As say...a moped for riding in the city traffic?
I want something that I can do 35 mph on, I AM willing to wait for break-in, but I want something that can do 35 mph safely on.
Will this bike work for it? Will I need to get the 36 tooth Sprocket?
How safe will my bike be? I have a V-brakes, are they safe enough to stop me from higher speeds? Or not.. The thing is, there are roads here labeled 35 mph, and I would like to keep up.
Thanks for your info. I already have the kit and I am assembling it currently. I use to have it on another bike, but it would take forever to start, and throttle went in and out as it pleased. I want something reliable, and granted I changed the positiion of the carborator and stuff.
I have a small motor mechanic who repairs cycles, mopeds, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, and atv's that is willing to look at it and fine tune it. Would you trust it to be safe if I keep it in good condition?
Can I get it to idle properly?
I am still confused about how idling works on this motor. If I peddle it up to speed, and pop the clutch, and the motor starts, then if I approach a stop sign, should I just leave the clutch out and motor engaged? Should it stay idling, and then I can just twist throttle and go? or do I need to pull the clutch lever back in, (usually when I did this, engine just turned off...didn't idle), and then peddle back up to speed and pop clutch again?
I don't know what I am looking to do.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated, and btw...my kit is on a Schwinn High Sierra 26" Mountain Bike.
