Can the engine be disengaged, allowing the the bike to be pedaled without the engine running sunc as downhill?

yes it can be disengaged but turning it off would be a challenge because of where the stop switch is on the engine.

Yes, but it is a pain. Please don't waste your money. This bike kit is on a shelf in my garage. The best kit I've found is a friction kit by Staton-inc. Well built, good price, good service. I've got two of theirs, a 2 cycle and a 4 cycle and love both of them. I've had/have 6 engine kits and these are by far among the best.

Unfortunately No. The unit is designed for the handlebars to be stationary. Don't worry though Joy, Its a great unit. Good Luck!

No. The handle bars are directly connected to the pedal motion. You don't have to use the handles though, you can just pedal and be hands free but your handle bars will be moving.

As long as the bike has a kickstand or something stable keep it upright, you can operate it alone

Yes, it can be used without the pedal. I've never even bothered with the foot pedal. I hope this helps!

Yes, it is fairly easy to get your bike off the trainer and go out, maybe a 3-5 minute affair. The rear hub gets squeezed in place and held on the trainer so once that's loosened the bike can drop down. From there, remove the clamp for the adjustable tensioner from your handle bars (or where ever you chose to attach it) and you're good to go!

Maybe, but I wouldn't recommend it because of the possibility of electrical surge when jumping a battery. Could burn up the harness and some of the electrical wiring to the bike.

Just leave it at the lowest level of resistance... It's the same as pedaling backwards on a bike... Virtually a free spin with no resistance.

Doesnt seem any easier to actually break up compared to most bikes. The easiest thing to disconnect would be the seat and maybe the front wheel. I almost had my seat stolen once. After that I made a point to run the chain through the seat when I locked it up.

There is a plug that will release if pulled with a moderate force. I have gotten off my bike, forgot to unplug the cord, went to walk away and the plug came apart. However, I have adjusted and lubricated the plug for easy separation just for such an event.

YES!! Definitely. This was omitted/outlawed from some races because it is said that it is too fast. I love mine. It is an AWSUM BIKE.

Yes, it can as they supply the necessary part to use on a bike without quick-release, but I don't know how easy it is to set up as I have quick-release. You may want to contact the supplier.

I don't see why not, although the more the bike weighs the faster you will use up the batteries so you might get shorter travel distance. I ran the bike uphill WITHOUT any assistance & the motor has plenty of power .

Yes. Applying manual disconnection is only possible when the ignition is off

Once you stop peddling, and leave the bike it times out and turns off. Also if you choose a program by mistake and can't clear it just let it time out... Enjoy and happy riding... ~ Kathleen

This thing has plenty of torque and speed for such an application. You will need to rig up a chain drive. Of course, you can probably try and take off the sprocket with a heat gun. I have never tried this though.

Not to my knowledge. When I assembled the bike, there was a tension cord that I had to connect.
