i know that people around here ride the smaller cc bikes and are always replacing rear rims because the drive sprocket runs off of the spokes that were never made to have torque on them ... if i were going to build one i would mount the engine over the rear tire and make/buy a unit that drives off of the rear tire, not the spokes

Friction drive with a 212cc is not a good idea. It will make your tire bald very quick and when it gets wet it slips. You want to drive it with a jack shaft and a strong sprocket.

sprocket is not the problem, it is what the sprocket goes on

The sprocket goes on a disk brake hub. Use a sprocket instead of or with the disk. My setup uses a adapter I made to use with a disk and a one way sprocket so the pedals dont spin when your riding. One side of the hub you peddle with. The other drives the wheel.

I've ridden a few mainly the 66cc marketed as 80cc but a few bigger. Unless you do some serious stuff to them like Merlin has they are supper sketchy scary. The tires / rims and brakes seem to make the most difference but having a good suspension and drive train would be a big plus. I knew one nut who put one on a fixed gear. It did not last long.

How hard do you think it would be to get rid of the pedals all together?

A lot of people are building bikes with the 212cc engine over there. There is thread of mine somewhere over there that shows my build. oldtimer54 is the nic on that site.

I am thinking I am going to stick with the 250, may have to scrounge for some stuff.... i.e. A transmission and some sort of engine:P JohnDoe on there as well.... I will look into your thread.

That would be kind of fun putting one of those bikes together. I would possibly try it if I wasn't on a steep hill with a highway to ride on to town.
In other words if I was in town I definitely would. |
