Did anybody else notice

On the weedeater I got it up and going but I haven't been able to test ride it much. Before I get out of the drive something happens. I am having the most trouble right now with the clutch.the cable isn't behaving it keeps pulling loose. If it does it again tomorrow I have a trick or two up my sleeve.

I am learning enough to know what the next version will look like, I think. I need to ride this one to be sure about this kind of drive system before I move on. If I can do fifteen miles and hour on the flats and only pedal a little bit to go up hill, I might switch to the weed wacker. At least the motors wont double in price, since no one in their right mind would want one.

Yea I did. It's costin' the little guys more to fill up thier rickshaws and Gremlins
these days. Not to mention the poor dudes rowin' the boats that bring the stuff over here for us to play with. When I get some extra coins together
I am going to build an American bike. I will take a Schwinn trike put a G.E. garbage disposal motor on it, Run a chain drive to it, mount a Honda Genny (made in USA) in the little basket on the back to provide 110 V to the motor, put a *hit load of them plastic flowers around the basket so the COPS can't see a thing, and sell gas to the nice prople that can't read a gas gauge in thier 40 thousand $$ Jap. Car, for only $6.00 a gallon. If they complain I'll tell
em I work for Microso*t!

Hmm. Maybe I oughta just borrow the money from my son for the 2 kits I'd like to buy. He's been working enough overtime and can pay him back when I sell my scoooter. Yeah, that'll work pretty good. Thanks guys.

Well when I find the right bike and get enough time, I'll have the china girl bike, the ebike, and I hope the weed eater since I have it about figured out. That's it for bikes and me.


The ebike is fun but not even practical for short trips since it doesn't have even five miles of range for some reason. The weed whacker is the way to go for friction drive I think.

I noticed one seller was getting more for some of his motors on eBay than he asks for on his website !

I got a super deal from a dealer on an ebike kit by reading and hanging out on this forum !

I have seen that many times!
I buy via ebay.
