Question of Curiosity...

Does anyone make an electric motor that would be a direct swap for the common 2 stroke engine?

I've always thought about something like this, then swap motor sprocket with a 415 chain sprocket. I'm not sure if it will work, cause I'm not versed in this electric bike stuff yet. Also would need a freewheel sprocket either on motor or driven sprocket.

Power wise there is an expensive electric bike... The rider needs a back pack with a 25lb battery to get any distance from it....

On top of the bottom bracket is the best place to mount a mid drive
But a mid drive won't fit on top of the BB on most bikes unless the bottom frame tube is dimpled (modified)

I always thought making an electric motor out of an alternator was a cool idea. They make a ton of power.

i think electric is quieter but not much beyond that interesting
