    I remember asking some old guys in puerto rico about how people in colombia could've managed to make motorized bicycles in Bogota. They told me a weed wacker or as they call it a trimmer was possible but I never confirmed that info until I later saw a something similar from RUclips's offspring tiktok

    Why do you remove the clutch...isn't the engine supposed to idle when you are stopped..so what if I wanna keep the clutch?

    • @wideband
      @wideband  6 лет назад +3

      Weed wacker clutch isnt strong enough for something like this. You would have to find a bigger clutch and put it on.

      @@wideband ok so I'm looking to build one that is connected to the chain of the bike and is not friction drive. How do I go about getting the engine to idle...I was thinking of adding a gear that is connected to a bearing that will spin and act as a idle gear...I think that is my best option

    Dankie/ Thx. The video is educative. My motorbike broke down near Cape Town, South Africa, and was then attack.... So I'm think or an idea. Will this weedeater motor work on 120kg motorbike? Just not 2B stranded...

      Might be kind of heavy for that tiny engine. Longest ride we ever took one of these motors was 28 miles in one day, so it does work for some traveling. We would use the pedals to get going and the motor would get into it's powerband at about 9 or 10 mph so might be hard to start without pedals.
