Thought I'd share pictures of the beginnings of my new project. Got a 49cc DAX 4-stroke from www.thatsdax.com, along with the 5:1 PTO (gear reducer). Pretty cool gear reducer. It's got a dry clutch, but wet gear housing. I ran this engine today for the first time and was impressed with how quiet it was. It's nice and light too, only marginally heavier than the Honda GX35. The reported horsepower rating seems to vary from 1.5 hp (less than the GX35) to between 2 and 3 hp. We'll see. The first pic attached to this post is a photoshop mockup of the bike with a wooden flatbed over the rear wheel. It'll have a jackshaft that'll let the motor use the bike's freewheel on the rear wheel for probably seven gears. Should be a good hill climber plus fast on flat ground. Will add more pics as this progresses.
