Assuming it has a centrifugal clutch it shouldn't be too hard to weld on a mounting and a couple of sprockets and have it chain driven.

The man has a point, even dinky powered scooters have at least 1 hp... you're going to need quite a low gear ratio. Either that or you can dispense with gears completely, have the motor drive a grooved shaft that turns the wheel by direct contact with the tyre.lukemc wrote:im pretty sure that a little half horse power 2 stroke chain saw engine isnt going to get you and your bike going any where fast....

I'm keeping my opinion that this will be a screaming metal death trap, but it will be cool to see something like this work.

I've seen bikes powered by turbine engines the size of your palm, so I don't see why a chainsaw engine wouldn't work. Also, keep in mind that two stroke engines have twice as many power strokes as four strokes, so less horsepower but more torque. (I think I have that right someone feel free to correct me if I have it backwards)

I had plans to do this with a lawn mower engine a while ago.
I was gonna put the engine right where the crank is (under the seat near the rear tire). I was gonna attach the sprocket that I had removed from the crank to the driveshaft of the engine and then put the engine in the correct area so the sprocket was where it used to be.
Too many flaws and stuff came up so I never did it.

i recomend building one from scratch or at least from a frame that is ment to cary a engine mounting a big enough one on a bike would be very trickymopherman wrote:what would you reccomend?
if you can weld make one if you cant find someone who can and design it all out with some where to put a good size lawn mower engine
something like this
