I'm new and all to this. I hve been doing a lot of search on friction drive and chain.
Right now im gonna get the 33.5 cc 1.6 hp Robin/subaru with BMP friction drive or Staton axle mount chain drive. With the chain drive, I'm worry there will be too much drag if I wanted to just pedal and changing a flat would be huge hassle. and if the cog get attach to the spoke, I'm worry it might break a spoke.
With the friction drive I'm worry the tire will wear out fast. I'm not sure but it seem logical to me it would. I would definately go with friction drive if someone who ride one can tell me the tire will last at least 2000 miles.
I also would like to pedal assist while the engine is running so I'm not sure if that will be possible with the chain drive.
I have dreamed a lot about travel the country and be on the road... with this I think it'll happen
Your advice?
