Need opinion on this motor

Pinoyxprss · Mar 31, 2011

I found this motor on ebay and I'm planning a second build for my wifes bike.
What do you guys think of this engine?

47cc 49cc 2-Stroke Engine Pocket Bike Mini Quad Bicycle - eBay (item 220666695950 end time Apr-06-11 17:15:35 PDT)

Should I go chain drive or friction drive? what would be better? not looking for a lot of power transfer, but just for cruising around 10-15mph.

Thanks
JD

Not bad little engines. The Cag is used in a lot of pocket bikes and gopeds. Pretty tough, like to rev, and tons of hop up parts available all over. Probably more hp than most Chinese kits.

For just puttin, a friction with a small roller will bolt right up. With chain you will need either a jackshaft, or gearbox to get the right ratio.

I went to their store, a ton of stuff that might stranslate to some inexpensive parts for bikes. Clutches, clutch bells, a small cvt, bolt on carbs that could fit the HS and Hondas, with pretty good prices.

A friction drive kit will get you motorized quickly, and is easily transferred amongst bikes.
I like that motor, maybe I will get one soon.

Been thinking about one of those myself, I plan on making a friction drive setup for my wife and for one of my brothers this summer, that engine with one of the friction drive kits from dax would be a very inexpensive set up, and like it has already been mentioned, loads of parts for mods..... and there cheap!
