Tony,

Here's a hint / suggestion in searching for a contact number for Cameron Woods inventor / patent holder of Motoped.

Try looking for businesses in Santa Cruz, California other than Motoped, with business owners named Cameron Woods. I cannot confirm or deny that this will get you in touch with the same Cameron above just think positive maybe you'll succeed in finding him! Good Luck.

Maybe this could be the same guy below:
Cameron Woods in Santa Cruz, CA - Google Search

does any body know or can find out what size sprockets ar on this bike? I need all 4 sizes to complete mine..

Scott, aka BatesBikeConverters. If you are still interested you can reach Cameron and just ask him what sprockets he uses, he'll either tell you or not.

Just follow the link or google Cameron Woods Tree & Stump Removal Service, thats gow I found him.

Peace C.H.

I am finishing up a build using a 125cc Lifan, gearing took 2 attempts. I am running a jackshaft With 14/14 sprockets on the primary and now 13/ 40 on the secondary. For an overall final drive of 3.07. The original final was 4.0 and was way too low for my intended street use(though probably ideal for off road). Hope to ride today with the new gearing as soon as the weather clears, let you know how it goes.

Just finished riding the Lifan powered bike, heres a link regarding gearing. This thing could ride most any trail with this gearing, 1st is a stump puller, and it climbs hills it shouldnt in 4th, which means I need to gear up a bit to suit my taste.http://motorbicycling.com/f36/latest-lunacy-honda-ct70-clone-build-36108-4.html#post359267

Cannonball2, can you post a video or more pics or links to video, hopefully one of your builds will incorporate pedal power making it street legal as a true motor assisted bicycle.

C.H.
PS. batesbikeconverters, has completed one motorized mountain bike and is currently working on a second build as he has already sold the first build. Hopefully he'll start a new build thread for his latest build. He has a thread titled "Motoped What Size Sprockets" are used jackshaft and rear wheel hub drive sprockets are used!

 

[cannonball2]

Actually CH in my state pedals are not a requirement to be legal, or I would have sure worked em in some how. What pics would you like to see of the build and I will post em. Videos are a PITA to load with our basic slow a$$ DSL.

I'm curious of your motor mount and how many hours do you have in this build.

BTW, I'm going to assume you've seen your fellow Georgian State forum member's build his screen name is Civlized, he used this same engine on his Micargi Stretch Cruiser build!

Here's my new frame it's a Honda Solo 50, frame.

I've changed my mind with this build, it's now going to be a retro vintage style build.

Here's the engine I'm using, it's one I'm taking off my new chinese cloned Honda CRF 50 pedal moped engine.

I'm going for a retro style build, like this below. This style build can go anyway you like, either an Extreme MotorAssisted MountainBike or an Retro style build.



I'm still waiting for a reply from Richard Castel @ www.TokyoMotorbikes.com hopefully he will find some parts for me, especially the Honda Solo 50 swingarm. I've tried every Japanese Honda Motorcycle website and none offer an english translation for their sites.

If you too are thinking about this style build it might be worth a visit to his website, who knows maybe he can help more of us here that are interested in these parts.

If you didn't already know this the Vietnamese beat the Chinese to the punch, how's that well they are now cloning the Honda Solo 50, the Vietnamese version is called the Solowins 50.

Here's a pic of it below.

Im really really digging that second bike pictured (small picture) done in the retro style build. Very NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Crazy Horse]

The Honda Solo 50's, are loosely based on the old German mono shock frame of the Zundapps, DKW'S, AND Sachs motorbikes I'm at work right now or I'd post a link and or picture of those vintage post world war II motorbikes.

looks more of an attempt to copy the current ""bobber"" craze

Ummmm a bobber is still VINTAGE.... bobbers go back to when war vets were coming back from war and removing parts from their bikes to make them lighter..... seems you dont know as much as you think you do

Harry, you are correct when you stated that bobbers are of a vintage style, that are becoming more popular again!

This is from wiki-pedia ( Bobbers )

A bobber is a custom motorcycle that usually has had the front fender removed, the rear fender "bobbed" or made smaller, and all superfluous parts removed to make it lighter.

