Tell me when you can get up to 55 mph on your bicycle, and ride it for 30+ miles like that. And no, you can't use one of these.
I've got a 49cc motorized bicycle still hanging in the garage. Just got to cut some slots in the new shorter jackshaft and it should be good to go. I even have tall gearing on it, 25 mph is likely around 3000 rpm in 7th gear. That thing should go around 30mph on flat ground, I have hit what felt like 40mph going downhill with that same engine in a different bike though. Haven't ridden it in years, so I need to do something with it.
