Default electric reverse

Has anyone got details of the starter motor reverse system talked about for bike engined cars?

I used one from Lynx on an R1 Engine, see http://www.lynxae.co.uk/Products-Bikesports.htm

Works quite well but you will need to fabricate all your own brackets

I used a bike starter motor with a matching sprockety thing made in plastic just in case it decided to go into reverse without me knowing about it....
