First off, Bigair, just get going making a bunch of powerwheels for grown-ups.
I tell you, it's sooooo frigging much fun hanging out with family and friends of both sexes even.
Riding powerwheels build for adults, it's just such a hoot, because it seems so ridiculous riding a kiddie toy, that everybody no matter the age or boy/girl issue, can relate to the fun and enjoyment in it !
And as far as i can tell, you have the right recipie for the perfect setup !
Just remember 2 things i did wrong/spent a lot of time on, trying to perfect the first time:
1. In on-road gokarts you sit with very bend knees, don't waste a lot of time trying to make the power wheel fit you better, like it was a real car, riding it with your knees side-by-side your elbows also is a part of the "ridiculous-fun-factor" ;o)
2. Make sure you still keep a low centre of gravity, even though lifting it, because at some point, someones "hillariousness" (hope you understand what i mean) will take over, and the person in the vehicle will drive it so foolishly that they risk flipping it over... And its not easy putting a working roll-bar on such a small vehicle, and still make it look good, i tried, didn't work.
A little bit of background on me, before my actual question:
Originally i was an automechanic, even worked like a fullytrained for a few years, after finishing the danish 4-year apprenticeship mechanic education, but gave it up. Then took a bunch of courses, and worked as a certified welder for some years allover the world, gave that up like just half a year ago, though.
Due to prior education on primarily 4-stroke cars and vehicles, and from my experience working with e.g generator-powered welding and in some cases diving equipment, on both on- and off-shore projects, i guess i'm kinda partial to 4-strokes at any time !
I think they're much more reliable and they have loads of torque, compared to physical size and RPM's of a similar-displacement and physical sized 2-strokes, also the cooling i think, is never as much an issue with 4-strokes, mostly i guess, because they run at significantly lower RPM's.
You seem to preffer 2-strokes, or have i misunderstood something, the Honda Trail are 2-strokes aren't they ?!
As for the power wheel in this topic, we allready know it runs a 2-stroke.
Also as i understand it, you work with 2-strokes proffesionally, or maybe, again, i've misunderstood something ?!
If im guessing right however, you're like a "2-stroke kinda-guy".
If so, i would very much like to hear your personal thoughts and experiences, with 2-strokes, maybe there could be a point in trying these out for size in my upcomming projects !
I know it's kinda off-topic for this thread, but would just really appreciate to get a little info, from someone who, if i'm guessing correct, really knows his way around these engines and their bennefits, before i begin starting up a project or 2 based on such.
Kind regards, Flash.
as I bet top speed would be 35MPH or better with the current gearing.
