hi everyone,
ive been on this forum for a while but i havent posted here since i built electrics more than anything. but now that ive just built a gasser, i want to share what ive done:
i started with this 20" mountain bike which i dont really ride.
here is my power plant that im using. its a Cag 47cc motor.
so the building started:
i made the sprocket by hand since i couldnt find a 100 tooth #25 sprocket anywhere online at scooter or bike parts store.
here is the finished sprocket. not bad for being a piece of scrap steel and cut out with a dremel.
i had to make a motor mount. it couldnt fit in the frame, so i had to mount it on a rack.
some gold paint since i didnt like millscale of the angle iron i made the mount of.
the sprocket and motor together on the bike to check for chain alignment.
all together ready for a ride.
i took it out today for its maiden voyage and its pretty quick.its only geared for 30 mph, due to the fact that i like to have more acceleration than anything. but i got it up to 27 mph because i need to play with the carb a bit. ill try to get a video of it in action in the next week.
