My Car Chaser lol !!!

My bike is a 80/66cc Trek Road Bike, its been horned out for better exaust flow, same with the intake housing. extra brackets behind the mounts to keep the motor from twisting on hard throttling. big steel washers installed behind, and in front of the drive sprocket to keep the chain from jumping off. It does 36.2 on flat road. The only problm i'm having, is that i'm going thru back rims. So I ordered a 48 tooth rim, for durability. I can't wait to add the shift kit I ordered lol. (this is going to be a riot!). Oh the only other mod i did, I had to cut the exaust. But i also ordered a custom one. Look out next year sooky tooth death race. I'm coming for that ass in 2011 Whooo!!!!!!

What do you mean, "going through rims"? Are the spoke nipples pulling through the spoke beds? Perhaps it is from using a crummy wheel or running with loose spoke tension. A 48 hole wheel will be very durable, but may not match up with the 9 hole sprocket system.

A 48 tooth motor cog will probably stress a wheel more than a 36 tooth, as more torque will be effectively placed on the rim through the spokes.



Also look up HybriPed. It has an effect like shortening the spokes on the motor side by using a high tech multi layer rag joint. It works with common shimano road hubs.

But I really like when people motorise road bicycles. Good job!

Hey happycheapskate, I'm useing 27 inch wheels and tires, and the spokes are braking around the bolts are. and I fig. out yesterday that i can't use a 48 spoke rim. and ordered a rim that would take thicker spokes. thanks for the heads up though, good looking out. and I did order a jack shaft kit.
