[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3813527, member: 15054"] The chain hook up thing was my first thought and I robbed parts off another multi speed bicycle but the chain on those are not solid they will slack up and too many idlers would be needed as I would need to twist the chain 3/4 of the way around the gear. I tried that for 2 hours and gave up. This was just for test purposes and I drove it up and down the street a dozen times to work out bugs. Final attempt will house the batteries in a box or welded cage. Need a different kick stand also. I get the bike going about 5 mph and then flip the light switch on the handle bars to apply juice to the motor otherwise it will spin against the tire for a bit. [/QUOTE]
