The video makes me think it's very loud and the pictures make me think it will only work on some bikes. Cheap though!

just what america needs, fat people riding bikes... think about what good you are doing your body and our environment by powering the bike yourself. You are lazy if you buy this.

Earlier posts on this have expressed concerns of spare part availability. Has anyone found a place to get spare parts? Pretty cheap for the motor, could be useful for other projects besides making you look like a tool while riding your bike...

#8, who give a rat of spare parts when spare motor replacement is more than the kit.

Be forewarned- Any engine over 50cc's is considered a motorized vehicle. You can get a DUI on your bike if it has one of these on it.
That's why they all sell 49cc versions. For drunks. Like (presumably) us.

engine size is a technicality when it comes to dui, you can get a dui on a unicycle if you so choose.

A quick search revealed that 80cc engines like this can range from 2.4 to 6.5hp. That's a big swing!
Anyone know how many hp this one is rated for? If it's on the high end of that scale it would be kind of fun to fark around with...

Not only do these burn motor oil in addition to gas, they have no catalytic converter system, so the exhaust emitted is much worse than cars which have full exhaust / muffler systems.
