Hi everyone, i'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I wish I could post on other threads before starting a new one, but I don't know much and I don't have any experience building a motorized bicycle.
I was hoping that someone could lay out and explain some of the finer details of building a motorized bike for me. I've been trying to do research and learn how to build a bike but some things are pretty confusing to me. (aka. gear ratios, gearbox reducers, etc.)
I was planning on taking an old bike and slapping an engine into the middle or behind the seat, attaching a large sprocket to the motor and running a bike chain from that sprocket to the rear wheel sprocket. (also large) The way I saw it was that more teeth gives more horsepower, but I really don't know. Can anyone clear things up for me? Thanks in advance!
