To the comment about there being "a vast array of laws all over the board in most states", not actually so. We've compiling a data base of Moped and motorized bicycle regs in the US that is showing a majority of states have a uniformity of compliance with under 50cc and 2 HP. CT is one of the notable exceptions at 5 HP........for the time being anyway.seeings how theres a vast array of laws all over the board in most states, you can expect the bikes to be different.
Your legal may not be the next guys....doesnt make them fake anything....just not like everyones.
here in CT anything with a seat height of 26" and 5hp and under is legal...you wanna pedal up hills........feel free
No thanks I'm good, been around these parts for 4 1/2 years with no problems and been motorizing bikes far longer than that. How long have you been around? Got an opinion, then voice it, that's the way it works. Sorry if you don't like that but you don't get to dictate to me what to post or what to do.Then pull any engines you have installed and stop hopping on your tiny engine soapbox on every thread you don't agree with
We are all supposed to think alike then, is that the way you prefer it?youre right.....thread crappers have a place....even here
It might be on track, the race track, lol. Seriously though, maybe that's what you want it for, if so go for it. I've seen some of the bikes scotto builds for the track, slick and fast, so I wouldn't totally disregard his pov.I just want to add some of my own info to this, because it seems this thread is getting a bit off track. I have my 49cc HS for practical use around the neighborhood and for errands. I never said I wanted a 200cc engine for practical use. I want it for power, power, and more power.
200cc's is way too much engine for practical bicycle usage. I'm very serious when I say this!
Please understand......
scotto-
My bike will go 38 up hill and around 45 on flat ground but it doesn't have scary torque that makes me feel like the engine is trying to jump out of the frame. If that's what you want, the 212cc can be had for 99 dollars with a coupon.Enough power to be able to slam on the gas and really feel the power of the engine. Speed wise, maybe 45 max, but that's just being optimistic. Right now i can get up to 38 on flat ground with my HS.
