Part 5/7:

Just as the project seemed to gain momentum, subsequent test rides revealed flaws. The engine lacked the needed torque, stalling at minimal resistance, a frustrating setback that demanded a rethink of the gearing. After several attempts to adjust sprockets and reduce gearing, the construction of a "speed reducer" was attempted, but this led to overly slow speeds, limiting the motorcycle's performance dreadfully.

Testing and Tweaking

With the mechanics assembled, it was time for the first test ride. Using the assistance of a hill to gain momentum, the motorcycle successfully picked up speed, showcasing the creator’s hard work. However, mechanical failures such as the chain popping off during the descent raised concerns; realigning components became a constant theme in subsequent tests.
