125 or smaller conversion - Build started, pg3
I am about to start a conversion of a small motorcycle for my daily commute.
My base bike will be a 125 or smaller (currently got my eye on a honda h100)
I weigh 55kgs and my target range is 30miles. My commute has one hill that I see could be a problem, for 1/4 of a mile. Speed wise 60 would be nice, but will likely aim for 40mph. Lead acid batteries will be the batteries of choice, atleast to begin with.
I guess my question, (which is likely a very common and annoying one, so I apologise), is what sort of motor can I get away with for such a set up?
This is to be a budget bike, so I can save my fuel money to tackle a more financed build.
Ideally my motor budget would have been £100 (you can laugh don't worry)
I have been trawling ebay, but the only thing I have really found was only 620w Emoteq, which does not sound anywhere near the mark?
Aslong as I can (just) burn off a moped still I will be happy
Any suggestions / criticism would be appreciated
Many Thanks
Jimmy
