Hello all, first post here
I recently decided that I want to try my hand at adding a small engine to a bicycle. I intend to do this from scratch - no kits. The point is not so much to get it done easily, as learn as much as possible and create a completely custom machine. As things currently stand I'm planning to use a small (~30 cc) weed eater engine.
I've done a little research, and from what I can tell most people on here use a clutch that is very similar to an automobile one. I've seen several links to the one on kings motor bikes . com (separated because I'm not allowed to post URLs). I've also seen several posts about those clutches wearing out or burning up.
I was planning on using a centrifugal clutch instead, mainly because I assumed that was the norm, and for simplicity.
What are your thoughts on the kingsmotorbikes clutch vs centrifugal ones?
Thanks,
nms
