I was just curious as to how many motorized bikes people tend to own, especially when the build a bike bug bites you? So how many MB's do you own? And why if you feel like explaining?
That's my situation. I ride my Diamondback w/2.8 hp Tanaka 47R and shift kit.Only 2 here atm. But, Like a wise man once said; "there's one you work on, one you ride, and your next build in planning" -Dan

My 2006 Whizzer w/Ambassador disc brake fork is being worked on.
In the planning stage is my new Kona 29er with twin 4.25 hp GP460 engines.
I'm pretty sure that me having more than one MB, with our lack of garage and pitifully small shed, would be cause for much heated discussion between me and my wife.
But, ya know, she happens to own an old Schwinn fat-tire springer-fork cruiser herself. And I did promise to restore hers. I have a feeling she suspects I have designs on motorizing it for her. I'll need to dig through the site for pics on how to safely motorize a woman's bike. I wonder if I could track down an old Bike Bug? Hmmm...

The Mitsubishi 43cc is a great little powerplant, there used to be a few nice upgrades for them back when scooters were popular. That was one motor that seemed to benefit nicely using a boost bottle, along with an HP carb, a tuned pipe and a rocket key to advance the timing.I motorized a woman's bike. First, I electrified it and got her to 27mph.
Then I installed a Mits TLE43 engine and got her to 32mph.
Then I installed ANOTHER TLE43 engine up front and got the bike up to 39mph.
