How to make a bicycle / b a moped "class =" colorbox imagefield imagefield-imagelink "> Before making a moped, buy an engine or remove it from an old moped. If this is not possible, then remove the engine from a standard lawn mower. the engine must have a power of at least two horsepower, since a less weak one simply will not budge the vehicle
Step 2
Choosing a pulley on the engine. The material for making the pulley can be a regular rim 5-6 cm smaller than the rim of a bicycle wheel. Once the pulley is ready, attach the motor to the wheel using a drive. The drive belt will transmit rotation from the motor to the wheel, so inspect it carefully for breaks.
Step 3
If you do not want to install the motor by welding, then secure it with three clamps. Before attaching the motor, make a base for attaching it by welding it from sheet steel. The thickness of the steel sheet should be 3, 5 - 4 mm. Next, secure the motor to the base, and the base, in turn, to the moped frame. If necessary, you can remove the engine at any time.

Put an electric motor on a homemade moped, and then, even if you are not a professional cyclist, you can ride at a speed of 25-35 km / h. The electric motor is powered by a rechargeable battery. Its output voltage must be at least 1-48 Volts. To fully charge the battery, plug it in for 8 hours.
