mx5 asama bicycle

i doubt most wont be interested in this but there is quite a few of these motors for pretty cheap,700c rims and i have rebuilt the whole bike and motor drivetrain.quite a job getting this to run good but its quiet light and seems to propel the bike with great ease.plus my street beast, legal bicycle,43cc mitsu.norco frame.

All the pics are from the same side, I assume it is a roller type drive? Any details? Who makes it? Does look light.
 
to much sun today

i guess i coulda moved the bike to take the other side,but i didnt think anyone would say anything about it.yes its a scrub drive,if ya look in the second photo it shows the drive wheel.i had it out for a 10 mile ride today im really impressed.with the korean motor!
 
I like the idea of the engine being centrally mounted in the frame...looks like it could use a mounting bracket up front though.
As prof said please supply details.
 
ok

it is mounted on the downtube with a rubber mount and is moved by a cable to engage and disengage,works very well.not easy to do though,i cant see someone who isnt mechanical ever setting this up right.there is 3 settings on the shock engager.dry wet and very wet.they do not make these anymore epa reasons 2 strokes.but i bought this one localy for the price of a happy time.i knew someone who had one in the 70s and always wanted one,so i took a chance and im glad i did,doesnt compare to my staton kit but is kinda neat in its own way.the scrub wheel doesnt seem to be eating the tire but i have thousands of hrs in scrub drive terminology from years ago.
 
I just thought since you mentioned "there is quite a few of these motors for pretty cheap" that I might be able to find one. Can you tell me who made them, their name or model?
 
Beast, Thanks For The Pics. That Is A Neat Setup. I Have A "zipcycle" Made In Alabama, Out Of Business Now. It Has A 25cc Motor. A Cogged Belt Drives The Jack Shaft. It Has A Hand Clutch That Pivots The Whole Assembly To Disengage The Drive Scrubber. I Had To Replace Most Of The Jack Shaft. Have Not Spent Enough Time On It To Get The Motor Running. Supposed To Do 19 Mph. Some Pics. THE LARGE GAS TANK IS A PLASTIC GLOVE BOX, THE GAS CAP IS A LARGE TOP NUT. THE GAS TANK IS ON THE MOTOR. IT HAS NICE FIBER GLASS MOTOR COVERS. I HAVE THE MOTOR GEAR AND BELT OFF, TRYING TO START MOTOR WILL ELECTRIC DRILL. DON`T TELL ANYONE, I WAS SPINNING IT IN WRONG DIRECTION!! LOL. I SHOULD HAVE SOME PICS WITH THE COVERS ON, LOOKS MUCH BETTER. EXCUSE THE CAPITAL LETERS. Ron
