Hi Kr, a lot of guys want elect. for light power.
Very difficult to do on the china 2 stroke kit.
You probably would not hear it much anyway, between the wind and the engine.
I am in W.Seneca. Waiting out the winter. 2 months to go.

Here is my deal- my son had a china kit on a bike when I was over there last spring. I thought it was fantastic. His neighbor bought it from him- rides it around North Tonawanda. I told Matt it wasn't legal and he said, the mayor hasn't been bothered. Of course, I said- he's the mayor. Matt said, Dad, he is the mayor of the street - we call him the mayor- Not the mayor of the town.....
Anyway, I joined this site last fall after doing a search.
I made an e-bike out of scooter parts. and experimented with a gas/electric drive on it. I understand electric is now legal in NY. I am finishing up another bike with gas/electric drive (hybred). This will be legal but toally covert!
So if it were me, and I wanted a gas bike and no hassle, I would buy a defunct moped and take the tags off it and my bike would become a moped with those tags and I would register it. Otherwise, you need to be real undercover.- no exposed gas parts- my opinion. There are a couple of guys on these forums in NY who ride gas bikes.

I had a gas bike for a week and when I had it I never had a problem because I was extra careful.I was stopped once by a buffalo cop and that was while peddaling because he wanted to know how I did it and if he could get one. Now after I sold it they had it for 2 days and blew by police with it and then ran.idiots... my only concern is noise because if it were quiet I wouldn't have a problem(kind of defeats the purpose of having speakers).
You could hook up a radio,it would have to be around 6v 3w 0.5amps and i dont know what size or kind of radio that would be.
Yep, stunts like you describe wreck it for everyone.
How was the noise level on the one you had?
I have no experience with the kits at all. They can be made quieter- there are posts here on silencing the intake and gear noise.
I want to look like just another bicyclist - helmet- safety vest, moving feet and NOT fast. And quiet. Did I mention quiet?
