new 3.5hp 4-stroke motorized bicycle start-up!

3.5hp tecumseh of a craftsman edger/ trimmer, not really the right motor for this application, but it did work (for a few minutes), the spindle had too much pressure and snapped the bolt. $40 to make total, i ended up taking it apart and putting the edger back together the next day.

thats pretty cool how do you make one just take the engine and mount it right?

[GSRGOPEDRIDER247]

@pugdug808 pretty much, mount your spindle to the crankshaft, and then mount up the motor to the frame.

[GSRGOPEDRIDER247]

@6013welder i will as soon as it get's the spindle put back on.

[6013welder]

@GSRGOPEDRIDER247 can you drag start it or no

[GSRGOPEDRIDER247]

@6013welder i'm not going to paint it or anything, i may put on a throttle and grips, plus a kill switch... i'm not sure yet. i haven't tried to bump start it yet, the bike, motor and everything weighs alot...

nice! my first engine bike used that same design, i made my own spindle with spikes though., you should try to incorporate a clutch, with mine the entire engine was on a pivot and a spring so the spindle didnt touch the tire, i then made a back rest that my back pushed against and would engage the engine. it was simple but it allowed be to come to a stop with the engine running.
