Shameless self bump

>>28075391
I'd love to have a small bike with an engine I could use wood alcohol to run. I feel like that would be handy if SHTF.

>>28075432
I think there are a lot of advantages for small cheap diy vehicles in a shtf scenario.

Might as well be a back breaker anon. (or maybe they dont go fast at all)

With road blocks and needing to cover tough terrain a motorbike would be almost essential to any escape or recon ops.

Something larger like a U-Haul would be easily modified for more protection if you were running supplies (Although an armored bank truck would be better for that role if yoh can find some)

Eventually anything that ran would be worthbits weight in gold (in a total collapse scenario)

>30 mph top speed

>>28076476
Yeah, typically 35mph or less, keep in mind that particular pic is the 1960's model. The newer ones got suspention, and they sell upgrade kits for the older models (most of which are still running)

Ultimate SHTF bike.

With a 50cc engine top speed is 30mph (you can get 110cc or 140cc engines though)
Drive train is set up so you can bepal it while the motor is running, people say that unlike most motorized bicycles, the engine doesnt produce drag when not engaged so if you run out of fuel you arent stuck pushing a motorcycle.

Can get em for 1,900 bucks.

>>28076722
Correction, the 1900 thing was an expired promo deal. Its like 2,300 now.

>>28076722

E-bikes are going to become really good for it, too. Much quieter.

>>28076722
>>28076458
Looks like some great options if I wasn't such a poor fag

>>28076722
I want one

>>28076895
Yeah, and lets just say the happening happened, you are going to your bug out site, and you think the robo-ATF might be in the area. Shut off the engine and you can run silent by pedaling.

Im envisioning a setup where you strap an ammo box, a pack, and a rifle rack on there and have the whole kit n' caboodle be your bugout kit.
