Tranmission idea:

[cloakedvillain]

The pedals are connected to a jackshaft via a freewheel while the engine outputs to the same jack shaft. This central shaft powers the rear wheel, allowing 2 cycle engines to freewheel and shift based upon the rear hub. It could clean up the look of a build if its got guards on all the chains. Can't use coasters though.

My math professor is super inconsistent, some days his handwriting is amazing, and others it's atrocious.

Are you talking about using a freewheel crank like the ones used on mid-drive e-bikes? Here's a video you may find interesting.

No, the idea is to have a shaft that the engine and the pedals both output to, power the rear wheel.

If you're saying what I think you're saying a pedal system has an input-to-output range between 50-500%. For example, 500% means for one full turn of the crank the rear wheel turns 5 times. An engine input-to-output range is much lower. For example, every 16 engine rpm the rear wheel is only turning 1 time.
