Motorized bikes, the future of transportation

The concept of Motorized bikes is not very new but it is gaining lot of popularity with time. With the rise in the prices of fuel, the concept of Motorized bikes seems to be excellent. These bikes are the future of transportation and a way of calling attention to "green living". They will not only reduce the cost of transportation but will also save a lot of money in the long run.


Instead of getting your car out for visiting a store near you, you can use Motorized bikes and travel without thinking about spending money on fuel. Another interesting thing is that you can easily turn your normal bicycle into a Motorized bike by adding a motor to it. It is not very hard to convert the bicycle all you need to do is get an engine and some tools. An engine will cost you a few dollars and all you need to do is to fix it using common tools.

However you need to consider a few things before you buy motorized bikes or convert your bicycle into one.

The first thing that you need to ask yourself is how much you are going to use the Motorized bikes. Do you want to ride it as a hobby or you want to ride it to work? What is the terrain of the area you live in? Is it flat or hilly? You need to ask yourself these questions before you take a decision as it will affect your choice. 

Another thing that you will have to decide is what type of engine you want. There are options like belt drives, friction drives and chain drives.  Each of these has its own positives and negatives. The most secure ones are chain drives as they will work just like normal bikes. Friction drives are also a nice option as they are very sturdy.


The same is with belt drivers, even though both belt and friction drivers slip in wet weather.

Depending on the size of the engine you will be able to speed up to 20 to 40 miles per hour. That might not sound a lot but when you are riding a bike it is pretty fast! Finally get to know about rules regarding the engine size of Motorized bikes in your area however if the engine size is less than 50cc you can use it without a license.  Once you are done with all this just buy one for yourself and for family members and ride away!
