How to build an inexpensive two speed emotor bike. The story begins with the search for a wheel.
Now I usually use a scooter rear wheel with the motor bracket attached. But for this build I am trying to go for the easy to find, anyone can do it, build instructions. So I have decided to use a wheel from a child's 16 inch bike. The thrift store had one for eight bucks but I wanted to see if I could find one for a better price.
I did order a chain sprocket for the scooter motor from tnc and one of their motor brackets that mounts on the wheel as well. I figure if I can't use it, I can probably get some ideas from it. So I'm on hold for a while.
