Hiya everyone. Been lurking here for quite a while, and finally decided I might have something to contribute. My name is Denny, and I live in Juneau, Ak. I had a small disagreement with the local law enforcement system and lost my license, so I bought a bike for mobility. Well, it wasn't long before I discovered that a 58 yr old contractors carcass isn't what it used to be, so being somewhat inventive, and lazy, I decided to put a motor on it. I went to e bay to find a trimmer engine, and holy moly, somebody had beat me to the idea. I bought a 70cc Dax, and installed it without too much trouble. Fired it up and had a blast. Then the monsoon season hit (rains about 321 days a year in Juneau) Discovered that in China it doesn't rain as much as it does here, and the kits don't appreciate being covered in mushrooms and green slime, so I bought an electric setup. Got a little carried away, and also got a single wheel trailer, weed eater engine, and a 650 watt motor generator. Turned it into a home brew hybrid, which seems to work pretty well. I put the hub on the trailer, with the batteries and motor liike a pusher setup. Kind of thought I would be peeling my face off the asphalt in the first corner, but it works really well. That, and if I should get stopped, I can claim that the bike is the bike, and the trailer is just hauling a cargo. I mounted a switch on the bars so I can shut the motor off, and restart it if a situation should arise.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for all the advice, and hopefully I can become an asset. I would ask for stickers, but I may not be the kind of representative you want.......nah, I'll fit right in. Thanks again
