DIY Motorized Bicycle
    #10365082 - 05/19/09 04:13 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Anybody ever done this? Or maybe cruised on a motor-powered bicycle? I am thinking this would be a fun way to get to work, without having to get up an extra hour and a half early to actually pedal my ass to town.

I borrowed one from my friend. It works, but it tended to vibrate quite a bit at speeds over 15mph or so. It got 200mpg though, which was cool. Bottom line is its ok, but a moped/scooter is better and more comfortable.

Not hard to make your own electric one, but its hard to make one thats reliable.  I was gonna gut a wheelchair for a while there, but I ran out of finances. 

Fact is, if you're crafty, know how to weld, and have a lil dough or resources, have fun :laugh:

The electric motors seem pretty weak. I'd put a little more faith in a tried and true 2-stroke.

The two-stroke kits don't seem to bad.  But those four-strokers are expensive and bulky taboot.

Right on man! How stable a ride is it? How hot does that little engine & exhaust get? Ever catch your legs or feets or laces up in the works? Reliable? Much tinkering needed to get it set up?

A little motor like that would be great on a cruiser bike, and we have plenty of those around here.
