Homemade Moped

Side Note: This design may illustrate interesting possibilities of adapting a bicycle with a motor assist. Perhaps this moped design can be adapted with an electric motor. Or perhaps the motor could be powered by a diesel engine running on biodiesel or straight vegetable oil. And perhaps the design may also allows for a large cargo rack above the front wheel and engine.
Include your comments other these possibilities and others that you may think of.

Nice construction. Though I think it will need better brakes.

[upcycle]

any thoughts on what kind of brakes would be appropriate?

[junkb0x99]

That is clever! And it's still a bicycle if you do happen to run out of gas.

[upcycle]

yes. and interestingly it may be possible to fabricate a cargo carrying shelf aboe the motor for carrying more stuff.

[NewPyroLabs]

you should put a CVT (tourque converter) from the engine to the wheel. that should greatly increase the top speed and efficiency

Yeah buddy!!! A German looking kid with Coke bottle glasses and a helmet from the 1970s. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!! This kid just might solve the energy crisis!!!

Hmm... you could use a "U" or "V" brake. Disc brake would work even better but it is more expensive. Driving style is important too(anticipate stops and try to avoid hard stops if possible). I use a combination of coaster and "U" brakes on my bike(doesn't do well with hard stops and skids).
