Default Re: somebody build me

I never even considered that it might run backwards. Now wouldn't that be neat for a friction drive kit. just an alum channel with a hole drilled straight though Probably have to weld the drive wheel on after it was inside the channel. or maybe not I don't have enough experience with these things to know.

how about a long bolt inserted through the pedal side, through a bushing, then through the friction drive wheel, then through the channel then double bolt a sprocket on loose enough to move inside the bushing.

Or just drill and put a pin through the drive wheel to hold it. That is if the motor would run backwards. I might be able to buy all the parts off the shelf.
