Im looking for a bike that i can just ride to and from school and go around town on which would be best and whats the difference between these bikes?



Answer
Mountain bikes are designed for off road trails. Many people buy mountain bikes & ride them strictly on the streets - dumb. Road bikes are designed for strictly the streets, designed to go fast, but usually not very comfortable. Electric bikes are designed for people that need a little extra help getting uphill. Tandem bikes are a bicycle built for two. Fun, but takes some practice before the 2 riders get into sync.

A cruiser is different than a comfort bike. It usually has but one gear, sometimes 3. Often called beach cruisers because that's where they originated...on the boardwalk of beaches to ride on flat land - not needing any gears.

Comfort & Hybrid bikes are similar. The main difference being a comfort bike usually has the traditional 26" tires. Hybrids have taller & thinner 700C tires that roll easier & go a bit faster. Hybrid bikes have become very popular because they are versatile. You sit in a comfortable upright position, have many gears to handle hills, yet can go slightly off road on trails of packed earth or finely crushed gravel/stone. With a hybrid, you're basically getting a combination of a road bike, a mountain bike & a comfort bike. The best of all three. That's what I ride & recommend for most people looking for an all around good bike.

How do you put a chain driven motor on a bike with suspension?

I was thinking about putting a motor on an electric motocross bike so it goes faster, the only problem is is that the motorbike has suspension in the back and I was wondering if a chain driven motor can be mounted so when I hit a bump with the suspension the chain won't pop off or become stressed.


Answer
Get your rpm ratios (drive to driven) figured out first. This may be a non-starter. You would be better off using a belt drive with a slip clutch pulley mounted on the drive shaft. Then ratios are not a big issue because the belt slips enough to give you variable and workable ratios as you vary the clutch tension.. A cobbled up chain drive can be bad news. Too much stress and it breaks. That could tear your leg open. As for the suspension, the idea would be to have new things follow the exact path and position as the old.things. If that is not possible, then you will need someone who can cut, reposition and weld. By the time that is done, you may wish you had just sold the bike and bought a bike with a gas engine. Back in the day, we did this with bicycles. Our rear wheel pulley was a second rim welded on the rear tire rim.
