Sounds like a plan. I'm not sure anyone has solved the freewheel problem yet. I think the easiest way to do that would be the China bike kit sprocket bolted to the rear wheel. Good luck keep us informed we are always looking for new ideas around here.
I have an interesting bike... I picked up a racing bike at the thrift store for eight bucks, but I didn't like those skinny wheels, so I switch both of them out for a mountain bike set of wheels I had laying around. I also had to add a higher set of handlebars. My knees hit the mountain bike bars. Other than the pedals being in the wrong place the bike works fine.
Oh yeah I had to add a fat butt seat. I have the frame in the shop. I used it with a pusher motor but switched out the motor. A 26" bike is a bit high for me these days. I have some balance issues and would rather climb onto a 20" frame. I have a 24" frame mountain bike that I am be using for my experiments. Even then I had to change out the handle bars. My knees hit them on a mountain bike that small.
