/diy/ or /t/ are better suited for that question

voltage = horsepower
Wh or Ah = gas tank

go 36v. 48v if you can afford it. anything less is going to be shit for you.

you want twist or thumb throttle and NO pedal assist bullshit as your foots fucked.

also, buy an ATV or similar, retard.

Why not get down on a 50cc scooter if you don't want to pedal but aren't ready to go full motorcycle?

Otherwise those gas motors would be much better than strapping a ton of batteries onto the bicycle. Just make sure you check with local laws because if cops are dicks near you then you can get fucked because they might be able to classify it as a motorcycle and require you to do everything a 1000cc motorcycle would have to do to be street legal.

You could buy a dirt bike if noise isn't a issue

price has gone down, I would suggest a 1kw hub motor front and rear. one would be enough, but it would be shitty if those chinese electrics failed.

Also, that picture is HILARIOUS

Go to Ebay, buy a motorized bicycle kit, comes with everything you need to stick a motor to a cheap mountian bike, uses fuckin barely any fuel and less than $200 if you get a second hand bike.

I got an 80cc one the other day

I've seen a few people use weed whacker motors on their bicycles. Seems to work really well.

Electric bikes hardly do shit when they're a fully assembled package.

Putting on an aftermarket motor ain't gonna do much. If anything, look into the 2-stroke engine kits, those have a bit more torque.

Don't buy a shit bike, you'll regret it, just in general. They break really fast if they aren't already mostly broken by the time you buy them. I made some spare cash building bikes for walmart during xmas, and it was terrible. The person who figures out how to turn that shit into a class action lawsuit will make bank.

If you're a fatass, especially don't buy a shit bike. You're putting extra stress on the system and it'll fuck up even sooner. Not trying to be a dick, just don't want you to get hurt or waste money. I weight 210 and can easily destroy a shitbike in a week- on roads.

Best of luck. Sorry to not offer many solutions.

You're right, I should get a 2-stroke kit. It's technically illegal where I live, but the cops will probably ignore it if I don't act like a moron with it.

good job

Electric bikes will not get you anywhere off trail. An ATV or dirt bike would work, seeing as that is what they are made for but electric bikes are really just cruise control for cyclists. It won't pull you up a hill but it will maintain your speed on a flat road

i see people riding up hills in san francisco using the electric pedal assist bikes no problem. Watched a messenger guy riding a bike with a tiny wacker motor haul ass by me today. I think it depends on how fast you want to travel..
