Hello. I have a 49cc four stroke huasheng. For the sake of simplicity I've been entertaining the thought of converting my multi speed motorized bicycle to a single speed. Less wires l/ components/ less parts to fail-overall. Would there be a problem if I was to do this? Would the motor and everything still run smoothly? Would everything be balanced and stabilized? Or better yet, would I encounter any problems overall?

I've converted the other way since sometimes you really want gears. Going to single should be about the same. I had to stretch the width of rear dropouts, so you'd need to squeeze them in. I had to file sprockets to take the thinner chain, but you'd have no problem going the other way (in fact, if you have an old 415 chain around, it would work). Your rear dropouts might make getting pedal chain tight a bit of a hassle, but 1/2 link should help there, or a second tensioner on that side.

Try just taking off the multi speed cassette and putting on a single sprocket, unless you want a coaster brake.
Thanks for the response. What kind of bicycle/ motored bicycle repair tool kit would y'all recommend? Is this one overkill? If not will it cover all bases?
