Hey,
I'm kinda new to this whole scene so I apologize if I dont know what I'm talking about =). I've decided that I want/need transportation that makes more sense than driving of cycling so I stumbled upon this forum. To start off, I have absolutely no mechanical experience or education and the only tools I have are various wrenches, a hammer, duct tape, and some WD-40. That said, I've pretty much decided that I want to install a 4-stroke motor on one of the various steel clunkers that I can get from my friends.
I'm not going to do much heavy riding, just day-to-day commuting in the city. I'm choosing 4-stroke because from what i've heard, its fairly low maintenance and more reliable. However, I have absolutely no idea how to install all the necessary contraptions to make my ride move. I'm willing to watch a few videos to get a general understanding about the general mechanics. Does anyone know where I can find a COMPREHENSIVE guide on how to make on of these? Also, can anyone recommend me a kit that is cheap yet reliable and fairly simple to install?
Your help is MUCH APPRECIATED!
