My new ride - BruceEdwards - 01-13-2008
I just finished designing my new custom stretch motorized bike. It will have a 70cc 2 stroke motor and will do about 30 mph while getting 150 mpg. I have a 15 mile ride to work and thought this would be a lot faster and more fun than the public transportation. It will be an electric blue and chrome. What do you guys think?

It's gonna have a 3 speed freewheeling rear hub and a V-brake in the rear. I'm gonna add a headlight and a couple round leather motorcycle tool pouches also. The rear tire is 3" x 24" and the front is 2 1/4" x 26". I'm also trying to have a shock suspension in the front.

Isint that illegal to drive without the right stuff like a license and all?? Its a cool idea tho, i know this kid that has a mountain bike w/ a motor and stuff, its pretty cool.
My new ride - BruceEdwards - 01-13-2008
No, it's not illegal if it's under 50cc's. Yeah, mine will be 70cc's but I have a 48cc badge on the engine. ;-)

Cool idea.

So you got signals, lights, mirrors? Just sayin cause around here cops a pretty damn strict

Looks heavy and with those big tires Id hope you never have to pedal.LOL
I would also see if you could get a rear fender. You would get to work looking like you let loose a few wet ones.
If you get away with riding that down LSD im bringing my little KLX. Ill have Fastlane FX print some 40cc stickers.
But something tells me youll have every quad cop in the city chasing you.

2 cops came to my house when i was riding a little pit bike, so that thing will attract a lot of attention, it would be fun to mess around with tho.

it has to have a vin number and registration papers to be street legal

Put some bodywork to cover the engine, and real good muffler and you could go covert. If you see a cop, hit the kill switch and start peddling.
LONG ago they used to make a small drive unit that friction drove the front tire from above. That would be very simple to employ as well.
The long double chain would worry me, but then again, going 30mph in Chicago in January on a bike is worrysome enough.
And I would paint it black with red flames, blue pins.

Well I guess its a step up from having your amazing tnt os motor pull you around in your wagon

JFWY bruce lol

Bruce-
Serious Question. After having design and build costs wouldnt it be cheaper to just buy a vespa? I know they dont get 150mpg but wouldnt it be cheaper and more reliable?

JK man! Looks sweet. Did you do the sketch? Nice job. I think that chain looks real long. Do you think it would jump the sprocket?
My new ride - rocco79 - 01-14-2008

Mich you know better about the language. Grow up man, let it go already.

Maybe Bruce just likes to make stuff? Who cares if its practical. but I think this might be. for short trips around town or something.
