hey guys, I'm starting on a new project. I'm making a motorized giant stiletto. with the jackshaft it comes with (which is really just a bottom bracket with gears on it), It seems like it is going to be a nice and simple project. The problem is finding the right engine for it. I'm willing to spend up to about $200 on it, probably used. I will be using it for regular transportation in the hills of WV, so I'm thinking towards reliability and an ability to climb hills reasonably. I found what I really want, a Yamaha ysr50 engine (or rx 50 engine..same thing). It is a 49.3cc 2 stroke with a 5 speed transmission. I think adding an engine with a transmission will be best, and It'll probably have a jockey shift. Fun right!! Problem is their hard to come by for my budget. any ideas for any similar engines I could use instead, or something better?
just remember, it can't be more that 50ish cc's because I'm not plating it and thats the legal limit around here.
