Okay, guys. I'm really curious what you guys think about this idea. I think it would work, and would be a very sound conversion. My vision is to have a frame-mounted motor that utilizes BOTH front and rear dérailleurs.
From what I've been reading, this will be a culmination of many different systems put into one. So here goes:
We start with any ol' bike.
I'm thinking a good engine right now is to run the 4 stroke Honda GXH50 (http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com...1+5+8+Keyed+Shaft+Overhead+valve+LOS+7000+RPM)
Next, we'll use the clutch from Staton (http://www.staton-inc.com/Details.asp?ProductID=3288)
The gear box and mount will come from the Whopper Stopper (http://www.bicycle-engines.com/49cc-complete-powered-engine-p-156.html)
Now, instead of running a chain to the rear wheel, we run it directly to the front sprocket that we get from here (http://www.cyclone-usa.com/store.php?crn=203) that utilizes a 14 tooth freewheel sprocket, chain wheel, and crankset.
Am I missing something here? Why has this not been done yet? I soon have plans for a GEBE/GXH50 build as soon as the motor comes in from Staton. But I would think this might be a better way to go. Any opinions, comments, suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
