this is a prototype using the minibike motor to drive 2 aluminum wheels coated with friction tape. The vast majority of the inconsistancy is due to the feed mechanism. There are, however some belt slippage issues, which were responsible for the rest of it.
looks cool!

I have some questions i hope you wont mind answering:
1)what is the gear reduction bwetween the motor and the wheels.
2)how did you connect the motor to frame?
3)how did you transfer the power? (belt/ chain)
4)if belt, as implied by post, where did you get the matching parts? (i.e. the belt and the other belt compatible sprocket)
5)are both wheels moving?

hope that's not too intrusive!
Thanks!
