homemade moped, front wheel drive motorbike

4 hp, 40 mph, 120 mpg. Front end feels heavy til the second you start rolling. Very slight tendency to center the handlebar if accelerating in a curve; noticeable but not a problem. No other handling traits noted. The weight & power of the engine are applied to the heavy duty wheel, not significantly to the bicycle's frame.
Also see engine powered bicycle trailer, sailbike and motor skater engine powered trailer. Curious? contact denbecr@hughes.net

My son who drove it for this video is now 30 years old. He was about 10 or 12 in the video. It hasn't fallen apart yet.

I am building your front wheel setup with a harborfreight 2 1/2 hp engine, and a schwin adult trike. I think it will make a good combination. I will post video of it as I work on it. Thank u for the nice idea :)
