Hello everybody my name is Michael Hoyt Williamson and I'm looking for advice on adding a gas motor to my 3-man quad / side by side Mardi gras trike/float. I'm not looking for speed, I got a lot of weight to move. When we are loaded with beads, people and booze I've got a thousand pounds to move and my day of pedaling this thing is about over. I'm not for sure what would be best, but this is what I'm thinking, either a Predator 212 or a Tillotson 212. I will be using a hub sprocket on a 26-inch bicycle wheel with 12-gauge spokes. The parade route is about 3 miles and a half mile of it is uphill. It's a parade, I'm not going fast and I'm doing a lot of stop and go driving. I'm not for sure what's best on gear size front and back. Any of you that have any advice or expertise on building wild motorized vehicles I would love to hear from you. The Pensacola Grand Mardi Gras Parade is March 1, 2025,
and need this bike up and running.
