I’m new to the motorized bicycle world - regarding the Minarelli Vertical Cylinder kit, I have some questions: 1. What motor does the Minarelli Vertical Cylinder kit fit on? 2. How much does the Minarelli Vertical Cylinder kit cost, and do you also sell the complete motor with the Minarelli kit installed? If so, how much is it? 3. I plan on mounting the motor on my Cannondale aluminum-frame road bike, which has a down tube 51mm in diameter, and a seat tube 32mm in diameter (the two frame tubes to which the motor would mount). Would these dimensions present a motor mounting problem? 4. Dumb question of the month: my Cannondale has a 3-chainwheel front (bottom bracket) gearset, and a 7-cog rear wheel hub gearset. Has anyone successfully mounted a gasoline motor in the Vee of the tubes, and still managed to use the derailleur gears of the front (bottom bracket) gears and/or the rear wheel hub gears? Thanks - your videos are the best on the subject on KZbin. Bart Brown

Guy named Don butler charging $750 for a china doll with falcon 911 cylinder and saf clutch. These people are crazy charging that much when we can get an engine 10 times better plus cheaper from Ethan or Ryan. Best deals around compared to anyone. Especially these back yards builders on the Facebook groups. I understand trying to make money but $750 for a china doll you can build yourself for half the cost is ridiculous.
