i was going to get a old stingray, or a newer version. i don't know. i really dont want
to waste my mongoose, but i might have to. i also a have a moto bike ( http://www.genesbmx.com/X-Games-BMX-Motobike.jpg). i thought i could replace the back disc brake with a sprocket. |

Yeah once again, pain doing an in body motor. It would have to go above the back tire, you could set it up for the front tire to, but in my eyes that is ugly as h.e. double hockey sticks. If I were you I would build a full suspension in body bike using bits and pieces of both bikes. That is just what I would do though, not really what I'm advising you to do. |

Weekend fun-
Don't post any more of that crap from YouTube...if it's not about motorized bikes, it doesn't belong here.

What type of motor are you wanting to put on it? A small chainsaw may be able to fit in the body, but there would be some serious mods most likely. |

I would basicaly build a small dirtbike with it, try to save the plastics and stuff for astetics but basicaly build your own frame. |

the older one. But i found a occ for 50$ ( Schwinn Stingray chopper bicycle
and OCC STINGRAY BIKE FOR CHEAP!!!!). I took the back tire off the moto bike, and realized that there are two bars that you slide the wheel in. it thought i could use a old tire from my 'goose and make it a trike. maybe it too, would require serouis mods. but i think not. it might be dangours too.
here are pics of my workshop (lame), the bikes, and my wheels ( one needs a tube+take off pegs) |
