Allows you to truth: Gas is too damn expensive. When gas hit $ 4.00 a gallon in my town, I decided it was time I did something. No, I could not get gas prices down, at least not directly. However, only one thing I could do, decline in demand through the surrender was a large part of it. I thought, "I would have a much cheaper way to see the city." I decided I wanted a Vespa!
But after a quick check of the price, I no longer wanted a Vespa. At least not if I wantedpay up to a few thousand dollars for this. New plan. It was time to break my old bike. I started running very short for my travels. However, I forgot how to drive a lot of hard work, especially if the hills are involved. Do not get me wrong, I love my bike, but I wish I could do a little 'easier on the legs, and so allow me to travel long distances. It was then that I had the idea of having put a small motor on the bike. I do not want to turn it into a motorcycle oranything, but just to give me a little 'more power and speed to make it easier to use my bicycle as a vehicle for daily commuting.
I did some online research for methods and kit for motorcycles with engines smaller retrofit. A company called Eagle Bike Engines Gold seems to be the best of the best. Order the Cadillac of motorized bicycles. However, it is to purchase their kits run between $ 500 and $ 700 without the bike. That is still out of my budget. But hey, if you can, Make a kit to give is the way to go. Currently, they have outstanding orders for complete kits, until the company can meet the high demand (I think everyone had the same idea, but more money than me), but are still orders for replacement parts. I ordered three different parts, as if I were to replace them on my kit. They never asked what I needed in the case of three parts, and I never said. For someone like me, with a slightly smaller budget, but still a lot of technicalKnow-how, which is definitely the way to go. Here's what I plan: I bought it from his side, only the parts of the kit, I can not see me. These parts are:
Unit 1 Ring
2 Drive Belt
Gear Unit 3
Everything else can be done alone. These parts all together cost me $ 108 with shipping. Also, I had to take a motor. If you or someone you know has an old lawn mowers, leaf blowers, chain saw or other tool with a horizontal pitchCrankshaft of the engine, search dass However, I had my lawn mower for your lawn, so I went to Lowes and picked up a Troy-Bilt 25 cc trimmer for $ 100 (I am also selling the tree left over after having to remove the engine on eBay to cover some costs). So make sure you use the motor has a centrifugal clutch. If you're not sure, test around the end of the string trimmer. If it turns freely and does not feel, turn off the engine, has a pair.
Now Ieverything I need (plus some parts lying around the garage) for this engine to suit my bike. Estimated cost: $ $ 208 Estimated Mileage: 200 mpg (based on estimates GIVE mpg kit).
I will work on this project over the next few days. I'll update my steps along the way so that everyone can follow, and the images as I go. Have a great day.
