looks like homeboy had to be engineering major...lol. He did what many kits are built to achieve, a small "helping" motor...more power to him, atleast it's not a hummer :D

Yes, we definately need a video of it running! I've seen the ones that go on a rear wheel, but this home-made job takes the cake.

PWRDbyTRD 04-28-05 03:53 PM

that's uber pimp...not to mention how it's all wheel drive :D He pedals the back wheel and the engine moves the front one :D yay...

Yeah as much as a 4door geo metro with spinner hubcaps.

I saw 17" spinners on a 2002 Chrylser Town and Country Minivan two weeks ago. Repent for surely this is a sign the end is near! :eek:

If that's a two-stroke engine, it probably puts out as much pollution as a Hummer... :eek:

BostonFixed 04-28-05 05:13 PM

Wow! Front wheel drive? That thing must turn like a mutha!

skanking biker 04-28-05 05:23 PM

he should attach a string from the rear hub to the baby's noodie so he can get that extra oomph on the hills.

cabana4life 04-28-05 06:53 PM

Jeff Foxworthy: If anybody in your family ever died immediately after saying, "Hey, y'all watch this!" You might be a redneck.

Honestly, I thought it was a joke picture. I had no idea someone would be that crazy.

What's with the child seat?

cabana 4 life 04-28-05 08:29 PM

I've never understood the concept of putting motors on bikes. If you want a motorized bike buy a Vespa.

Heck, anyone can do that; where's the challenge? Besides, you priced a Vespa lately?

TrekDen 04-28-05 09:28 PM

Great video man! That thing kicks butt! I like the comments from the guys on the side.

Loud, probably DOES pollute as much as a Hummer, and smells bad unless you like the smell of racing castor.

Yeah, just get a Vespa - a 4-stroke one.

shabbasuraj 04-29-05 02:39 AM

I say rig one up for a recumbant...

vintage...

Thats what makes it so crackin'.
Racing castor is a smell I like much better than the synthetic 2 stroke lubes.

pollution wise there is quality- percents of pollutants whitch has little to do with fuel consumption or power, and then there is quantity- volume of exhaust which directly follows fuel consumption.

SpiderMike 04-29-05 08:28 AM

Priceless video. A Harley creedo kept going through my head.... "Loud Pipes Save Lives".

I did a search to see if this was based of off some plans and found this http://www.bikemotor.com/
