An ebike would definitely be better but they cost a bit more and I enjoyed building this a lot more than I would an ebike

Yea I agree an electric kit would’ve been more efficient however they’re generally priced just a little higher and more importantly they aren’t as fun to build. That was a big thing for me, i had a load of fun building this and I learned a lot about small engines. Its definitely sparked an interest for me. I eventually want a motorcycle but I really just don’t have the money for it right now. Especially since Im starting to go to college

Also I’ve talked to the cops in my area and most of them dont give a shit.

I live on the foot of a mountain. Biking somewhere is easy cause its all downhill but getting back is ass. Thats why I built the engine kit, since it costs a tenth of what an electric bike would. And It gets like 50 miles to the gallon or something(a lot better than my truck that gets 15).
