Hello All,
I'm new to this board and thought I'd introduce myself.
I live in Merriam, KS (a suburb of Kansas City). I got into motorized bikes very recently when I ran across an 80 cc Chinese engine kit for sale on eBay. I ordered the kit and my kids and I installed it on an old Murray road bike I had in the garage and was hooked! These things are so much fun! My older daughter (15 y/o) and my girlfriend love to ride it.
I recently ordered another kit to mount to a 1972 Schwinn Speedster I found on Craigslist. It's a really cool bike and should make a great motorbike. It has the 3 speed hub and I was wondering if anyone has installed one of the 80 cc frame-mount kits on a bike with a 3 speed hub. Any problems? I know the hole in the wheel sprocket will have to be machined to fit the larger diameter of the 3 speed hub.
Also, is there really any difference in the 80 cc engine from different suppliers? They all look outwardly the same to me.
I've read quit a few of the threads here and I look forward to sharing information with the members here.
Best Regards,
Jim Sitton
