I've always wanted to build a motorized bike, on the cheap.
Just wondering which motor to use. I'd like to find a vintage looking bike and mount it in the frame.
First off, I have a Toro snowblower with a Tecumseh AH600 motor. Specs are 3.5hp and 98cc. In the snowblower, its got a v-belt pulley.
Second choice, is a 1960 something homelite super xl automatic chainsaw motor, 58cc, 3.3hp @ 7800rpm, 10,500rpm max. Centrifugal clutch. Magnesium die cast construction. 32:1 mix.
What would be a better choice?
The tecumseh motor would look cooler, just not sure how to get a clutch and chain setup on it.
chainsaw already has a clutch, and ive seen someone on here grind the teeth off to fit a standard chain.
Now can I just run the chain right off the chainsaw onto like a 10 speed bike?
