Old mountain bike rider on an old mountain bike

[Brads bike]

Hello and thanks for letting me join, I`m an old mountain biker from the 80`s , riding an old 86 Ritchie Aspen, had it hanging in the barn for a cpl 5 -8 yrs and said hey I`m putting an engine on this old girl. Picked up a Grubee 66cc and put it on , still breaking it in but can tell I`m going to need the 48 tooth sprocket, lots of hills here in Nelson BC, enjoy the ride

Welcome to the forum, motorized bikes are a lot of fun.

You can go to Gru-Bee for their version of a shift kit. I use a Staton Inc triple chainring shift kit. The shift kit will give you more options for climbing steep hills without sacrificing level ground top speed.

Though a 4 stroke is used in the picture a 2 stroke can be used as well.

Post pictures, exactly what kind of riding are you planning on doing? Off road, paved roads, both etc.
