A powered bicycle. I made one with a 30cc. 18 might be a bit small though

i dont think it would be worth it to build a bike with an 18cc. you would have to be geared to like 5 mph

i think you can make a scooter with it

Portable air compressor?

Should be in the shop...
You could have a powered bike, but you would need pedals too, so just use it as an assist.
Would probably be terrible though! Maybe a motorised scooter or skateboard.

To small
I actually thought about a portable fan, but breathing two stroke exhaust would not be fun.
Unless I used a squirrel cage fan.
I might just take it apart and look at the tiny piston.
Wrenching is always a learning experiance, and I haven't taken a two stroke apart yet.

The first time I took my weedeater apart I was surprised how small the piston was. It nearly looked cute....

Hahaaa, that made me laugh landuse!
As r_chez already stated, a motorized skateboard or small scooter?
I might dig into in later today, take the plastic off ans such.
I might try to stick it on a bike still, I have a 10 speed that has a fairly large gear on the wheel. so a small gear onto that would make an 8 speed bike, with a little extra coasting power.
Found this in my researching on this motor:

Makes around 1hp.

Haha, after rebuilding a couple of honda gx160/200 motors, the piston of my honda g100 83cc looked small. Can't imagine how small the 18cc one is!
it will make a decent "assist" to a bicycle but not likely do any pulling on its own...you'll have to pedal, but that extra 1hp will make you feel like superman.
the engines used in that link have standard centrifugal clutches, you'll likely need to fabricate a roller attachment for your weedeater engine. imo, a chain drive would eat up a lot of power with such a small engine, maybe not so bad if you integrate it into a freewheel crank tho.
(18cc is less than 4 teaspoons of water)
