Diggers' new project (Not Another !!) - Diggers - 30-08-2012
Right well i sometimes get ideas in my head, so the past few weeks i came across a video on utube of a starter motor on a push bike, then thought "ive got my old 1.6 starter in the garage" so the hunt for a bike began.
then my bro said his missus was getting rid of her bike for FREE !!!
so a hour or so and this was the result

Epic!
RE: Diggers' new project (Not Another !!) - Eeyore - 30-08-2012
would it not have been better to mount the motor on the bottom of the frame so then you can keep the suspension?

And you could have used a shorter chain to the original crank sprocket and kept the gears?
Re: Diggers' new project (Not Another !!) - Diggers - 31-08-2012
Motor was to hard to line up if it ws mounted at the bottom and the original cranks and gears were fuked that why it wad free

Do it anyway! Petrol v Electric

I can vouch for the fact that a starter motor can run for at least half an hour on a Bosch super battery. Just make sure your around when it's cranking...
