new intro from NEPA

sorry I had to redo my intro because of links that were attached

I have been getting so many many ideas from this site , that I felt it was time to say hello and make an intro before I posted any where else first.

I accidentally was googling for "bicycles with motors" and my first site was bikeberry and I have been hooked on these projects ever since that day (about a month now) LOL

Well i ordered a nice 80 cc kit from them and was as excited as a 5 year old at Christmas when the package arrived. After I opened it though and looked at the "directions" which were no more than a parts list I about thought i was threw trying to figure this motor kit out. But I am very mechanically inclined and also a professional welder so i knew if I could not mount it I would weld that sucker into place !!

But I went back inside to my old friend Google and found a few video tutorials and then I located this site in the process, and my life has been made complete to realize there are so many like minded adults who like to build Motor bikes. I never knew this as i thought motors and bicycles never went together *silly thinking i know* and to be honest since I was a boy and had a paper route I have always dreamed of marring a motor with a bicycle !! Im so impressed of the amount of MB knowledge there is here and elsewhere on the web.

Thanks for reading my intro, I hope to become a biigger part of Motor Biking in the future, My 2nd motor is on the way as the wife needs one now also.

here is a pic of first build 7 hours and alot of tweeking but she works great

Oops I guess the site requires a few posts before I can show you my ride*sighs* I will wait it out ................I apologize about the other intro, didnt know I had posted a link inside the message also. Admin please delete my other intro

first time the engine started the chain broke, but i got a new link that was the wrong length but made it work by adding link spacers to it

Bump !! I messed up my intro and no one saw it

NEPA means North east Pennsylvania

Wow I feel like i got a horn on my head and everyone is avoiding me like the plague

guess I will just say hi to myself *waves and says hi to self*

I'm in the poconos, what you got looks sweet. I just got my kit and bike and kinda started. I'm trying to work out the coaster brake I have and getting all to work. you are not alone!

woot , yay finally someone said hello to me

My second motor has arrived and when I get home I plan on building another one for the wife.Its kinda boring riding alone.

Yea where we both live , brakes are a must so many hills in the pocono's . thats why I have never really wanted to ride a bike without a motor , way to much of a work out . You any where near Hamlin ?

Welcome to the forum, glad you joined us. That is one sweet ride!

Don't know, I'm in Albrightsville, just outside of Jim Thorpe. What kind of sprocket you using for our mountinous terrain? Right now I'm going with the 44tooth that came with the kit, but I'm a big guy and am thinking I'll have to step up to the 48 or even 50 tooth.

Hey! You have one of those cool seats. Are they alot more comfortable?
