Or, I could simply turn a moped rear wheel around so the sprocket is on the left side? Seems kind of silly to overlook that, or maybe I'm not seeing why that wouldn't work?
Not interested in trikes at all. I want to put an engine on a 2 wheel bicycle, or a moped, and use it for a fun project. I would think I would not need any gears or anything if I hook it up to the output of the CVT, nto the output of the engine. That way I would still have the automatic cvt, but also be able to power a large rear wheel by chain which would be impossible with the engine itself as there is not enough space to fit a 20-26 inch tire on these scooter engines.
So far the hardest parts I am having with this project are finding a welder who won't charge me $500+ to weld a few places to mount an engine (I never knew how much money those guys made until I started asking them for quotes, godddamn!) and finding a way to mount a scooter engine on a bicycle or moped, due to frame space and such.
For the project I have so far for possible use:
150cc and 50cc gy6 engines
a brand new long output shaft to put into the final gears
a moped with 16 inch wheels
a bicycle with 21 inch wheels
a couple boxes of spare parts from gy6 engines from engine pieces to carbs and wheels
lots of time, very little money
