Why would you wait until 2008 for a 2-stroke engine for a bike when you can get a brushless hub motor for a bike that goes fast, far, and uses no gasoline RIGHT NOW.
Google the Phoenix Hub Motor, and remember to wear a helmet. Bicycles aren't easy to control when they go over 30 miles per hour (and it's technically illegal). If 20 mph is enough, then look into the RoadRunner hub motor kit.
Don't waste your time with gas engines for a bicycle. If you're going to use gas, then just buy a scooter. `Better integration, better chance of the frame holding up under the torque, and better speed (thus better value for your gas dollar).
I'd stick with electric, though. It's easier to deal with, lighter, and can be stored indoors without risk.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
