my chopper ...hotter than a stolen police car

[howling harp]

built with chinese 66cc engine and twenty eight tooth rear sprocket. 20inch rear wheel. top speed of about 40 mph. idles ok as well. meets defin/ of motor assisted bycycle as amended in the HTA. i saw a post earlier that said ontario had no def'n to cover these bikes but i have to disagree. regulation 473/06 amended the hta to include motor assisted bycylces as a bycycle in the definition. see section 38. new bill 126 is renewing the amendment, as it would have ended oct. 3, 2009. love to know if i'm wrong but don't think so. roy

what have you done to the motor? lets see more pics

Classy! Big bike :-)

[howling harp]

thanks. yeah it is big. especially when you run out of gas. ( i did late at night wheh..) anybody else have trouble with rear bearings in axle not being able to withstand constant motor use? i am thinking of swapping a motorcycle rim n tire axle assembly to beef it up. comments???

How did you get 28 teeth and a 20" inch rim to go 40mph? the ratios dont add up.

[howling harp]

hm... don't know the ratio math. but have a radar gun. it takes a little bit to get there but get there it does. 34/35 is no problem (mph). how fast do you think it should go given your math?

nice spoiler !!!
I have seen stock 'ray freewheels go bad as well as hub bearings
I would have thought spoilers would have better internals !

the big 20" tires are very close in height to 24's as well

[DUNDOM'S CUSTOM CRUISERS]

28.75mph max

40 on that? Hmm......I have my doubts as well. Looks real nice.

nice motor mount did you have to make it or has somebody actually started selling them...ive been toying with a couple designs lately to fit a hard to fit bike and have been paying extra attention to this stuff


why does this thing keep calling me a newbie...ive built 4 of these things
