Villiers Velo Racer


kicker

Recommended Posts

Finally made a start on my proper drome racer.

It's gonna be boardtrack style (again :rolleyes: ) but based on bmx's/20" wheels with a Villiers from an Atco reel mower

Frame design, needed to work out the angles and if everything will fit. I want to use the Atco tank in between the rails but need to accomodate the filler and the tap underneath, it'll be tight but hopefully will fit.

Plans for drive train is to run a belt from the crank to a jackshaft, the clutch will be a lever tensioning this belt, then another belt from the jackshaft to a second 20" rim mounted to the rear wheel. Hoping for a reduction of around 11:1 which these motors seem to prefer.

Need to go buy some steel now

Tank and crossbar, I left out the second crossbar as the plug and fuel tap were gonna be too close and I couldn't be fucked trying to make something fit

Welded and built up, need to find some smaller bars and get drive train sorted

Cheers for the comments guys

For brakes I'll probably use the existing coaster brake, here's an mspaint diagram

but that may not work depending on how the rear wheel is driven, alternate solution is to use the above idea but adapt it and use a coaster brake on the front wheel and have the chain running to a handle bar lever

All good Manu, we need more poo-strokes stinking up the track
