CVT for the spree

[ScootScoot]

hello all. i have had a spree since spring. i have notice that because of the lack of a transmission, our scooter has trouble making it up from a standing start. i am a student of engineering and with some of my free time have been thinking about engineering and building a CVT transmission for the honda spree.

I have i few questions for all of you:

1. are any of you interested in having a CVT on your spree?
2. if so, what criteria must it pass/have?
3. what would you be willing to pay for one?


P.S. It will be a true bolt on modification (no cutting of body or shaving for clearance) just take some parts off, and put others on.

why is there a same exact tread here?http://hondaspree.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4084

this is the same thread because i figured that some people might not be looking at the performance thread, but still be interested in a bolt on cvt kit. yes, this idea is a performance issue, but i am trying to get the most accurate idea of demand, and criteria possible; thus the poll is here as well- the poll/question however is not in the basic technical because that forum is just for repairs and stuff.

i cant beleive that made since

Price and ease of installation would be a factor. Although i think i might just get a faster scoot and sell my spree. It's been good to me but its old and slow.

As nice idea as it is, I doubt it would catch on. And I feel the conversion would cost quite a bit. But I'm all for custom creations and I say you do this! Prove me wrong hehe
