better mouse trap to sell.
Anyway, thanks to the site developers and moderators for running a clean, helpful forum site. I've found it very helpful. Hoping to have a four stroke rack mounted system installed by August.
Best, Jeff
