Hey guys, I haven't even gotten the kit for my bike yet, and I am already contemplating a second one. I have a Bolens weedeater that the motor runs well on, but the trimmer shaft is broken. Since I have replaced it with another weed whacker already, I am going to take the motor and either make a cheapo outboard out of it or perhaps another motorized bike and do most of it from scratch. Any of you guys done that with one of these? Think it is 33cc. Thanks.

pino.

Your best bet is probably to mount the Bolens as a rear friction engine. There are plenty of friction drive builds in the DIY non-kit sub-forum .
