I've just got to fit the "carb", (that's the little thing on the floor) the plug, fuel pipe, add some fuel/oil and I'll be on the road.

Can't wait till the first start.

what engine are you running looks like a beb to me.

I thought you needed to register,tax,mot and insure this type of thing before it could be used on the public roads?

is that not the case ?

In this country yes but looking where he is from maybe not

that's a 49cc crate engine straight out of China. The quality is pretty suspect, but the whole kit cost approx £150, so it's got to be worth it.

As far as I can see all I need here in South Africa is a cycle helmit, it does not need to be registered/taxed/or even have lights.

It's like a Locost American Chopper!

I'll post up a youtube clip once I get it running.
