I want to convert my old pedal bike into a motorized one, and am thinking of using a weed wacker engine (mainly because i'm an unemployed high school kid and those are the cheapest I can get). But before I start I want to know how reliable these engines are. Can they handle hills and stuff? Do they last long? I would really only be using it for joy riding and maybe a 1 mile flat commute to school. Basically, should I get the cheaper weed wacker engine or invest a lot of money in an actual engine made for bikes?
