20 mph is a guideline, for safety, It's not written in stone. You, Just need to know when you can go faster.

I finished a 3hp friction drive bike a couple of weeks ago and was thrill that I never had to pedal the bike at all. Top speed was still around 20 so it was the best of all worlds.
Then I decided to just try an idea I had for a bike using the scooter rear wheel as a drive with a gaoline engine. I had built a bunch of them as ebikes, but never as a gasoline. So I used an enging I thought was worn out. It was just and experiment I told myself. So I huff, I puff, and I bled. Then suddenly it was finished and it worked. Well I had to try it out didn't i? It is a little slower than the 3 hp but not a lot. It climbs the hills much slower, so I have to kick the speed up with the pedals. But when I came home I was grinning like a kid.
I haven't been off the toy bike since. It has only been a couple of days. I need to ride to the bank today, so I think I will ride the big bike there, but I am not finished testing the toy yet.

As a long haul trucker I learned a lot about time and speed. I would watch cars go past and just kept my speed constant. A lot of the time I would pull up behind them at a stop light moments later. Fast is fun, but slow and steady get's er done. My bikes run quite well at 19 mph. I can go much faster but I don't, unless a big dog is after me.

Just back from a long ride. Beautiful spring day here. Have to thank the founder Aleman. (AKA "20+") I was so caught up in the eking out more HP, RPM or MPH. Really did forget why I wanted a MB to begin with. Just a great ride. 30/35 when I had to, but only then. Mostly, a bit above 20. Fast enough so the 'skeeters couldn't catch up. Slow enough to enjoy the scenery.

You've got 'skeeters' already? Glad I live in Colorado. They haven't even hatched yet. That's because all the standing water is still froze.

LOL Tom! Ayup. Crazy high and standing water. Four in the garage. Been a really wet winter. Farmers are gonna love it. Me, I'm building a bat house and lots of bird houses. (we have a large pond in the back yard)

I just put on a sportscarpat hub adapter with a 40 sprocket. It cruise super nice in the 20's now at less then half throttle the motor sounds like it is working way less to cruise I love it. Still part of the 20mph club and looking good doing it.
