Re: OH SHOOT!

Actually I think something like the weed Whacker motors of 23 to 36 cc might
work. BUT the one that I have (not modified for bike work by the way) would
have to be fitted with a much quieter muffler to make it work for me! Power
assist (there is that NASTY idea again!) can be a good idea, but sometimes
adds too much complexity! I have been wrestling with this idea for a long
time. PA or no PA? Gas or electric? something else? pros and cons?
simplicity vs complexity?
If you change ONE thing you change EVERYTHING!
