Re: Attaching Mini-Bike motor to stock banebot gearboxes!

Hello,

IFI sells a Mini-Bike motor mounting kit that could be pretty easily adapted to mount to the Banebots 12:1 gearbox.

after that all you will need to do is fix the Pinion gear to the mini-bike shaft which isn't bad because it is the same size as on the small CIM (which the banebots box is designed to interface with). I recommend either using loctite to fix the gear on or if you are brave cutting a keyway into the shaft and then using a key along with loctite.

we thought about doing this and got as far as keying the pinion to the sahft before we got scared off for weight reasons.

Good luck!
