After lots of walking at LDRS and Airfest, I wanted an easily transported rocket chase vehicle. An atv would take up all the room in my pickup bed, a dirt bike is too heavy for the back of my RV trailer and a mini bike is just - silly. I’m 6’1” 215lbs and mini bikes are still heavy plus little tires just fall in holes. I had an old aluminum frame mountain bike and had a motor kit that I bought years ago when it seemed like a good idea. The entire bike wouldn’t be too heavy, transport on a bike rack and the 26” tire would be ok off road. The motor is 49cc 4 stroke, centrifugal clutch, and a 50 tooth sprocket for better low end performance. After LOTS of getting it setting right and lined up, it’s nearly done. Just waiting on tool to remove pedal crank and replace with new wider one. Old pedals hit motor. Will be taking to Naram in Luscerne next June if shakedown is successful
