Bicycle Engines - Be the Envy of your Neighborhood!

I love to travel, but I also love to be ”as close to nature” as possible.

One of my favorite places in the world is Death Valley and I’ve been planning a motorcycle trip out there for a long time. Here’s the problem: I don’t own a motorcycle.

Motorcycles are also large and noisy.

Voila! Enter the motorized bicycle.

You probably aren’t even aware such a product exists, but for under $500 you can equip your bicycle with a very hearty ~50cc engine. This engine is capable of going 150 miles on a single gallon of gas and it get you up to a heart racing, 35 mph! (That’s really fast on a bicycle - trust me.)

Motorized Bicycles are popular in other parts of the world and are sure to become a huge success in the U.S. as well. The bike’s are surprisingly easy to operate: you have a clutch that enables you to drive the bike just as you normally would. When you want to use power from the engine simply release the clutch and the engine springs to life. If you want to turn it off, there is a conveniently located kill switch.
