i was on on a motorized bicycle i finished building yesterday, it was on the road, and the bike all of a sudden seized up lockin up the rear and it slid out on me, and catapulted me off the bike, im pissed tho, theres a dent in my gas tank, the tranny is seased, the ignition coil broke and the rear wheel has broken spokes, a popped tire, and twisted rim, the front sprocket wont budge at all, what should i do? btw, i got a concussion wearing a helmit and i have scrapes all over my body, it burns!

Maybe a chain malfunction?

Sounds like a chain issue. Our clutches aren't strong enough to handle a tranny seizure and they would surely slip. Glad to see you didn't kill yourself.

Yes I agree with donuts. I have had my chain and come off the primary sprocket and wedge inside of the cover.When that happens the tyre Locks up tight.

ok, you were right, 4 links were twisted into the sprocket cover, had to grind them out, and i got a new chain from tractor supply, and waiting for a cdi off of ebay.

I had that happen a couple of times before I got that rear set up right. Sorry to hear it was that bad.

Man That Hurts, I Hope You Did Not Crush Any Of The Nuts On The Gas Tank Or Fork Stem. THAT MAKES A PULL START AND A FREEWHEEL SOUND LIKE A GOOD INVESTMENT!! OR THE SHIFT KIT, THAT WOULD FREE WHEEL ALSO. Ron
