thread hijack? haha. this idea started because i rode my bike to work most days in the summer. Its about 20 miles round trip. I average about 26-28 mph driving there and back on back roads, and I would ride around 17-18 mph average to avoid sweating(on a very efficient bike). I figure a bike with a small motor would easily average 25 mph, and get many times more gas mileage than using a 2000 lb car just to drive a single person to work and back. The key is just making it all work, and reliable. the gearing and riding position are still my biggest concerns. I have a spare weedeater that im going to take apart for now just to get to work. def will be replaced with a mini 4 stroke in the future. Ive also secured a steel bike frame to use(weldable)
