Hey everyone,
I came across this while surfin' for a possible new build and was wondering if it would be feasible and if these China Girls would have enough power to be applicable...any thoughts ?

Thanks,
Salty

Looks a lil tight. I couldn't find frame size on their web site. But Man! Would make a cool MB.

I doubt a chinagirl would have a problem moving it, if one could fit.

Salty,
If all else fails you could go into the portable ironing board business. Sorry, just kiddin'. I would say a 2 stroke could be adapted to that bike but the concern would be how much weight you plan to haul. If you just want a different platform for a build, you'd have it but not sure how much extra weight you'd be able to carry. With that said I do recall seeing several of the members saying they weigh well in excess of 200lbs. That's a good load for a little motor but obviously, geared right, they can handle it. Keep us informed. I'm curious about that front hub. Is that an electric hub or just big brakes?

Looks like an electric hub since the bike already has a front caliper brake......if you google the bike for images you'll see all kinds of stuff people carry on 'em.....I just think it'd be an awesome grocery getter.....or take a couple girls out on....LOL !

Laters,
