Any advice appreciated:
I’m looking to build up a mountain bike for hunting. The biggest critter I’ll be after are Roosevelt Elk. Up to 1000+ pounds. Will have to haul it out in about 6 to 8 loads. I have a bike trailer I will use for most of it. I live in Washington State. On the coast. Our mountains aren't huge but can be steep.
I’ll be traveling logging roads. So I have a few questions
1) How do I pick the right mountain bike frame so the motor will fit?
2) What size engine?? I first thought 49c but I’ve also heard 80cc.
3) I’m looking for high torch. Speed isn’t the issue. If I get 10 mph that’s fast enough. At my age (62) getting over road rash takes forever.
4) And weight. About how much will this bike weigh?? ( Ball park).
5) Also what brand of engine kits is reliable.
6) And noise. 4 stroke are usually quieter but heavier than 2 stroke.. I’d like to save weight if I can. Maybe a bigger muffler system??
Any help would be appreciated guys
Thanks in advance
