ready (???) to put plan into action!

ok you guys here is my plan: 24" bmx cruiser + 41cc mitsubishi + homemade rack mount + 6 tooth pinion gear on centrifugal clutch w/3rd bearing support + 98 tooth sprocket on rear hub....16 1/3 to 1 gearing @ 7000 rpm = 30.59 mph top speed with a 22mph cruise...does that sound about right to motor around the neighborhood? any problems you see with that setup?

Frankly I'm not smart enough to comment but try it and let us know how it goes.

That sounds like a fun set of numbers to me! Plenty fast enough fo'sho'.

thanks guys i just thought of a possible issue...clearance of the (big) rear sprocket. we''ll see if it works. i would love NOT to have a gearbox...

Kinda sounds like a gebe clone with a chain.

NICE.

i like the sound of "gebe clone with chain" as my new motor was $85 and the parts to install it are about $90...how much for a GEBE setup with motor? huh? HUH?
