thanks it sure looks better with that short rear wheel, but best of all it's perfectly stable. I let it die today by accident on a hill. I had to pedal start it up hill in traffic and it was dead stable. I could not have asked for it to perform better. The engine doesn't seem to be very strong but that's okay it climbed almost all the nasty hills under it's own power. I helped on two but I didn't really have to. I could barely catch up with the engine.
