Hello

I am not saying any in either way about these but you have to say that having an enginee on your mountain bike which ever country you live in must be fun.

Personally I think they should be legal (uk) if your bike is able to manage it, œ75 they cost plus delivery.

I wounder which countrys in europe they are legal.

80cc on tap (40mph) on your fav mountain bike with or with out slick tires.

Rock on [}:)]

    I can't see the point in them. If you want an engine go and get a motor-bike.
  • for that sort of money,they are probably some cheap chinese built engine.
    if its anything like the cheap chinese strimmer i have,
    i would give it a miss, that thing scares the hell out of me.

    Want to go faster - pedal harder!

    Want to go for longer - eat more weetabix!
  • I fitted one of those to my unicycle, replaced the pedals with BMX footpegs.
    The throttle balance was the most difficult to adjust. I linked the throttle to the unicycle lean angle, (you need to lean forward when accelerating on a unicycle) so,lean forward made you go faster and backwards slow down. It worked quite well, till i tried it round Nottingham city centre, the have a new tram system there. I fell forwards, with my nose in the tramlines and i went full speed all the way to the terminus.