History

The bobber was the earliest simple and stripped down custom motorcycle hand-built by individuals with mechanical skills and often part of the early biker clubs scene before there were any such thing as choppers. It is a style of custom motorcycle which took shape in the 1940s and 50s, generally thought to have been started by returning WW II American servicemen working on ex-military motorcycles and inspired by lighter European motorcycles they had seen and ridden.

The bikes reflected their owners and were often homemade but today there are many companies that create such vehicles. The style has also influenced motorcycle manufacturers such as Harley-Davidson.

The style continues to be favored by some to this day. Hybrid vintage styles have emerged such as as a "bobber-chopper" and retro-bobber.

My next build will be a Stretch Cruiser inspired by the Honda Solo 50, with a custom stretched frame and many other custom fabricated parts, I'll start a new thread sooon in the Stretch Cruiser & Chopper thread. This will be a motorized bicycle inspired build based on the Honda Solo 50.

Checkout this Honda Solo 50 inspired custom build it's all electric bicycle:

[harry76]

Harry76, I found a supplier for the Honda CB100 forks cost is $100.00 USD, plus shipping from Indonesia and 4 to 6 weeks on the slow boat!

Here in the Washington,D.C. Area and in the States of Virginia and State of Maryland USA, if it's 49cc and has pedals we don't have to register or have insurance to ride it on the street, it's just a motor assisted bicycle and or moped!

I'll start a post in the Stretch Cruiser & Chopper builds section of forum soon regarding this build as it'll be my version of a Stretch Cruiser Honda Solo 50, since the frame will be a Stretched CRF50 style modified frame, I'll be using moped hubs laced into 80 or 100 mm bicycle wheels.

Here's a couple more pic's for your viewing enjoyment below,



The next pic below compliments of Paul aka PHC @endlessphere



the next pic below is the Honda CRF50 style Horizontal 49cc engine with built in pedals, just like the engine used on the Lazer Pedal Moped and it's a fourstroke engine.



Below is the Vietnamese Clone Version of the Honda Solo 50.



These Honda Solo 50's & the Vietnamese version called the Solowins 50 can be converted very easily to an Extreme Motorized Mountain Bicycle, just add the Mountain Bicycle Forks & Wheels.

Somebody should become a distributor for those Solowins, they look really nice! I bet the EPA would want a cut though and the practicalities would drive you out of business.

 

[motor_bike_fanatic]

This is a pit bike clone, thats all. I have seen these for sale mass produced. just forgot which site that was on. but its a mb pit bike clone. really no different than a btr replica or a cafe racer clone or a bobber clone. its copying another style. its really cool though. of all the clone styles, i like the pit bike clones the best. they look the most badass and are probably the hardest to build, because they look like they take a lot of fabrication, customization, changine the shape of the frame, etc. just dont think this is the only bike like this.

Hey, if you guys read through my post here its post#44 you'll see that Cameron Woods is owner of a tree / stump removal service and if you carefully read through this thread you'll see that Cameron Woods is also the patent owner of Motoped!

So just click on the google link to Cameron Woods in Santa Cruz California, and it'll give his contact information ie telephone number for his tree service in Santa Cruz. The motoped website does not give a contact number, but now you have this info to reach Cameron for a motoped / extreme Motorized mountain bike!

Peace Crazy Horse.

WOW, could this be good news for the Extreme MotorAssisted MountainBike ( aka Motoped ), looks like Designer / Inventor Cameron Woods of Santa Cruz, California has quite possibly partnered with Director & Chief of Design for Specialized Bicycles Robert Egger, Specialized Bicycles was founded and is owned by Mike Sinyard, CEO.

Maybe will see Extreme MotorAssisted MountainBike's ( aka Motoped's ), go mainstream with a company like Specialized Bicycles. I think it would be awesome to see this become a reality.

Well feast your eye's on this bicycle built by none other than Robert Egger's Specialized Bicycles chief design engineer!

How bout you guys at specialized offering just the rolling chassis, and let us the end users motorize them!

It certainly appears that Specialized Bicycles has their components all over this Model / Prototype build.

I'm loving it, what say you should Specialized offer this publicly? With or without the motor, post your opinions for or against and why they should or shouldn't market the Extreme MotorAssisted MountainBike's ( aka Motoped's ).

C.H.
