It is not 49cc - It is 2.0 gross hp. Since you have 6.5hp and no pedals, your motor bicycle is illegal to ride on the street in California . There are several threads posted on this forum of the legal requirements.Does anyone know if this is legal to ride on the street, (in California) . I've heard it has to be under 49cc.
Thanks, I didn't expect it to be street legal. I'm reluctant to change the design so the chains line up because it works so well right now. I rode it 5-6 miles with no problems. Since the tensioner moves the return path of the chain so it lines up, the chain can't come off. I can understand the danger of a chain flying off especially when your moving at a high speed.It is not 49cc - It is 2.0 gross hp.

Get that chain lined up before you throw it and really hurt yourself. Last thing you need is the chain whipping off at 30+ miles per hour into your spokes or onto your body. If you can't move the engine any farther over, then redesign your mount. The chain needs to be lined up straight, sprocket to sprocket.
Good Luck,
