I am considering purchasing a motor for my bicycle. After lurking here for a while, I have decided that the wizard 4- stroke would suit my needs best. I have a few questions before I purchase, though.
1: What are the dimensions of this engine? I need to know if it will fit on my bike.
2: Is this engine any good? If I must use a different kind, my budget is 350 total and I prefer a 4 stroke.
3: How much weight can this push? I weigh about 200, and I will have a (25lbs at most) pack for getting back and forth to work.
4: My work involves multiple 6 mile or shorter trips during the day. Will I overtax or strees the engine? Standard southern climate.
5: Have there been any problems with the seller at that website?
6: Will my bike handle it? Here are the dimensions.
It is a 21 Speed "Pacific Vortex Aluminum 3.1 Elite" Mountain bike. The vertical bar under the seat measures 15", inside the triangle. The Horizontal bar is 2", again inside the triangle. The diagonal bar measures 24".
There is no shock on the frame, nor near the rear wheel.
Tires have a 22.5" rim, with 36 spokes. With the rubber on, they are 26".
It has front and rear wheel hand brakes.
Umm.. there is a kickstand?
Thank you in advance for your help.
