Goat Herder that's the way to say it. Over here in Staten Island, NY for (about 7-8 years) we used to have jet-ski's on trailers all over the place launching from the beach near where I live, and they were part of the boating world in a big way. Now you rarely see them around here because of all the accidents they were having and making with swimmers other boaters and all because of recklessness and carefree attitudes no concerned for others. This will without a doubt will be our fate if guys continue to push these gas bikes over the top with speeds and the speed related accidents. The law is liberal now and it can be amended so easily. This current law can and will be altered with regards to the freedom we now have. If a guy feels the need for speed don't do it here, get a motorcycle and really impress you friends. Bicycles do not have the handling characteristics of a motorcycle and should be used in a more conservative way, to push the limits will be the death of this hobby.

well thanks for the insight Ill be sure to keep that in mind when im learning and building. I have no desire to break the law or my bones, all i want to do is find some info on how convert my old school Schwinn into a motorized bike. If anyone can give me or direct to where i can find info on putting on motor on a 20" bike that would be great. thanks.

Old Schwinns make awesome MBs. There are some great dealers. I would look at Dax bicycle engine kit, bike engine, bicycle engine, bicycle motor Bicycle engines Bicycle Engines, Motorized Bicycles, Bicycle Motors, Motored Bikes: 2-Stroke & 4-Stroke Kits! and Spooky Tooth Cycles - Motorized Bicycles: Gas Powered and Electric Bikes - Home There are many, many others those are just the ones I have done biz with and know. You have many options and read around and ask lots of questions.
