Not much difference at all just a little bit of drag. I have pedaled my bike quite a bit without the engine running. Like every time I see a cop....................

I have pedaled home 8 miles with no problem and I'm not a regular bicyclist.

I ran out of gas 100ft from my home just an hour ago. Doing some more test rides.

I think a major issue is my air filter is dirty. I need to clean it.

bummer.

Need fuel guages and bigger tanks on these things.

I have an idea for a larger gas tank, but I can't do anything about it seeing as I don't even have a motor yet

ok yeah it's really not that hard to pedal. Almost feels like you're up a gear or two higher than you should be.
