Default Sup folks, from Sydney Australia

Hi.

Last night while browsing I discovered engine kits for bikes, and whamo they're going to revolutionize my riding with the misses.

So here's the deal; the wife can't peddal up hill, she aint fat, she just hates peddling... so I got her a lightish bike with road tyres 16" frame. The bar that connects the steering column to the crank is oversized around 40mm.


I basically see 2 types excluding electric.
1.- Those that site over the back wheel
2.- Those that go in the middle with a tank on the top

Now if it was for me I'd go with 2, but I already have a motorbike (BMW K1300R) so cycling is for excursive ... and the Mrs is a little fussy so I figured I'd sneak one on that could be removed quickly.

What do guys recommend for a woman who has the above bike?

Thanks folks!

Welcome rayone, glad you joined us.

Sorry about that, but you will need to make a few post before you can post any links. We are such a popular site that we must do this to help fight spam.

You can still post pics if you use the attachment way of posting the photos

No worries... the bike is a kind of Hybrid street/race, attached are the pics... the bike isn't as tall as the one in the attachment, that's 22" vs her 16".

The tyres are thin and so are the forks.

I've kind of short listed 2 rear wheel, 1 uses a belt the other uses a chain... I figured since these engines don't generate much power a belt transmission would probably be better, plus it looks to have a higher ratio so better up hill ability.

What y'all think?

Thanks again.
