Motorized tandem bicycle

I am a new member and would like to share my second build. I mounted the engine in the back v first but this was to close to my passenger (wife) for comfort. I moved it to a midengine position using custom motor mounts welded for me by Bob's Muffler Shop! I also had to refashion the intake because the carb wouldn't fit.

Thanks,

Hi Larry,

My wife and I have owned three tandems over the past 25 years. You've done a fine job on it. How many teeth on the rear spoket? Does it run hot with two up?

Good job
