Hello,
I enjoy cycling and all motorsports to begin with and thought that while I am in college, and since I am on a budget motorized bikes would be the easiest way to get my fix for danger and speed. I know they are not built for high speeds but I just want something to enjoy and practice my mechanic skills on for the next year or so.
Firstly,
I know the easiest way to really get more speed outta the bike is to mount a lower tooth count sprocket on it, I plan on doing this immediately after the break-in period is over. my question here is would a "performance" or "racing" carb actually increase the performance of the engine on the little 49cc bike.
Secondly, I plan on removing the pedals and plan on replacing them with foot pegs to make it into what my state calls a "motor scooter", given that I was wondering how effective or reliable the pull starters are or if in an emergency could you start it like an old board track racer. (ie, spinning the wheel on the back to start the engine.)
Finally, this is just an aesthetic question, can the gas tank fit inside the gap in the frame on a huffy Cranbrook, between the top bar and those two parallel curved bars? I feel like a smaller 1.5-liter tank could fit there with some modified mounting equipment.
Thank you all in advance for any and all input on my questions!
