Kinda curious to see how this works out. I had intended to convert one of my bikes to have one of these set ups long ago and ended up selling the bike before i could. Still kinda want to build one or do an Ebike conversion.

I would have gone with an electric bike but I'll be using it in remote areas with no way to charge it.

The bike is done with the exception of a good quality chain on order. Mounting an engine on a bicycle is always a bit iffy but it works if done right. I'll post a pic when I have time. In addition to the $160 kit I bought a $33 Regina chain and a $50 CNC hub adaptor to replace the "rag joint" sprocket mount that came with the kit.

Nibbi PE30. "Open box" on eBay, like $30 cheaper than anywhere else. Looks new to me.

I wish they'd been around when my kids were little. I'd have worn it and greeted them everyday at the bus stop after school.

On the other hand, I've probably saved thousands in therapy for them by not having one.

Didn't buy, but I now have a second MIG welder. My brother bought a larger unit and gave this one to our Dad. Even though Dad has been given the okay to use a small unit with his Pacemaker, he has opted for 'Discretion' and passed it on to me. I'm not sure of the brand but my brother doesn't buy cheap stuff.
