Unfortunately the post is hidden, but i have a couple of "special needs" lol. Would like to cycle still, but have a motor to lend a hand.


Honda PC50? Like a C50, but with pedals aswell:

I'm pretty sure that the pedals are only really used for starting the engine though. Something like that would be a bit heavy to ride on pedals alone.

Not just starting it, also used to negotiate any slight incline Laughing

Definitely.

I could keep a steady 30mph up a steep hill if I pedalled my Raleigh aswell Laughing

Anyone know where to pick a nice decent one up for? How much do they fetch these days?

Rather late, but...
I was looking at making a Triumph 675 shaped push bike until I broke my leg (still may do it, though!)
I had an R6 front end on a push bike and to simulate the extra weight on the rear, added 40kg of weights through the frame. Total weight was 74kg I think. Ok, I had a lot more gears, but I managed to get it up the very, very steep hill behind my house, as well as generally ride it around.
