The hub is zero maintenance and torque from zero MPH. The battery pack for it cost me and arm and a leg though. It was the same price I paid for my Felt brand new. $750. Makes me shudder every time I bring it up. LOL
97cc of Flathead Fury! I'm now riding a rolling space heater!

Mike nice build..Glad you like the lil heater!But don"t sell it short the lifan is 98CC of torque.Mine is on a shift kit so you can only amagine the pull in all 5 gears.I have a gx 160 carb and was wondering what carb you are running...?thanx and again nice build
Thanks. I'm using the GX 160 on a 48 tooth sprocket attached to a 16 lb 2250 Watt electric hub. That hub gets me rolling to 20mph then the 98cc of Fury kicks in. LOL
I butchered a regular 4 stroke mount with a dremel tool. It has hasn't fallen off my bike one time. It looks ugly but you cant see it with the motor sitting on it. LOL
That is seriously badass.
Of all the bikes on here, I'd ride that daily. Maybe it's the off road tires, OD green paint and Army star. I dunno, it's awesome and I want one. lol Kudos!

I do ride it daily.....to absolutely nowhere in particular. For no other reason than to see what falls off, flies off, snaps in half or strips out on it on L.A.'s 3rd World Streets. If it can make it here.......then it can make it anywhere.
I learned a whole lot from this thing. It's held up pretty well for the most part. It also get's more attention then a Bugatti Veyron. LMAO

Here it is for sale on eBay. People seem to like to look at it at least. LOL

Sweet ride man, hows the torque on the motor ?
And what kind of gas tank is that ?
Been looking for something similar for my bike

The torque is like a Hayabusa .....without the top end. The pedals are only foot rests for my feet. The tank is a 1977 moped tank off of eBay.
At 40 MPH the bike simply hits an invisible wall which I can only cross going downhill or off a cliff. It doesn't matter if it has a 49cc or 97cc engine, or what tooth sprocket I use or carburetor (GX 160 currently) used.
The RPM simply drops if I gear it high and everything becomes much more civilized and quiet with the 97cc and GX 160 carb. It's like the rear hub and battery is a 25 lb parachute pulling on the gas motor. I done did all I can do and I'm done. I give up. LOL

It was over $4000 in parts including the $750 battery pack. If it don't sell then I'll just keep riding it to nowhere since gas is basically free at 150 MPG.
I got 4000 miles to nowhere on it so far.
Luckily I have a car for a very short commute. I'm way too paranoid to leave this bike unattended for more than a few minutes. It just gets too much attention than I could ever want when it's parked and I'm not actually riding it.
It's a Hybrid Vehicle and I live in California. Home of the worlds most stringent emissions standards. What do you think? LOLBoss frown if you parked it in your office?
