Cooper & Ludwig
- Thread starter Ludwig II
- Start date
Doug reckons he can fit different cranks, smaller chainwheel, and the engine can sit low in the angle of it. This means I get to use the Dax copy tank that will make it look really, really, vintage. It will need a swivel arrangement to swing it out to fill it and brackets welding on, but it's right for the job.

Hello Ludwig,
A couple years ago, near Bern, there was great odltimer show, with selling a lot of cars, motorcycles and components... On attached photo shown are small engines, that I could buy cheaply (some were small generators) - but I left that for some "better times" that didn't appeared...

[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Hello Ludwig,[/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]Seller didn't know anything about stuff that he sell: production, model, type, quality, power. We planed to return alter and check everything and maybe buy one, but was tire a lot: exposition was really big and interesting...[/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]I had better photos with readable facts on engine's plates, but couldn't find it anymore. I suppose that they are two strokes of around 150 cc and a few HP: ex-Army surplus.[/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, cursive]There is another possibility: to buy ex-Army gasoline generator and use just engine (which could be illegal), or to use it for hybrid power (that could be legal, but too heavy)...[/FONT]

What about the cheap 650w 2 stroke generators? Run them in properly, don't ask more watts than they can put out, they're ok. You have to find a way to turn the 240v AC into enough DC to charge batteries and/or run a motor.
I'm rather glad I'm treading a well worn path with my bike.

...that is one of the solutions for simple, relatively cheap and not so heavy propulsion system for my present HPV quadricycle. I had a lot of questions about hybrid systems, but just one here: if I had generator that gives 650 Watts (around 90-120 $$$ and 16 kg), could I use electric-motor with less nominal power - or with more nominal power?
I have in mind so-called serial hybrid with direct power to electric-motor without batteries (to save on weight and money, complexity too) – as when we use some electric tools powered by generator. My neighbor in communal garden has one – noticed that generator's engine automatically throttle-back when he stop to use drill... Maybe to try it, before buying it?

... a lot of dilemmas for diletant as I am, with limited finance.
I prepare some questions to jump at one of active threads about hybrids, probably at:

The motor and transmission are nice. All the wiring is a bonus as well since it will cut down a lot of work.

I've never been a fan of square headlights on bikes either. Apart from that the AV7 should make a good sound basis for a bike project 
Make-smoke-we've-seen-the-Bismarck. - that really made me smile and I don't know how I missed it before Ludwig
