Default Re: new electric hybrid

I think this is a jinx build. The darn thing is British and imported for sears no doubt. Nothing is the right size. I finally got the motor so I'm not kicking it every turn. I put a smaller chain ring on so the low gear is better but it rides like a brick.

On I'm just upset because it isn't working out like i hoped. Man stay away from these light weight frames and skinny wheels they are terribly unstable. I have no idea how those roar racers do it. Every crack in the pavement and I'm off in the wrong direction.

Add to that the whell nut is so large it takes up all the available space for a trailer setup. It's a jinx i tell you.
