HI all
getting tired of this wild gas price, bet my truck takes 10 mile gallon. I only drive 4.5 mile to work. time to put out the bike? am looking at an engine to put on my bike, yeah I have hills that would bet me. am in Omaha Nebraska. any one from Nebraska?

any thoughts what kind engine would I want buy? am over 200lb but not OVER 250.......!

what think of this engine? Bad Boy 80cc. any thing better?
if you need know kind bike I have I will find that out.

steve

welcome to the forum. what you want is a motor from a dealer that will take care of you. i am not sure about bad boy however i know dax has been taking good care of people. my understanding is the 48 cc was made for speed however the 70 cc is made for pull and strength and like you i am not as light as i would like to be so the 70 cc works real well for me. i ride myt motorized bicycle to and from work everyday and i went from filling my pickup a few times a week to once every 2 weeks. they pay for themselfs fast. glad to have you with us and hope you don't mind but i moved your post to introductions area.

Hey Steve, welcome to the forum. Thats a nice Trek. I have a friend that has one that looks very similar. I've thought many times that would be a great bike to put a motorized bicycle engine on. I bet it will bolt right on with very little modifying. Lots of people more than willing to help if you get in a jam. Have fun and happy building...........................

What engine is better 70cc with 2 strokes or the 50cc with 4 strokes?

Is't the 4 strokes faster or the 2 strokes stronger?
