Not enough torque. I'm working on the plans for a cycle powered vehicle but it will be scratch built. All light 4130 bird cage tubing and aluminum or glas skin.
Your asking that cycle engine to move a tremedous amount of weight compared to it's design intent. It would probably work fine until you tried to pull a hill and had to shift down a couple of clicks. First the stress on the engine would require alot more throttle, ie. more fuel. And that would likely be the end of the clutch. |
