I first discovered motorized
bicycles after
my son mentioned he wanted
to get a dirt
bike. Obviously, dirt bikes
and a motorized
bicycles are the not the
same thing but looking
around on a couple of websites
gave me the
inspiration to build my
first motorized bicycle.
I have always enjoyed bicycle
riding but
have not been able to do
it as much because
of various back problems.
My motorized bicycle
has allowed me to continue
to ride and to
“ride in style.”
My first step was to purchase
an Electra
Towie 21D 7-Speed bicycle.
I decided on this
particular bike after a
bit of research on
motorized bicycles and
it seemed to be the
top selection of most bikes
(and I must say
that I agree!). I then
proceeded to add a
Robin/Subaru EH035 35CCH-Stroke,
26 inch
Rear Wheel 105 gauge spokes
and HTF G Ears
#11 Belts (which allow
me to go up hills
easier).

I have spent months building my bike and
am still finding new ways to improve it.
In fact, I have built a second one! My family
has come to love these bicycles too. I can
get both my bikes up to 28-30 mph and can
ride either of them continually for about
4-5 hours. They allow me to have a project
to work on at home as well as an activity
to do outdoors that I can look forward to
every weekend. I have thoroughly enjoyed
building and riding these bicycles of mine.
It has become a wonderful hobby and I hope
you enjoy it as much as I do! |
