Secma Funtech 50 to 125 Project

Its classed as a moped, says so on the V5 too...

 

What a joke. arc: Seriously.. :msn1:

 

must be so fun that lol, how do the brakes work? do you have a front/back brake? could drive it flat out, keep the throttle on, slam on front brakes n spin it round lol

couldnt you just get a sheet of perspex and make a windscreen

if this was mine id look for a 12v heater that runs off a fag lighter, imagine that on a cold frosty day, mmm, cushty

 

stop being so narrow minded man

open your imagination too all the possibilities of a 172 engine

 

if i was u i would try and put 4 wheels on it and try and make it so u can make both wheels spin drift lol

 

get a runner engine and make it a drift motor!

 

or get 2 runner motors and mount them side by side.....

 

gotta say i love this idea xD

 

makesure you get tints when its on road.........dark tints

 

I've never thought of that, could be a pain in the arse to get both engine running somewhere near the same though. I reckon I'm going to try a typh 125 engine in it 1st and see how it goes, going to be a right pain creating the wiring for 2 engines :wtf:

 

thats simple, all you need is the running electrics on one motor and leave the lights and everything for the other, they would need to be exactly the same or it would pull to one side, but would still be funny to drive

 

Do you reckon if I used 2 standard Typhoon 125 engines they should both be matched enough to work with this, I can't see the throttle side of things being to much trouble as I could just run a splitter, rear brake cable could be fun though.

 

2 standard typh motors will still be different, there are always differences in case casting, barrel lining etc. minute differences will cause one motor to be slightly quicker and therefore the bike/car/thing willl pull to one side.

 

not forgetting the fact that the air intakes will be in different positions, thus atmospheric differences will cause one to run faster then the other, its tiny things but even if 1 motor is pulling 1mph faster through acceleration, thats 1mph worth of countersteering from you.

what would be cool is if you set it up like a pod racer from star wars, 2 throttles, 2 motors, 1 for steering left, one for steering right, no need for a steering column then.

can just ease off the right nad power on the left to turn right and vice versa, power both to go forward.

doubtful to be MOT worthy but would be a fucking fun project.

 

I think I'll just stick with a single engine, I remember seeing a slider or something done as a trike with 2 engines, might be worth trying to find it again and see how that was done. Failing that I think it would be best just to stick a standard typh in it to get it back on the road in the summer.

 

Had to fabricate a cradle for the NRG engine that was originally planned, now quite a few useful people so stuff like that shouldn't be a problem, its just the brakes and electrical side of things I'd struggle with.

 

Cheers Minor,
I'm starting to understand what was meant with the electrics, you reckon with the 2 engines it could be roadworthy?
What would I do about the breaks as it has a handbrake that works on just the rear brake and the footbrake works all 3 wheels, all of which are drums.

 

Its just going to be a right pain to do, as the footbrake works all 3 wheels, or 4 with the twin engine, and the handbrake works on just the rear.
I'd have to somehow alter the footbrake to operate both front brakes (Drums) & 2 Rears (Discs), other problem is that I wanted to stick with an aircooled lump as there isn't really any room for a radiator, tank and all the pipework from a liquid cooled.
