2004 - A motor added to a bicycle
requires balance,
strength and safety.  The strongest mounting point on a bicycle is not the frame but rather the pedal area. Don't be put off with the idea that everything has already been done. Give yourself some joy in life and go at a concept from your viewpoint. Design it Again. Case in point: Motorbicycle This one took three prototypes to make before the final design took shape. Four different methods of getting the power from the engine to the bicycle were tried before finding one that would work. If you think there must be a better way to do something, do it. This year 2013, nine years later:  The orange carburetor cover mounting areas broke and I'm studying a method to secure it back on. Been riding with it off for now. The left foot rest is narrower than the right to make it easier to put foot on the ground when stopped. The motorbicyle leans left when stopped.  motorbicycle front April 2013 I would encourage anyone to attempt to recreate something that they think "has already been done before". Just because someone else did it, doesn't mean you can't get some enjoyment out of taking a fresh approach to the same item too. The enjoyment is in the designing and making it work. To help you find the time: see (close that window or tab to get back here) Here's some of the one's I had fun with: One of a kind 5 ft. high bed frame One of a kind storage tank for toilet water One of a kind motorbicycle One of a kind patio bench Rackcycle Bag Carrier for Bicycles "Twopopson" Bicycle hand shield Upgrading Bicycle lubrication point Try my innovative way to make a cup of fresh brewed coffee: see here "An ability to create "what hasn't been done before" or enhancing the "already in use".
