Fun and practical
I've recently completed a new project. It gets apx. 60-80 mpg. I will verify things later. It is a 20" motorized bicycle. Top speed on a flat is 30 mph exactly. Downhill it has topped out at 38mph. It rides 2-up and weighs 62 lbs. without the luggage baskets. It is very off-road capable and can climb steep hills. The limitation is traction in mud and dirt.
OK, it's not really completed. I've just removed the engine to modify the mounts after finding cracks. All in all, we've rode over 100 miles and burned almost 2 gallons of gas/oil mix. I used it all week to do chores and go fishing.
