ok, I have been thinking about this for a couple days.

Has anyone thought of using a regular V motor from say a Harley? I know they can put out 130hp and about the same for torque.

The only thing I think that could be an issue would be the belt drive transmision.

I like the idea of the lightness of the bike motor but they seem to have low amounts of torque. (Ya i'm a V8 guy and like torque). I have never seen a bike motor locost let alone rode in one.

Any info on this would be great thanks!

Hi,

This has been covered already quite recently. See http://forum.locostbuilders.co.uk/xmb/viewthread.php?tid=6609

Cheers,

Neil.

Harley lumps are bloody expensive too

Opps, sorry about that. Guess I could have done a search.

I didnt even know about these cars when that was posted (hell I wasnt even Marryed yet! :p )
