    Motor-powered pushbike. Question.

    While surfing trademe i came across a 80cc 2 stroke engine that you could bolt on to your bike. Achieving a top speed of 70km/h as long as you were prepared to pedal, i assume quite hard. Would you have to warrant and register your new "motorbike"?

    it's moped only if it's under 2kw and under 50cc also must be restricted to 50km/hr

    so no, it will be a motorbike and good luck certifying that and getting a rego for it....
    I have deep pockets. It's just that it's a deep empty pocket...........

    Kind of defeats the purpose of a pushy.

    Go one better and aquire a turbine and use that to power your bike. You will be the envy of all your mates.

    loal, I've seen all those little bike/scooter/moped things on there... I was thinking of getting a scooting mobile or something, but I've been discouraged... I'm now looking for a street magic just to zoom round the shore on heh... anyone know where I could get one reasonably cheaply???
