[Springfieldscooter]

Not much has changed in the motorized bicycle arena, in the past few years...

What new product(s) would you like to most in the near future?

Id love to see a 4 stroke engine kit that was designed for a BICYCLE!
49cc, 79cc, 125cc ... Really dosent matter to me , as long as it was truly designed for a bicycle frame, and affordable.
A little V-twin would have me interested!

And i think everyone else on the forum, V twin subject come and goes, as most are to costly. LOL .......Curt

yeah, light weight 4-stroke with manual clutch & maybe 2 or 3 speeds built into case

 

[curtisfox]

No trans here has to be all automatic, and believe a lot of other states also. Be nice if someone would come out with a small torq-converter to work on small engines, US made..........Curt

A real manual gearbox with no belt, that attaches to 3/4" and 5/8" shafts... In mass production under $200.

 

[crassius]

here, if it has auto trans or cent. clutch it needs license & reg

 

[ultralight01]

Here, it just needs to be under 49cc with a license. So, stickers.

A nice looking gas tank.

Im working on a few 2-speed designs. With off the shelf parts you can put one together for about $250. If you're serious about buying it I can make a thread with the parts list. Ones I'm working on will cost over $500. There's always the cvt you can buy but it has too many drawbacks for me to choose it over a single speed cent clutch. That's what I'd like to see, and I'm gonna make it happen. What are YOU making happen?

 

[culvercityclassic]

A nice looking gas tank.

I agree, a nice solid bolt on gas tank. Now why has nobody thought of this, it would be a seller for sure.

 

[ultralight01]

A new bike for myself. That's what I'm making... happen

 

[scratchbuilder]

Electric push button starter add on

 

[Ludwig II]

The 4 stroke engine design exists; making it cheaply enough to sell profitably is the problem. The dear old Ducati Cucciolo.

 

[LandSpeedRecord]

I third the gas tank vote. I talked to the local steel company about cutting out templates for me to weld up. I may still do a run of about 10 of them and see how they go.

I've got my eye on a company called LiquidPiston, which is in the prototyping phase of designing a 70cc rotary engine which produces about 5.5 hp, turns 15,000 rpms, and weighs 3 lbs. It would make for one **** of a motorized bicycle.

I'm waiting for it to become available at a reasonable price. Might take a few years.

 

[StevenMain]

I'd like if someone made a performance top end set that was direct bolt on like airsal offers for piaggio and such. One that lasts.

Rotatry engines are the future. Incredible efficient, small and lightweight. Also, they turn incredible speeds with a lot less moving parts.
