I really like the way you mounted your seat, I don't see how you did it but it looks great!

Thanks for the friendly comments.

The seat scares me too. The whole bike scares me. I had it welded by a friend I trust. There is a fender, but if it broke the fall would make me wish I was dead. It was a girls bike I found free at a yard sale. I went through it all and will most likely clean it all up next winter. I wanted to ride it for now. Here are the build pics.

Thumbs up Re: first build

Yes, right after the motor starts and and you can easily tuck into it. I rode it as just a bike for a week before the motor came in the mail. It wasn't too bad, but I missed my ten speeds and the bars are two inches lower than I wolud like. Once I get going 10mph or more it feels really good and being that low I can corner much faster. The seat had to be moved to acomidate my legs so I could pedal. In the pick you might notice the motor barley fit. The frame is very tiny but has 26"x1 3/8" wheels. The handelbars and pedals are very thin too. It's all very tight but I got it to work. More to come later.

P.S. I rode it to the local VFW for a riding club fundraiser. Lots of laughs, smiles, and whizzer stories.
