My bike is currently accumulating rust.
I stopped the project, because it became more expensive, and less reliable than a scooter. Gas mileage is similar to my ATM50 anyway. The 2 stroke engines have a very low Torque at low RPM, meaning at peak RPM, they could pull a 32T sprocket, but you have to pedal the heck out of them, in order to just be able to maintain 15MPH! The torque is not high enough to overcome 15MPH with a 32T sprocket, but should you somehow miraculously get the bike to 35+ MPH, I suppose that the engine torque will be higher, and maintain a speed of ~40MPH. 36T is really the smallest I'd go on these engines, should you still want to be able to accelerate somewhat! |
