The 'Pigeonator'

The idea to motorize a bicycle came from my visit back home to Melbourne last Xmas.  I saw a guy in Fitzroy getting around on a cool custom bicycle - with a single cylinder engine.

As soon as I returned to Singapore, I purchased an engine kit from China. I wanted something a little different, and realized I was surrounded by vintage roadster-style bicycles.

I managed to buy one from an old man, and the disassembly began. With the addition of custom designed twin petrol tanks - the 'Pigeonator' was born.  A Chinese-inspired hot-rod/throw-back to the early motorcycles of the 1900's.
