I stole a wheelchair from some homeless chick and I would like to swap it from electric to gas powered with either pull-start, or push-button start. What would be an ideal motor for such a project? I am looking at 2 strokes from wrecked bikes and small engine shops. I have TIG welded some wheelie bars I made at work and am putting a strut system for the back wheels. Anyone have experience with this? I want the next cripple who gets my wheelchair to have some attitude in this thing.
As long as you are goiing to put a gas engine on it why not do it up right? Place the engine on the rear (you will have to build the frame). Install a small 4 cyl turbo engine sideways. You will have to build a shaft from one wheel to the other then bolt on chain pullys to the crank shaft & the axle. Install the chain. If he or she doesn't get an attitude from the start ,they will from the stop.
Well the next cripple who gets your wheelchair will not be able to go in stores.I'm one of those cripples that like electric wheelchairs, we get 25 Miles. with on gas smell. You are going to get a lawsuit with gas on a wheelchair.
