i want an assisted operation bike so i need to be able to pedal as well as ride with the motor. does anyone know a way i can do that on one wheel? double ratchet systems or something?

i found that just using a dimmer switch works just as well as a speed control as long as i'm on ac. so a trickle dc ac converter with a dimmer for cost effectiveness... what size battery should i get?

i'm making an electric assist bike cart coimbo thing with my dad, and i have an old electric lawnmower motor and an old bike and two sets of wheels. basing ot off this design kinda http://www.popsci.com/diy/article/2012-08/you-built-what-electric-assist-chopper-style-bicycle i need help on how...

speed controls are overrated... just sayin. i've used just dimmer switches, standard from a hardware store on 120 volt ac motors, and you can just run them on the eighteen volt bvatteries for cordless drills and stuff, and wire a few in series. no need to buy a real expensive speed control...
