Looking at the high gas prices, I’ve decided to build my own motorize bike, turning my bike into a moped. Why build my own? Price is of course a factor, but there is also some pride in building my own.

Tools to build your own motorzied Bike
1. Buy a kit: There are plenty of motorized Bike kits out there on eBay that will get the job done. Try this kit or just look on ebay for Motorized Bike Kit. There usually run about $200.
2. Buy a Chainsaw and build you own custom motorized bike: Try to get a chainsaw between 40 and 50cc (so you won’t need pay insurance). Try watching this 3 part series about how to build your own.

After completion you’ll have a bike that gets even 150 miles per gallon and if you run out of gas, you could always pedal the rest of the way. All in all it’s a great way to turn your cheap bike into a fast mode of transportation.
