not knocking it but used to race and never heard of this until cruiser mentioned it and it just seemed so off the wall because if you want a motorcycle you can buy them.... BUT have this bike that i bought after i burned out and sold racing bike that has been sitting for about 9 years (used for about 15 minutes) and am thinking about maybe doing this so i may be first in this area and the first female at that... not to mention - have always wanted a little motorcycle so this seems like it would be kinda close to one and it would also put that bike to good use too because no way it is gonna get ridden with the hill i have to tackle to get home at end of a ride

nice thing about these bikes fireopal is when you want exercise you can peddle just like a regular bicycle. when you got a big hill or just want to cruise a while you just give it the gas. it is the best of both worlds. a motor bicycle and a pedal bicycle

question and keep in mind i haven't read all that much about this just yet and don't see a section on brakes, so do you put different brakes on these bikes or do you go through mega pads b/c if they can get up to 35-40 mph seems like you would burn through normal ones real quick??

average speed people will do is around 25-30. 35-40 is realy winding out the motor. i have one break lever that works both the front and back brake. so far the pads seem to be holding up just as well as they do on a pedal bike
