I would also like to know how the chain stays on when the rear swingarm moves!

Pretty simple really, since the swing arm pivot is close to the output sprocket on the engine, the chain won't change length as the swing arm moves.

The other option is to use the jackshaft kit to move your drive to the cranks so a more traditional frame setup is possible. Jackshaft kit is not in the attached photo.

Yeah... It will work great; but by doing that, aren't you just turning it into a motorcycle?
The only thing that gets us off the hook with the cops every time we ride, is the fact that we have to pedal them like a bicycle to get going!

Take away the pedals and now you have to have a M1 license & a helmet to ride it.

With the jackshaft you can still pedal. I just took them off that rendering for kicks.

Please... post a pic of a installed jackshaft for us to see, I have a friend who's building a stretch motored cruiser & he's trying to invent something like that!

All we did was raised the swing arm pivit close to the countershaft sprocket,your pedals still can be used without any mod . also we were able to adjust the shock mount to keep the axel location in the stock place.Adding a jackshaft would just be complicating things.
