An 80cc 2-stroke motor can be attached to a mountain bike for those tired of waiting for eMTB batteries to charge. This setup provides an entertaining and chaotic ride experience, filled with the loud buzz of a motor. However, it could lead to potential legal issues, as traditional laws against eMTBs and pedal-assist bikes likely apply to this motorized setup. While amusing to implement, this modification recalls a more reckless time in a person's youth.
The internet is packed with bolt-on e-bike kits, but if you don't want to wait for the battery to charge for each ride and you'd rather mix up some 2-stroke gas and hit the trails with the chaotic buzz of a motor between your legs, then this is the answer.
With this hack, you can leave the bell at home because there's no way other trail users won't hear you coming as you grip the throttle and send it into the local jump line or single track.
While it's not uncommon to see eMTBs and pedal-assist bikes banned from specific trail systems, the same rules likely apply to a 2-stroke motor bolted onto your pedal bike.
The idea is fun to watch, and takes me back to days before my frontal lobe was fully developed.
