Omg.

Just seen a teenager going racing by on our estate with a petrol engine on a mountain bike. No helmit and no consideration for speed or the noise.

Full Set 100cc Bicycle Motor Kit. Motorized 2 Stroke Petrol Gas Engine conversion kit...

Is this going to be the next craze which will bring more attention to the bike community. Plod won't like this!

Nowhere in the blurb does it mention legality or otherwise. It also keeps saying that it's a way to covert your bike to an electric bike?!!!o_O
At that price I can see there being a few around. 45-50kph on a bike with dodgy rim brakes.....yeh, lets all have some.
Hopefully they make so much noise the police will zero in on them and leave us quiet regular guys alone.

There's a lot around me. I would totally 10000% build one if I was a teenager. It looks hilarious.

Of course, I'm a respectable 46 year old, and most people can't even tell my bike is electric!

Kids eh?
