Smoke is good, its a 2 stroke :)and yea still to loud. But loud = safe. People hear you coming with noise.

Not like those electric cars and scooters getting popular now, they are lethal.

And good job.

thanks but my neighbors get mad when it is that loud and i want to drive it to school in the mornings

We made our own mufflers on big RC 2 strokes, General rule of thumb, the diameter of the outlet hole, will be made using say 3/16 drillbit in several holes.

So say its a 20mm hole, then you can block it off and drill 10, 2mm holes. Then it wont destroy the tuned pipe. but give a muffled sound.

the outlet hole is a rectangle

Br careful, theres no regulations on motorized bike so if the wrong cop gets you you might get in trouble. Its why i havent made one yet cause the last thing i need is a ticket before i get my truck lol.

it does not require a licence if it is under 50cc and so i got a 49cc at least for me in new orleans

Do the laws say anything about moped registration? That is ticketable too.

Like here you need a licence to drive moped, so i was gonna make a bike. Then i researched about similar m-bike users here in PA and i heard stories of people getting tickets for not having a licence and operating a motor vehicle and/ or not having a registered vehicle.

And even if its legal there will be the odd chance the wrong cop will see you.and get you.

Not trying to deter you just wanna make sure you dont get burned.
