Making a Moped

my thoughts:

-ditch the steelhead and buy a moped

OR

-buy an engine kit, and a bi-turbo exhaust kit for a badass set-up

arn't mopeds dirt cheap

if your gonna bother doing this at least make it run on biodiesiel/vegetable oil

I made one last year. There is no way you're going to attach the motor to the sprocket of your bike. It's a much smaller sprocket and would break and a chain that can take the stress of an engine is not flexible enough to change positions like a bikes chain. What I did was take a bike peg and attach it to a weed wacker engine. I then mounted the engine on the frame with the bike peg pushing down on the tire. There is no clutch so to start it I just started pedaling and the engine started itself. To stop I throttled it down and used the brakes. It worked great for a few months until the mounts on the engine broke from the vibration. My friend thought it'd be a good idea to go offroading...

that's legit

9 speed moped? are you kidding? that is one terrible idea if you thought that would work you should probably just buy a normal moped.
