Sears branded Puch foldie with a bumblebee friction drive.

One thing I need to change is the front chainring. The size is fine without the motor but when I pedal when the motor is running I'm spinning. A larger one is needed. Do the make 50+ teeth rings for one peice cranks?
 
After thinking about it. It's going to be a lot less hassle going smaller in back. It's an oddball bike for sure. It may have some weird threading.
I topped out at 24mph but I bet I can do a little better with lower gearing.
Yes, I wear a helmet.
