DrivetrainThe drive systems are derived from mostly bicycle related parts and concepts. There are two BMX style freewheels to allow pedaling without driving the motor and motoring without forcing the pedals to rotate. The BMX chains employed here are strong and up to the task of propelling this bike reliably.

UPDATE: The drive systems are always being changed. Check out the website to see my latest version.
