What Do You Do With Your Old Unused Conventional Bikes?

[Viking1]

I still have my old Dekra shaftie. I still use it some and found an old new old stock speedometer to complete the retro feel.

I still have my old Dekra shaftie.

I had to Google that,..

That would make a Really Cool Conversion !!!

It might be tricky to connect some sort of motor to the driveline though?

It would be nice to to have a chainless DD connection somehow.
Maybe a direct geared connection to the bottom bracket?

I had a shaft-drive motorcycle, so there should be some way to do it.

The shaft driven bicycle is an 1880 innovation. It made rear-wheel drive possible because chains weren't yet good enough for bicycles. Shaft drives faded not long after 1900 because chains were more efficient than the gears used then.
