Motorbikin with hardly any power

[S J Wilmer]

Heres my Australia legal motorbicycle , the motor has only 200watts, that is all we are allowed here in New South Wales , anyway the engine is totally gutless and wont rev past around 1800rpm , tho its easy enough to get normal power levels out of it while I loosen it up ...

wow thats cool! i believe we have the same power restrictions here in south oz to. i would ride your bike till the wheels wear out!

Just call it Low and Slow..

Do they limit the quantity of 200Watt motors per bike? Maybe you could add a pusher motor in a trailer?

I don't know if you're allowed to use one, but they make gear boxes for use with those things. I've also seen 3-spd hubs set up as a "jack shaft".

What is your oil/fuel ratio? Too thick and it'll muddle up.

200 watts??? Isn't that like 1/4 HP? Wow...wouldn't it be easier to just pedal?! :mrgreen:
But seriously, cool bike - lonnnng and looowww.

Yeah its not much power , it does help tho , any pedaling you do is easy going . and its not difficult to get more out of it , I have plans for a three spd hub driven thru a jackshaft shift kit , it will make a big difference .
