Hi everyone...
I've been reading posts from your site for a few months, and have now begun a project and thought it time to join.
I've thought about motorized bicycles for many years. My father took me to an automotive museum (back in the late 1960's I guess) where he pointed out a motorized wheel that was designed to be bolted to a bicycle. I thought that was a nifty idea. And I've always loved most things motorized.
But what got me going on my project, was a ride around the block on a new tandem bike I bought for my wife and I. We're getting out of shape, and I thought a tandem might get us moving...together. But the bike just sits in the garage.
I've noticed these 4 cycle string trimmers coming down in price- I have owned one for a while, and converted it to use propane almost immediately after getting it home. So....
My plan is to add a small 4 cycle trimmer engine, powered by propane, to the back of the tandem.
I'll post some pictures as progress is made.
