Reverse gear mod on bikes

[cougar]

I am contemplating the idea of reverse gears, but knowing sg's pathetic auto engineering industry,i know its hard to do here. But there is a solution other than gear box replacement, goldwings actually rigged the starter motor to reverse the bike while in neutral. So got any bike or auto shops that are competent in this aspect?

Bro, can try the 3 wheel PGO tr03. it has reverse gear too.

I know pgo tr3, but existing bikes also can install. Reverse gear i only need to salvage those electric bicycles motors, figure a way to rigged up a chain and spocket to my shaft drive rear wheel disc brake side, as long as remove the spacer for the spocket, but dont know got enough space or not. The bicycle motor can put under seat compartment, just nice, near to the battery somemore. But the chain and sprocket setup will be headache, dont know how to link up. Because most transmission have to via the swing arm, which underseat for the motor is far off, unless use kevlar belt drive?

If i succeed in fixing on this reverse gear motor, i definitely gona install a side-car for my bike's next 10 years coe.

 

The real world solution, a custom make gear box just for bikes,

The suggested alternative solution, electric drive to reverse the gear, via belt drive to the gear cog. But mine is shaft, haiz, have to open this gear box and link to rear wheel.
