has anyone on this group used one of those engines that you can get to
fit
on mountain bikes? i mean the petroleum/gasoline type not the electric.

what are the pro's & con's to the type that use a chain or belt loop
drive
to the type that simply rest on top of the wheel and apply drive directly
to
the top of the tyre?

thanks
jeremy



Doesn't that all ready exist? It's called a motor bike. What's the point
of having it on a mtn bike?

Jason

true yes, but... these arent actual motorbikes as such... just a small
engine to get you up over a hill or to hugely extend your range if you're
touring. they dont necessarily replace you having to pedal. plus motorbikes
need insurance, road tax etc, these seemingly lie in a legal grey area...
