I think by keeping the tranny I can get the fun starts in the lower gears,
and get better mileage with the taller gears.
To some extent this is true. However the real problem with motorcycle
conversions is fiding the volume to fit things in. A transmission takes up
a lot of valuable space needed for batteries.
I read somewhere of using a CVT from a snowmobile. Has anyone here
looked into it?
