Shift Kit + Nuvinci = (Grin)

Wow,

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your desktop honors me Radmanfly! Thank you very much.

I think you can definitely cross the Nuvinci off the list. It works extremely well.

I really like your machine Ghost0 too. In fact my next project will be much like it. As it turns out I already have most of the parts. The Shift kit I purchased for the green bike is going to be used on it instead.

Andy, Top speed on this setup atm on a flat road is about 47kmh. The engine is basically stock. I have ported the intake and exhaust and that’s about it. Now that gearing isn't the limiting factor any increases in hp will directly increase top speed.

UncleKudzu, I’m sorry to have to inform you that the tank does indeed hold fuel. I am very pleased with how that worked out. It is properly sealed and I am confident that it will maintain its integrity.

Dang, that's a nice setup there. I was wondering how long it would be before someone used a nuvinci with the shifter kit.

It's actually a little disappointing that you have to back off the throttle to "shift." I figured you could just roll on the throttle and gradually adjust the ratio on the nuvinci. Oh well.

I think I read somewhere that the nuvinci can handle like 95 lbs of torque or so...considering our motors don't put nearly that amount to the ground, I think it'll be ok.

Now someone just needs your setup with a Morini motor *cough*Easy*cough* ...

How did you get a disc mount on to the frame?

The rear disc was accomplished with the help of this piece. Disc Brake Bracket Billet - Choppers U.S., LLC

It seems to work just fine.

Love this bike. The gears that are available with this system are just the way you need them. Like you say start up and climbing are so much easier. Top end is not winding it out but in the power band so the motor should last 10 times longer with this set up.

That looks like just the ticket! I am sure it works just fine. Thanks for the tip.

Are you able to start out without pedaling?

The Sick Bike Parts Shift-Kit incorporates a front freewheel. This prevents any bump starting so yes you do have to pedal to start it. The nice thing that the Nuvinci hub adds is that the lowest gear setting is so low that most of the energy you use to fire the engine goes into starting the bike instead of moving it forward. This makes starting easier.

Integral gas tank, NO visible cables, pretty lines. Front drum brake, rear Nu Vinci hub with a sick bike parts kit.

Honestly I would have bought staton kit! And spent about the same.

you could do that, but then your bike would not look near as cool as this 1
this bike is so cool, it is now my screen saver, I only wish there were more pics of it for that folder but I am happy with the five I have.
