I am looking to build my first motorized mountain bike, but I lack one major thing. The knowledge!
I have done some researching online to see what the best engine is, what the best bike to use is, etc. and all of them say different things. After further research I found this site several times and I figured that I could post here to see if someone could help me out. I have just over $1,000 to help me out on this project (I hope this is enough to afford one) and I was also hoping to post images and a video or two of the final creation and while it is being worked on.
I do not currently own a bicycle, had to get rid of it years ago, but I do have some money to afford a decent one. If someone could refer me to a decent mountain bike if possible it would be much appreciated. No beach cruisers please ;p
I was also looking at 50cc 4 stroke engine kits. The reviews on them show that they run just a little better than the 2 strokes. I was also looking at this nice stinger setup that didn't need to be pull started. It had a clutch on it and a kill switch (to bad it was a 2 cycle)
Another thing about the engines is the type of belt it uses. Is it better to get a belt or a chain?
I can easily assemble the kit to the bike, I just lack the knowledge of which bikes are good with which kits. I don't want top of the line expensive, just something that looks decent and I don't have to worry about breaking every time I ride it.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
