This $100 Kenyan bike engine quickly converts any bicycle to a 100 mpg motorbike. It might not be the most efficient engine, or the cleanest. But as the world develops, simple solutions like these are necessary to make the world a better place for people, without upsetting the balance of the environment.

French was using Solex, it was extremly popular.
The new Solex is out, it's called eSolex and costs about 1200 €, check here : http://www.lesolex.com/esolex.htm
It's a bicycle, with an engine that helps.

Are this easy to fit? Do you need to upgrade your chain & brakes etc? If used in the UK are any other modifications required?

We in North America, with abundant access to the power grid have concentrated on plug in battery electric bikes, but the price of oil is only high enough to cause marginal use of them. If the price of oil increases dramatically, a three wheeled, enclosed, solar/battery plugin, made with a carbon fiber body will emerge as popular for the Americans for going shopping and short commutes, plug in to plug in, so to speak!

Are you kidding me? "simple solutions like these are necessary to make the world a better place for people, without upsetting the balance of the environment"
I don't care about the green movement. You are supposedly green and you think this is good!? This gadget puts out more pollution to putt one man around than my entire van filled with tools and 6 people! You are an idiot if you think this is a good thing for your cause. But, like I said, personally I don't care if it is horribly dirty and pollutes the environment worse than Chevy Blazer, I just want everyone to stop lying to people.
What is the truth? Is it OK for "developing" people to destroy more than the developed? Or are you just dumb?
