NEW here. thinking of put on engine on bike

from what i am hearing people are really liking their 4 stroke bicycle motors. i am going to get one and see how i like it. i know i do not like having to mix the gas and it will be nice just to pull into the gas station and fill ir up

So, the 4 stroke motor takes gas, what about oil?

Does the 70cc 2 stroke take gas-oil mix?

4 stroke = Oil in the crankcase. Use a good small engine formula.

Yes fuel-oil mix in the 2-stroke.

I'm the sicko that actually enjoys premixing!

I don't know much about the difference but the dealers who are carrying the four stroke are pushing them pretty hard. either they are better or just more profitable.

Welcome steve to the forum, glad to have you with us. The guy's I know say they like the torque of a 4-stroke vs the 2-stroke.

I like the 2 stroke. That's just me they sound way better, and have less moving parts to break, 2 stroke is lighter I think. Cosmetically looks better, handles better because of the fact 4 stroke goes on rack in back and you could keep your little back pack thing back there. If you do get the two stroke I would encourage you to go ahead and get the lever that pulls both breaks at the same time. That bike is a good candidate to get motored. I think you could easily do the instalation, if you took your time and made sure you did everything right. We can help.

I also like ThatsDax.com because of the quality product and the support. I have purchased two from him. I have always gotten the 70cc.

By the way are you 7' tall or what?

There are 4 strokes in the frame- I have one. It works well, but was work to get that way- I posted more info on this in Steve's topic about choosing an engine.

What is the weight difference do you know?

I don't know what a 2 stroke weighs- my Honda 4 stroke weighs 12 lbs, add the gearbox and mounting plate- a few more.
