Hey guys so i finished my newest motorized bicycle build last week. The bike is a schwinn 26in aluminum racer hard tail mountain bike with rockshock front forks. I bought a staton inc friction drive mount kit with a 54mm clutch drum and the smallest spindle available (.825")since i live in a mountainous area. i ordered the kit with no motor because i ordered an a chungyang 29rc with a stuffed crank and 30.5cc earth surfer products championship ported big bore kit from ddm which i installed before i ever stared the motor. Ill say this after getting the bike built, tuned, and broke in it seriously hauls. a cop here paced me at 42mph on flat ground thankfuly he thought the bike was cool so no ticket for going over 30 lol. Guys you should seriously consider the smaller rc engines. this thing can easily run circles around my china girl schwinn. if you gear them short enough to let them spin the insane rpm they like to run at (18000ish redline) they perform flawlessly. i climbed a road called squaw peak here localy and it will easily out run my yamaha vino 50 scooter all the way to the top. and the aftermarket parts availability for these is very big and well priced. these are the same engines the hpi baja can run and the gopeds as well. my camera is broke but ill post pics soon. anyways i noticed not to many guys were running these so i figured i would share the success story. 4.5hp with stock intake and canister exhaust. a pipe and intakewill produce 6hp total. not bad for 30.5cc!
