you electric guys still there?

BionX PL350 + Small diesel engine for power assist=Convert to Veg Oil/BIO diesel

Are there any decent SMALL diesel type engines vs standard gasoline {aka petrol} 2 or 4 cycle available for mounted power assist?

SNPD/edtd usually run best with diesel power seriously, an old electric drive. 24 V, lead gel acid batteries=heavy). 18 mph on flat ground...fresh batteries.
good torque for take off. got about an hour of "throttle" time, then ya gotta plug it in for 8 hours. Great for short rides.
hmmmm, I need to get that kit off the bench & on a bike!

Have a recumbent trike, will post pictures when I fgure out how (aka FIND my working camera!)
Am installing a PL350 BionX rear hub/wheel ASAP, mainly for cruising in town, near law enforcement. But think I will still need more kick for the hills in my area!
