How can I attach a leaf blower some other kind of cheap simple motor to my mountain bike?

Beast@Life asked:


I have a mountain bike. I don't know too much about bikes, but I know enough about engines and motors. Really I'm just doing this to save money on gas to the beach and back this summer. Can anyone give me a link to a website with clear-cut directions on how to do it?

  1. No can do – Pedals are made for feet with muscled legs attached to it – so there’s your source of energy…

  2. Jury rig a 3/4 inch shaft onto the engine output. Convert the driven tire to a smoothie, and swing/friction/couple the driving shaft onto the tire. Adjust the 3/4 inch figure to get higher or lower speed vs. torque.
