Answer
Yes, but it stinks, is loud and is ugly. People will give you looks. Also when the thing inevitably breaks down or runs out of gas you have a deadweight on your bike.

Cycling is actually very easy if you use your gears well. Checkout Sheldon Brown [link below] for some expert advice on how to get the most of your gears.

If you are intent on being lazy or maybe have a good reason for assisted cycling I'd recommend an electric assist. These can be added to the hub of a modified wheel pretty easily. And the electricity is tiny compared to the price of gas. There are some pretty slick systems. The most important part is a nice battery that is long lasting. I think the new Lithion-Ion batteries are lighter and better (but not cheaper)

Try the renaissance electric bikes company, they can help you out.

How can I make a 9 Volt alert for a battery powered wheelchair.?




Dennis


I use a battery powered wheelchair to get around in. I live in a senior/assisted living home and I use a elevator often. At times I need to back out of the elevator and I can not see behind me. Also at times other people are just standing around blocking my path. I don't want anything really loud.. just enough to be heard.


Answer
Instead of going through all the trouble of buying, installing and wiring a horn like this, buy yourself a bicycle horn, it mounts very easy and you can get the sound that you want...
