| I want to motorise my bicycle.
About 60 years ago, I've been told, some people put little petrol/gas-powered motors on ordinary bicycles. When they wanted to start the motor they would pedal like mad. When it fired they could sit back to recover.
Does anyone know of a URL or thread where I could find out more - to the point of modifying a modern motor for this purpose? |

| Hope you found some info. Have any links for us? What kind of gas motor do they use? Something small, like from a gas trimmer or blower? |
