Bike engine kit
I'm thinking about converting my bike using this kit. Can anyone give me any tips? Does this seem like a valid kit to start with? I have some mechanical experience working with my jeep so I should be able to figure this out fairly easily.

50cc Bicycle Engine Kit - Covert any Bicycle to a Motorised Moped. 150 MPG!! Bike Berry.com


Thanks

Tim

Watch the youtube video about building on in the videos section to get the rudimentary idea..... then compare the more difficult things they guy say you'll need to the parts they give you

It's a no-brand engine, probably from China. It may not last very long. But you'd only have $129 into it.

Kits that use name-brand engines seem to be in the $600 range.

How fast can you go with these things? I would think faster than a moped with the same engine as a bike is actually lighter??

From looking at the claims on their ads, 25 mph is common. There's a guy in my area that has one that mounts above the rear wheel and he seems to go about 20 mph most of the time without any trouble. It may be more a matter of the kit's designed gear reduction than a power limitation.

I have tried getting pulled behind a car with skates on, my feet started to wobble and the wheels were way too small and light to hold me to the ground well at that speed..... I can imagine a similar thing will occur with a bicycle traveling too fast?
