Hi everyone,
Here's a snap of one of XYZ's beach cruisers.......does anyone think it'll make a good build with ease of installation?

Thanks,
Salty

i think it's pretty ugly. dunno how good the motor would fit.

but, the way the top tube(s) are, it looks like the stock peanut tank would fit right in there, and it wouldn't look like you're carrying around a black football on top of your frame, like they normally do.

it might. i'm just not into the frame style that much. the seat tube looks really high. but then again, i'm only 5'7".

it's all up to you. if you like it, and the motor fits, buy it.

Only problem with * if the motor fits*...is there's no way to tell beforehand....I'm an even 6 feet....maybe more room for my jewels than you . but the seat CAN be adjusted.....

Thanks,

I was checking out there stretch cruisers a while back, they seem pretty sturdy... but then again that is basing off of the pics (tubes look over sized, forks look strong). Salty that bike would look sweet with a gas tank on it, I had a heck of a time with my coaster arm clearing the sprocket bolts... I will probably never again do a beach cruiser build with coaster brakes haha.

Fair warning !......I just think it's a cool looking bike and they also build one that's all flat black.....catch22 aint it ?...no one so far has any experience with these bikes....but for the price I'm thinking it may very well be worth a shot.....should be a simple build......

Thanks,
Salty

It looks like it will be a tight fit. Just guessing but I would plan on having to use a custom intake so that the carb can be mounted to the side a bit. A custom front motor mount will also be required but that is normal.
