Can someone help me figure out how to motorize this bike?

interesting, that has a lot of room for the motor
you should put a briggs on it, that would be sweet

[bairdco]

just build a regular bike with a motor, cut off the whole front end and weld it on top of that, so your rear tire sits on the treadmill and spins it.

you'd have the goofiest bike around, and not only will the spandex crowd call you a cheater, but so will the health nuts.

when you're thru with that project, maybe you could motorize a stationary spin bike. you'd get all the excitement of motor biking, without having to leave your garage!

I gotta wonder if that was a real bike or just some fancy photo imaging? Whoever modeled that thing has no pride LOL

Now here's some interesting bikes...I like the recumbent row bike!

I think that is awesome. It would be like a razor for adults. I would either go with a friction drive or a rack mount.
