I am selling my bike with a 35cc 4-stroke engine on it.  
or  
just the engine and kit to put on your own bike.

150-200mpg  
30mph cruise  
35cc 1.6hp Robin-Subaru engine  
kit weighs 15lbs

It is friction drive. A 1" roller sits on the rear wheel to power it.  
It has a kill switch mounted on the handlebars and a pull throttle on the handle.

I rode it all summer and loved it. I even took it down to alleghany and back on monday. (from East aurora) It took me 2.5 hours and 1 gal gas.

With bike: $500 OBO

Just engine kit: $360

I bought the kit in the beginning of summer. The bike is years old.

The bike is a Giant rincon with aluminum frame. I also put maxxis overdrive hybrid tires on it when I installed the motor kit.

I am really just trying to sell the motor kit, but if someone wants the bike with it I will sell it as well.

The only reason for sale is I am getting a motorcycle and this will be pointless to have then.

I almost forgot. Included in the price is a spare 20oz fuel tank that goes in the water bottle holder. It is a fuel tank from EMS.

The gas tank on the motor hold enough to get you over 20 miles.

There is a centrical clutch, so the motor stays running when you stop.

Oil has been changed on a regular basis and it starts up within two pulls every single time.

it is only illegal in NYS actually…BUT I have passed at least 30 cops this summer and most of them have given me the thumbs up.

And it is not extremely illegal. Shooting someone who you don’t like is extremely illegal. This is more like a cop in a crappy mood tells you to stop riding it illegal. But that has not happened to me and I rode it every single day this summer.

I am lowering the price to $300 for the whole kit and $350 with the bike and spare fuel bottle. I just don’t need it anymore and I already payed for it with gas savings over the summer three times over.

really? are you going to come and arrest me? Put me in jail?

I am so sick of how damn ridiculous this country has become with unlimited laws making every single thing illegal by some technicality. Especially NYS. Because most other states dont give a fuck if you power your bike with a motor and dont make you register and insure it.

So NYS and that law can go fuck itself. If I got arrested I would take it to court and site my constitutional right to travel.

You know, its funny, I don’t see plates on handicap peoples electric wheel chairs. Maybe they should get more than a ticket.

True but the only thing going for him is that it is a bicycle. It is a motor vehicle once you bolt an engine on it but the cop would have to be in a major bad mood to write you up for it.
