E-Trike Kick Starter Project.

Hi All,

Did a test run with the hybrid system running and got 15 miles at 20mph on 10oz of gasoline.

The small 2-stroke engine is a 25cc and about 1hp with a 48v10a@3000 rpm to drive the E-Bike.

Comes out to be about 192mpg.

TommeyLReed I think it would be great too if you add an ultrasonic gasoline vaporizer to your motor.

Hi Spirit,

If I was using a 4-stroke engine then that would be a great idea, but this is a 2-stroke that need mixed oil/gas.

If I use a vapor carb on this engine, it would last just a few minutes before it burns up the rings and lock up to be thrown away.

Hi tommy, awesome job on your tadpole trike.
My suggestion for another thing to add, fully enclosed fairing, taking into consideration the engine noise and exhaust with fairing.
This way you could attach solar panels to it and be protected from rain and cold.
peace love light
