Hi bikers. My dad and I are planning a 800 mile round trip road trip on our motorized bikes. I'm riding a souped up seeutek 80cc with a 36t sprocket. My dad is riding a zeda 100 with a 36 tooth sprocket. One thing we are concerned about is overheating after long hours of riding. The other concern is miles between gas stops. How would you solve these problems. Also keep in mind that we will be a little loaded down with gear. Trying to keep it light while also having enough stuff to survive. Also what extra parts would you bring for the trip.
My way of dealing with such issues is I have a 5 quart see through gas tank, a 4 stroke engine, a triple chainring shift kit and a techometer.
As for you I suggest carrying mixed gas with you. Get a techometer. So that you know exactly what your engine is doing. A heat sensor would be a benefit.
Since you've got gear you may want to consider changing the 36t rear sprockets to a larger sprocket.
A multi speed bicycle is better than a single speed bicycle for pedal assisting. If on your techometer you can't reach max torque rpm then you'll have multiple ratios to choose from to pedal assist you up to max torque rpm to prevent engine strain.
With a single speed all you can do to pedal assist is either increase cadence (crank rpm) or stand and mesh the pedals to reach max torque rpm.
If you're going over max horse power rpm all that's needed to keep from over revving is to throttle back some.
