Hi Wayne , steering on these is always an issue, the linkage setup is a bit primitive and the fact both rear wheels drive at once means tight turns are a problem. As for the bike motor I assume you are not planning on using it with a cutting deck and running the drive by chain to the rear axle?
250cc should have plenty of power because you can use the gearbox as opposed to the direct drive of the original design, just think ATV's they don't have big motors
Thanks for the great reply Norm, you always bring something to the conversation.
Deck will still be fitted, it will not be functional as i am thinking i will mount the exhaust/muffler under the deck. This can possibly hide it from view, just thinking it may be loud mounted there though?
Correct on the chain to the rear axle. Again, some thought needs to be put into this, i am unsure if it will be one chain or if i will need a intermediate shaft then second chain to the rear axle. Thoughts based on distance and possibly chain angles.
Yes, i want to fit a motorcycle engine to a ride on but i am in no way building this for power or speed.
