 @a9bc9943 what a creative way to kill oneself 
 @2eaaf069 I want to put a 4 stroke engine on my mountain bike, turning it into a moped.  It sounds fun. 
 @a9bc9943 this is one of the few cases where electric propulsion makes more sense than the alternatives, both to preserve your hearing and for performance 
 I wonder what off the shelf motors would be best… electric chainsaw? 
 @Terry Hendrix II 🏹 @a9bc9943 generic hub motor conversion kit from chiner I'd wager 
 That seems kinda boring. 
 @2eaaf069 Sure but electric bike companies are scumbags like tesla that want you to not repair your product, and can't do simple things like balance the charging of your cells and not catch on fire.  Plus you need to sell your testicles to even be able to afford one.

Gas engine kit is like $100-$200
