    lets us know if it works when you drive it off a cliff!

  • chad

    Yes

    Step 1: Take a hit of acid

    Step 2: wait about 45 min

    Wallah you dirtbike is now a airplane. Happy Flying!

    Yes, I think you can. Just mount some ultralight wings over the bike seat and mount a propeller right behind the dirt bike.

    Not without a case of beer in your system you can’t.

    i’m pretty sure it wouldnt be powerful enough… usually ultralight air craft engines are very like purpose made engines.. they cost a little more but they are lighter then your typical engine on your dirt bike..
    im not sure on the final weight with passengers and cargo but i seem to remember 15 hp is like the smallest you can go… a para motor maybe your cheapest option to get into the air… and it doesnt take up a garage…

    something of interest for you, the myth buster did a mcguver myth episode. i seem to remember it was a 10 hp engine on a ultralight… you may want to look it up.. im sure there is good info in it for you

    Dirt bike engines have been used on ultralights, 80-125cc bike engines have been used on powered paragliders, but the rest of the bike except maybe the wheels would be useless for an airplane.

    Yup, i just converted my bicycle to SR71 blackbird, imagine what great possibilities lay before you with your 70cc dirt bike.
