Q. I just recently bought an electric bicycle and i live in toronto, do i need a license to use it??
yeah i heard that since its electric and doesnt have a motor, that it doesnt count as a car - its considered a bike or something


Answer
No, and if you drink and drive, please don't hit any old ladies.

How can I make a relatively cheap motorized bicycle with either electric or gas motor?

I'm looking far into the future for a summer project and am thinking of trying to put together a motorized bicycle from home parts. I've been searching the net trying to find some guidance, just so I don't kill myself, but I'm having difficulties. I'm searching for ANY help, plans, possible parts, past experience, anything. Thanks!

Answer
Motorizing isn't the problem. The problem is that there isn't a bicycle out there that is safe at a speed faster than what you can pedal and mostly because of the poor quality of the brakes with which they're equipped. When I was stationed in 'Nam they had some hybrid bicycles which you started off pedaling and then pulled a lever which dropped a small motor down so the small wheel on the motors output shaft contacted the front wheel of the bike and turned it. Even though it had a better braking system than a standard bike I saw a lot of young ladies (which was mostly what rode them) taking some real nasty spills when they couldn't stop in time at intersections.
Also a buddy of mine, back in the early 50's had a motor bike which was built by the Schwinn Corp. It used a belt drive on the rear and had decent brakes, similar to a motor cycles.
