KCvale
In memory of KCvale 1959 - 2019
Hehe, I know the feeling, we build a couple 2-stroke shifters every month and though they usually start right up, it does get exhausting if they don't.I counter, I'm not 15 any more. Just getting the motor started with the shift kit, I'm ready to go back home.
Yep, that is going to be an obstacle and I have no solutions to offer.If I use a S large enough that its only good for starting the motor and high speed use, when I shift on the right side the wheel speed will eventually catch the motor RPM and limiting low RPM use.
That I believe would be building a motorized circle made of chains. Also known as a chain saw. Not a pretty thought on a bicycle.
Actually that is not as hard as it sounds.I'd like the ease of bump start combined with the hill climbing ability of gears. But I'm also looking to stay in one piece and keep the skin I've regrown... ;-)
The only other thing I can think of (other than pull start) is to add an electric starter and really make people scratch their heads...
You tie the electric motor to the JS to start the 2-stroke.
Still hard and heavier than your solution but they add virtually no resistance when not in use.
Good luck with it Peace.
