Got it. Thanks for the technical input. I’ve been focused on another project just now but I will take a close look at your ideas soon. Thanks again. I do appreciate the inputs.
you know, a stepper … you know, a stepper motor on the wheels would also work. you could use a solar charge regulator off ebay, which is about 17.89 with shipping and handling included. a 10w solar panel could also be mounted on that box you have in the rear, and it would keep the battery charged up driving and when not in the daytime. the 2 stepper motors on the whels could also help maintain the battery charge rather well.
Hey, A 80cc engine … Hey, A 80cc engine should make plenty of power for you. As to the top speed of your machine, if you have the power the rest is in the gear ratios you pick. With small engines like this it is usually a trade-off between hill climbing and top speed. I would say ‘go for it’.
For electric start, … For electric start, you could buy an 18v drill, and a drill direction changer, hardwire the drill switch to always be on, and have a 6v battery in series with the motorcycle battery, to step up voltage, and in return, the drill would generate as well.
Thanks for the info … Thanks for the info. I have like no skills at electrical stuff but that sounds like a good idea. I’ll have to study up on diodes and voltage regulators. A starter would be nice too but I have not figured that one out either.
You know, If you … You know, If you wanted to, you could buy a 12 volt heater blower motor, and attach it to each of the 2 wheels, and use it like a bike dynamo, only that you should directly connect them to the battery. You might want to install a voltage regulator, so you won’t overcharge the battery, and also, a blocker diode on each of the + outputs of the motors. Considering your bike does 40, you might could get 4 amps per motor.

is that a tecumseh engine? you can get an electric start and stator and such so you dont need a battery….
