I think both of you been smoking in the tree house again and fell out and hit your heads. You guys and the computer generated bikes. What is the world coming to?

That was way too easy. I have the electric motor on already. Just have to run the wires now and it's ready to go. Tomorrow is supposed to be a good day. If it is, I'm going to ride the bike trail with this lil thing. After that if it runs good, I think I'll sell the other two electic motors with drive wheels on ebay. The start getting the big huffy ready for a motor.

One thing I did this time I have never done before. I hacksawed off a chunk of the rear fender to make room for the electric motor. It actually looks pretty good. I'll try to make a picture tomorrow but I'm moving this bike to the electric section now that it has a motor.

I have been thinking. I bought a 20" bike for the chain ring and crank. Now I think I will convert my big red huffy into a chopper.

Deacon, you've turned into a bike buildier extrordinaire.

NO just bored lol.

I have never had an electric chopper. I think this might be something worth doing just to see how it does. Heck I have everything on hand to do it with. Won't even have to but a thing.

With a chopper you got to have a springer front end...............

well my kind of chopper lol... the transylvania style chopper with an electric motor. Just a pitched back bike.

Talk about a nice bike to ride though... I switched the chain ring for one that is much smaller on the 3speed i just did. Man that thing is so easy to start from a dead stop now it hard to believe. I may find a three speed for my next gas build if i do another one.

I pretty much gave up on the Electro Teddy for now. It just isn't quite what I thought it would be, so I moved on to building the PO-Boy Electric chopper.

I can't really call it a chopper since it misses some of the elements of a true chopper so I'm calling it my Poboy Transylvania Country Electric Hybrid Sorta Chopper. I need a shorter name so if you want you name it. Anyway this is the before shot.

I started with a bike I had already made some changes to but anyway here it is before.

I'm not sure if I want to do a step by step on the paint or not. I'm kinda trying to decide what to do with this bike. I wonder what would be a good frame color? I leaning to psycodelic (sp) orange.

After thought I forgot I wanted to do a modern camo pant job on the next one. Not the old jungle green but the new tan and brown one. This is just not be the best bike for that.
