80cc engine fitted to a pedal bike

i have snapped a bolt inside the engine which attaches to the frame securely

the bike what its attached to has a few sporks broken and its not fit to ride on the bike so your best off reattaching engine to another pushbike

clutch works perferct

tank seal has gone can be easily fixed with anything to seal gaps

engine has corrosion on it but aint too
bad

swaps or offers

These are probably headed the way of the dodo now that it's quicker and easier for them to fit an eeeeb conversion kit (ideally with a twisty throttle) and forget about limiters or pedal sensors...

I suppose DIY deathtraps are like a flames to a moth for some people, still it all helps thin the herd...

unfortunately encourage by the like of sam pilgrim. I feel like it could be great fun but so much to go wrong and not exactly discreet.

There was a guy flew past me this morning on a 'Mammoth' e-fatbike, no pedalling, rattling along at around 25mph I'd say. It had a chainset, but he looked like he had no need to pedal, seen him slowing down for a junction, then rapidly accelerating away again?.

Used to see kids at the Forest of Dean jumps on these things that were the front ends of old rigid MTBs with a rear motor + swingarm unit of a moped attached and pivoting at the BB, shock linked to a clamp on the back of the seat tube. They looked like loads of fun and sailed over the jumps.
