Pooped Cyclists Get “Chicken Power” Bicycle Motor Bill
Martha Clontz reports a North Carolina bill to legalize a seven pound motor that attaches to bicycles, promising up to 18 mph and 100 miles per gallon fuel. Ray Church of Winston-Salem pushes the measure with Sen. Hamilton Horton, noting California and South Carolina usage and California firm backorders. The motor engages with a starter pull, clamps to the front wheel, and can be disabled for pedal power. Modifications include a larger 10 ounce tank and lower muffler placement. Church has tested up to 14 miles on a single engine run and says it helps older cyclists and those on three wheel bikes.
