Seems like a wonderful idea. I wouldn’t put this thing on a bike that didn’t cost at least $1000 new.

i put mag rims on it with a caliper brake actually. burns through a pad in about an hour of city ride time but is safe. i am concerned, however, about the frame's durability. not pictured is front rotor and caliper.

I’ve also pulled the baffle so it’s loud as hell.

I ride it on bike paths with impunity.

Yea, scooters suck.
Mokicks are way better, they ride better, are usualy faster, easier to maintain and have a lot more tuning potential if one is so inclined.

in australia they're legal under 50cc and the frame must not have been modified i.e. drilled out to mount chain tensioner and i believe that the uk is the same

Here's my scooter, 1984 Honda Spree. Got it for $300 and I like it way more than those Chinese motorized bike kits. 50cc. Seriously so fucking fun to ride, and damn near indestructible. Starts right up every single time. But unfortunately it does require a license and all that BS in my state.

1.6kw motor from 48v @ 33.333~amps, I forgot the Ah rating of the batteries but they weren't good. The throttle couldn't handle the amps and burned out so I ditched the project

about 3-4 hundred on the motor and controller kit and $200 on the batteries and high amp wires and charger, it wasn't too expensive since it's lead acid batteries but still much more than simple engine kits. Lithium is MUCH better but comes with the cost of a battery management system

jeepers yeah man for that price there's better ways to go fast imo. i spent 180 on my engine kit and another 160 on my tires and wheels. although electric has better torque, it just isn't there for me. they certainly are cool and as far as actual transportation goes far more reliable than gas. i have to fiddle fuck around with my carb and clean my exhaust, breaking the motor in with 16:1 gas oil leaves so much build up its silly and the vibration rattled off my front axle nut.

on two wheels, I prefer proper suicycles, I had a few vintage motorcycles from 125-650cc so the electric bike was an experiment. It wasn't fast but it had stupid torque, I'd want a proper emotorcycle one day to experience face ripping torque. I rode a few scooters and small engine bicycles, they're fun but proper motorcycles are more stable at speed.

Shit's not so expensive if you use lead acid like this mad lad instead of lithium. Shitty range/power/recharge cycles but that anon did it pretty alright.
Also I'm pretty sure the lightest rain might short circuit that and cause it to explode

Bump. I need a kickstand.
I gave up on fixing my wobbly rear wheel. I'll ride it until it fails miserably.
It runs good. I am thinking of going for a more torque ratio. I've been on the same tank of gas. These bikes do get 100 mpg no doubt about it.
If I had known that this engine was just a predator, I wouldn't have spent the amount I had on the kit ~$250

So much less hassle, way more cleaner, quieter, mechanically simpler and aesthetic.
