Project Board Track Racer

Introduction to a project to design and build a 1915 styled American Board Track Racer powered by both petrol engine and electric motor - hybrid powered. It is in rat rod style ie rusty - a barn find!

Have begun gathering the components for my build. I will be buying the engine this week. I have the bike already. This is going to be fun. Riding the finished product will be more fun than the build.

Nice project. I'm building one with a 98cc 4 stroke lawn mower engine. I've posted a few videos on my KZbin channel

You’ve got an old bike with a new frame don’t fake it it’s cool just like it is

Nice build, but isn't it ridiculous that you cannot use the gasoline engine directly?

[@cricriandprojects]

Yes, but it adds to the complexity of the challenge. However when I tension the belt connecting motor to transmission there is some contribution to drive power (albeit illegal) and the amperage use drops. If I keep the current draw below 5 amps the battery remains fully charged. The electric motor is far more powerful than the petrol engine anyway.

Any updates?

Have been distracted on another project for months, but just back in the racer yesterday. Update soon. W

Its a Bicycle ,not even close to being a Racer. I'm going to paint my lawnmower red and call it a Ferrari.
