I have long thought to put this up here.
You are or are thinking of going biking on a motored bike. That means you plan to ride a bicycle, made for pedaling, even if a high priced MTB, powered by a gas or electric power plant.
The motor will take you and the bike to speeds exceeding 15 mph, generally, on a bicycle made to travel at much lower average speed.
Consider the stress on the bicycle's components and what it will take to stop you and your bike at speed...going faster is one thing, stopping fast is quite another. When necessary to stop fast, nothing else comes in to play but stopping.
Think about it.
So, with all the possible problems inherent with a motored bike, problems that could harm you and others, why do some people consider and actually buy cheap bicycles offered by big-box sellers for use with a motor?
You ever wonder why (some goofy) regulations and laws come to be written?
Think about it, before you do it.
If you decide to motor a bike, use your brains and do it sensibly.
