[Will Snow]

My name is Bill Snow. I was on this forum awhile back but got side tracked and now getting interested these motorized bicycles again.

I started with motorized bicycles in the early 80's with a bike called " Bumble Bee". Did not hold up very well for me but was more enjoyable than my airplane that I put it in. That's where my interest started and grew into putting several bikes together. I have used several different engines over the years and even gave electric a try. The last bike I put together is an old Schwinn Black Phantom I have had for many years. I saw it at a garage sale and felt I couldn't live without it. A few years ago I put a new NE-5 Whizzer engine that Quention of Outer Banks SC. Hopped up. That guy does a great job on these engines, he is also a top notch person. I think there is a picture of it on this forum. I call it: Black Phantom Whizzer. It is probably is one of the very early pictures.

Bike engines I have used: Bumble Bee, MX-5, Bike Machine ( I think that was the name but I maybe off), Chinese engines, Golden Eagle and a couple of Whizzers. The electric was a currie

I am putting one together now called a " Ground Hugger " with a Golden Eagle setup.

Moved from Lynchburg Virginia to Fresno California about a year ago and starting back with the bicycles again.

I have always liked this forum, glad it is still dong so well.

Best Rregards

Welcome back Bill, a nice re-introduction there.
Good luck on the latest project and don't stay away so long next time.

Welcome back.

Have you chosen an engine yet? Fresno being as flat as it is, the R/S 35 would probably do the job for you, in the 180-190 mpg range.

Welcome back to the site.

You are right, Fresno is a no hills area. I have a Golden Eagle 4cycle I may put on it. I'm still deciding if I will use the Ground Hugger bike, It's a little tricky to ride, maybe a little to tricky for me.

Thank you for the welcome back, that was nice.

Welcome back. The one you referred to as " Bike Machine," was probably & K & S Bike Machine. I have one right now. Good unit

Yes, K&S, that's right. Thank you for making it clear, and they are a nice bike motors.

I like old bike motors & have had an Ohlsson & Rice, [ see my avatar] Bike Bug, homemade old rig, & now am " playing" with the K & S. With its Mitsubishi motor & great frame mount, I think is better than a lot of the expensive kits made today ! I may sell it soon, as the last one on E Bay went for $285 !! Then, I'll get another old, odd kit to play with !
