![]() Hi all,
This is my first post so bear with me!!! I'm still in the planning stages of my build, just finishing off the "Build your own off road buggy" project. So i think i've got a few things sorted in my mind and definatly (I think) want to go down the bike engine route. So I was just wondering if anyone has got any info on electronic shifting systems. Obviously bike engines are already semi automatic but i'm trying to find a kit that will automatically disengage the clutch electronically and change gear, therefore doing away with me operating clutch pedal. I don't even know if such a kit exists but thought i better ask the question. Hope someone can help, Luke. |

![]() Hi Luke,
There's a lot of information about shifters in the BEC pages of locostbuilders http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?fid=23 between the two sites, there's no questions that can't be answered. Kind regards John

![]() If you are going that far get one of
these. They take a little getting used to but are the way forward. IMHO Cheers Ginge

![]() It may be worth seeing if you can drive a BEC first to see if you still think you do/don't need one. It may turn out to be a lot of expense for little gain if you only plan on using it on the road (IMHO)

![]() if you buy this months complete kitcar magazine there is a big fat section in the middle about bike engines. think there is going to be a second part to it at some point too.
