1. where do you live
2. Is the peg you connected to the engine like a bike peg?
3. Great build, I enjoyed it.
   I wonder if you couldn't get all weather traction by knurling the motor shaft.
   You may also try putting rubber shrink tubing on the knurled shaft, for rubber on rubber traction.
   It would also be replaceable when it wears out.
   I also wonder if you can't get a few more degrees of clearance for the motor to the seat, by mounting the support forks upside down.
4. if you glue a piece of rubber like a tire tube on the spindle you may get a better grip in the rain.
5. I love the way you went out for your initial test of your highly-experimental and ( sorry, but I've got to say it ) mediocre design without so much as the most rudimentary safety gear. There's an old saying from experienced cyclists. "No helmet but it's okay because there's nothing of value to protect with one". Picture your head detached from your body. Drop it from the height at which your head is located riding this bicycle onto a non-resilient surface---like a wet road. What effect do you think this is likely to have on your brain? At best you'd probably experience a mild concussion. That's the best-case scenario. There are many situations on a bicycle where some or all of the forward momentum can be converted to a higher velocity through a sort of whipping action if your front tire/rim gets trapped in a crack or the wrong sort of storm-drain grate. While it's true many communities have attempted to idiot-proof their storm drains even those type grates are damaged by traffic and may become contact-patch traps. You can die ------easily. Or; you may wind up in a veggie-ward the rest of your life expecting the rest of us who take reasonable precautions to work our asses off to subsidize your new career as a profit-center for a nursing-home operator.
   
   But I will say this. You are eminently qualified for a job as a project manager at L.G. or if you'd like to get some training in electrical issues you could move right up the ladder in any typical electrical power utility.
6. I bet if you put rubber like a bike inner tube over the peg it would get pretty good traction even in the rain.
7. Submit this series to any college with an engineering department.
8. suggestion...put the attachment of the linkage running from your clutch lever to motor much closer to the pivot point on the lever. more like an inch or two from the pivot bolt. that way it'd only lift the motor a little bit which is all you need and then you could retain the springs at the back seeing you'd have a lot more leverage on your clutch lever to overcome the springs, and you wouldnt be needing to stretch the springs nearly so far. Just an inch or so. It's in the geometry.
9. In rain you weren't getting the traction you needed between the tire and motor instead of useing springs to hold tention I've seen guys use turn buckles to adjust the tention on the tire that may help you
10. good job bro
11. Kits are so much better I think cause this thing he is building it too slow
12. Love it! O want to build one meself now that I know howcl to do it :) 
13. Works great I'm building one with my dad 
14. You make good videos 
15. cool :)
16. Not really sure why this is only in 360p should be in HD sorry 'bout that.
