Re: Deacon's Bike I gave it another thought and pulled the clown bike from the throwaway pile of scrap metal. I put the new wheel on but with an old smooth tire. Then i reattached the 300 watt electric motor with the friction drive. I used a different kind of mount though. One that supports the motor from the off side as well as the engine side. I also pulled it down on the tire with the mount not springs. Just as soon as I get a good dry day, (tomorrow they say) I'm going to give it a try.
Even if this works I'm going to need a cover for the knurly drive wheel. It is too small and too rough .lol. I like a much larger wheel but for the trial I'm going to go stock this time. But that wheel will absolutely grind a tire to dust. Still I need to know what is what. |
