 Re: Eliminating the driven sprocket
HI Ghost,
I have no idea what a front freewheel system would run but.... if you use the Nuvinci (or possibly another internal geared hub with minor modification) you can run WITHOUT the need for the front freewheel system....I think Staton makes a dual freewheel sprocket for the rear where by the rider pedals on one freewheel and the engine sprocket drives the other freewheel....sinve both sprockets are freewheels (single speed units) the engine can power the bike without turning the pedals YET both the rider and the engine can benefit from the gearing offered by the internal gearing hub (engine starting is not a problem either)....That is the way I would have gone to obtain gearing BUT I didn't have a good Jackshaft system figured out (appears you have a good one tough!)...
The above is just a thought....I'd LOVE to see multiple speed gearing no matter how we get it!!....I have a certain scooter I'd love in mind I'd love to smoke! HA ;-)
