Nice sounding rig...what's your ratio and what does this setup cruise at? NIce job too...I'd like to use this motor but I'm not sure I want to spend the $s until I do a prototype with a copy? any advice ?
I love my motor bicycle. It is like a very light motorcycle, and still functions as a bicycle for legal purposes and in case of motor failure. It feels a lot like bicycling normally but I can go more places or ride further in a day. The payload is very nice because I use it like a car sometimes to go to tourist areas or get groceries.
Poke in a little motor, high ratio flat land pedal gearing, and a full fairing, and you could pull about 100Kmh at about 100Km a liter. (60mph at 260 miles per gallon)

That's cool. I have a Miami Sun Trike that I would love to do the same thing, but don't have a clue where to start.

Funny how the motorcycle rider takes your picture and the upright riders pretend you aren't even there! Did any of them return your greeting?

Do you have any engine braking function?

Too bad the car drivers suck and can't just pass you normally (slowing behind or overtaking normally so you can use the lane)

I have a trike like this and would NEVER put a motor on it. It defeats the whole purpose!

@EMHO3 Maybe his purpose is to travel light and save money. Looks like epic win to me!

That's an awesome setup! But do you ever pedal it in combo with the engine?

That's pretty cool. How far up the mountain did you go? You got past Molina Basin, but you didn't show where you turned around at.

And now for the fun - coming back down again. 5000 vertical feet in 10 minutes how powerful is that engine?
