There's a good reason why you don't find 2-strokes in cars anymore : they don't meet any emission standards.
That you can still find them in an ever-decreasing number of motorcycles, is only because their emission standards are still below those of cars.

So ...

What's the point in getting great mpg if you're burning those gallons in the most highly polluting kind of ICE ?

What's the point in taking an environmentally friendly means of transport like a bicycle, and then turning it into yet another smoky polluter ?


If you really have to add an engine to your bike, make it an electrical one and get yourself hooked up to a provider of green / sustainable electricity.
