I'm in the middle of building a motor bike, but not from a kit.
To sum it up, I have a standard 26" mountain bike with a home made chopper form on the front and a 20" wheel on the front, the bike rides nice and handle great.
I can go two ways with the project, I have a wrecked Pocket Rocket(bent front for/tire) that was given to me, I can mount the engine on the chopper for and have a chain drive to the front tire, leaving the stock pedal system intact.
Or I could buy an electric motor and bolt it to the chopper fork.
Electric will be more of a pain due to battery weight
Which one would be better for Iowa? I'm only planning to go 35Mph or close to it.
Another possibility would be to make a trainer for the bike and rocket engine?
