Let's face reality: the gas is simply too expensive. When gas reached $ 4.00 a gallon in my town, I decided it was time I did something. No, I could gas prices down, at least not directly. But one thing I could do was reduce demand by not using much. I thought "I must find a more fuel efficient for getting around the city." I decided that I wanted a Vespa!
However, after a quick check on prices and do not want a Vespa. Inless if I have to pay a few thousand dollars for it. Plan. It 'was time to get my old bike. I started doing a lot of my driving for short trips. But I forgot how hard work by bike, especially when it comes to hills. Do not get me wrong, I love cycling, but I want to do a little 'easier on the legs, and then allows me to travel longer distances. Then I had the idea of putting a small motor on the bike. I do not want to converton a motorcycle or anything, but give me a little 'more power and speed to make it easier to use the bicycle as a vehicle for commuting.
I did some research on the internet for methods and kits for equipping bicycles with small engines. A company called Golden Eagle Bike engines seemed to be the best of the best. Order the Cadillac bicycle motor. However, to buy the kits will cost between $ 500 and $ 700, not including the bike. It 'still out of mybudget. But hey, if you can afford a gebe kit is the way forward. Currently, were suspended from all equipment orders until the company can meet the high demand (I think everyone had the same idea, but more money than me), but still commands for spare parts. I ordered three individual parts as if they replaced them on my computer. I never asked what I needed in three parts, at random, and I never told you. For someone like me, with a budget slightly less buta lot of know-how is really the way forward. This is what I plan: I bought the place, the only parts of the kit, I can do myself. These parts are:
1. Drive Ring
2. Strap
3. Gear
Everything else can be done alone. These pieces together all cost me $ 108 with shipping. I also need an engine. If you or someone you know is an old string trimmer, leaf blower or chainsawany other instrument of lawn with a crankshaft horizontal pole, try to use it. However, he needs my string trimmer for the lawn, so I went to Lowes and picked up a Troy-Bilt 25 cc string trimmer, $ 100 (I sold the tree to the left after you remove the engine on eBay to recover certain costs ). Ensure that the motor uses a centrifugal clutch. If you're not sure, try to rotate the end of the string trimmer. If it turns freelyNot hear the engine back, then you're clutch.
Now I have everything I need (plus some parts in the garage) to add this motor to my bike. Total estimated cost: 208 million U.S. dollars. Estimated mileage: 200 miles per gallon (mpg on the basis of estimates gebe kit).
I work on this project for the next two days. I'll update my steps on the road for anyone to continue, and include pictures, as I go. They have a great day.
