80cc engine with full kit to convert your bicycle to a (sort of) moped
Just to spare you telling me; you will have to fit it yourself to your own bike, and to ride it on public highway; get this inspected, registered, have plates made, taxed insured and because it's more than 50cc, you'll need at least a CBT and provisional / car driving licence, or hold one which includes full motorcycle, and of course buy an approved helmet
(in reality it's never going to happen, this is only practical on private property with the landowner's permission)
Brilliant, a bloke a work was fitting one to his bicycle. Not seen him since. Might be dead or just having too much fun! cheeky

Heat added for the deal, because this is a deals website, not "I don't know what I would do with this" website.
This is good for an engine and chain drive. When we were kids we had a great time in the summer holidays adapting a lawnmower engine to drive a wooden cart with pram wheels. This would have been ideal to built it with these.
All the other contraptions that could be built. doesn't have to be just bikes. Absolutely great deal. Hot Hot.

Bizarre, useless, weird idea - therefore heat added!!
I would like to give this heat but I can't because nobody that buys this has private land to mess about on and there's no way anyone will go through the bother of getting it through vehicle approval. That leaves the options of off road racing; I like the idea of this :-) or bothersome illegal use; I don't like this :-(

Welcome to Great Britain ...
uh oh just to remind you,
It is illegal to keep a pigsty in front of your house (Unless duly hidden).
It is illegal to use a television in Britain without a license.
It is illegal to eat Mute Swan unless you’re the Queen of Great Britain.

These are terrible
we built one and my son had to use parkway's because of it being illegal. (loads of punctures)
Got a lot of admiring glances but it was nothing but trouble
He had put it on a good mountain bike and in the end sold it £25 so he lost a lot of money
They really are rubbish and that is not just an opinion, it is borne of the fact I spent so much time with him repairing it.
I could list loads of (repairs) that we had to do, we even replaced the engine block
He now has a yamaha 50cc scooter and it is a 100 times better

There was a bloke riding a bike with this kind of set up around Cardiff city centre yesterday evening before the Coldplay concert (it wasn't Chris Martin!). He was riding it on the road & the pedestrianised shopping centre area. The coppers did not appear to take any notice. The bike looked a bit heath robinson & sounded like a petrol driven leaf blower. It could be fun & a bit of an engineering project for kids.
high.five!
13 Jul 17#86
Great idea, great project. I like to build one with my kids. Heat :sunglasses:
p.s we don't need 3000 people saying its illegal ! pretty obvious :smirk:

Theres no way to get this type approved, therefore no way of getting it taxed.
I have the same problem with my bike and the electric BBS02 motor, legally I can't use it without getting it taxed, insured, etc, which I'd love to do but it isn't possible. Even if I gimp it to only 250w its still illegal as the motor is capable of 750w (its programmed to 1.5Kw).
Stupid laws. If everyone knew what riding a 1500w electric bike was like there'd be a huge cut in cars on the road. Or maybe thats why the Govt ban it as they'd lose all the tax money and Shell would kick off big time.

Do you need a car/bike battery with it too? Or does it have an alternator built in?
I don't know why I am considering it, but it sure looks like it would be fun to chuck on my old mountain bike

ive done one of these kits onto a bike couple years ago, great laugh blistering fast absolutely lethal but not very reliable, the exhaust ends off right by the carb and it kept getting blocked and needed opening and cleaning. well worth the project though!
Only electric powered bikes are legally allowed on UK roads, so this ideal is not worth the hassle.

Practical? No.
