I wanna do a project with my friend...we got a chainsaw motor, and here are 2 ideas i got:
1) A motorized bike
2) A lil quad...but just a metal base, pretty lil wheels,a seat and home-made forks...that's it...

If you have other ideas of what I can do with a chainsaw motor, put them on here, please! :)

Thanks

If you really want to do some custom fab work, make a huge radio controlled three wheeler. Fab a frame and find some super strong servos and enjoy.

I have had that idea for a long time also...I was just wondering if that little motor would have enough power to haul me around? Not that I'm fat or anything lol..

mount it to the front wheel of a bicycle with a skateboard/rollerskate wheel mounted where the clutch goes
then hang on for a fun ride

i have done this with a ols craftsman saw (found in garbage bar was bent to hell)

use a hinge type mount the weight of the motor will hold it aginst the wheel on the bike

Martin, this guy from newcastle that i know has a chainsaw powered bike. He says it gets along good. His user name on this is "mart". His bike is called "the dush".
