Using Bike Shifter??

[WouldBeBiker]

Is there a way to use the gear shifter and 7speed gear that is built into my bike wheel for shifting gears on the engine. I'm trying to get as much power as possible without have to fully rev the engine because I'm trying to do something long distance. I also am curious to know as my engine is currently stock, what upgrades has everyone seen the most HP added to their system. I think my main concern with long distance is probably cooling so if anyone knows of an inexpensive and efficient method of cooling the motor to increase run time I'd love to hear your thoughts.

You need a shift kit. A little piece of kit that runs the power from your left side to the right side.

Do you mean something like this?

Shift kits aren't your only option. You can use a 3 or 5 speed IGH to drive the left side of the wheel.

I'm not sure, this appears to be a rear mounted and mine is a frame mounted standard Chinese 2 stroke. This bike is super cool though. I live in a the subarbs so having this little trailer would be siccckkkkk

As far as shifter setups I've seen, the sidewinder has the best setup. I like the rack mount with no jackshaft

only problem is I plan on using my rear rack for cargo.

Depending on what your engine is, depends on what'll work best for you. Where the engine is mounted doesn't matter.

I'll take a picture of where the bike is currently at in the build process either after work today or on Wednesday when I'm getting some extra parts in.

Is it a 2 or 4 stroke?
