Hi Red...those are awesome bikes at firebikes.
Those Whizzer's are awesome too, but are they still considered a bicycle?

Alex I think your ultimate bike depends more on your personality than anything else. There are a lot of cookie-cutter designs that can be had but do not reflect a person's personality the way they should...therefore a person will never be truly happy with what they have. There are a lot of custom bike builder's out there as well that can provide you with the ultimate in coolness, but the question is still there...does it match your personality?
Have you ever thought of designing your own bike and hand building it yourself?

These pics are not mine, but I feel obligated to share them anyways. I used to live a few houses away from this guy and he does awesome work...he's also a great inspiration for those of us that dream of the "perfect bike". I tried to put up a few other pics as well but it seems as though they are too large of a file size. I'll try to get in touch with Brad, and see if he would mind a link to his website to be posted on here.




If you can sketch the way you think your dream bike should look, you should be able to build it if you have some time and patience.

I know he said money notwithstanding, but aren't Whizzers around 1700 bucks?

No need for training wheels on those two bikes Chris!

the suspension should be fine for a motorized bicycle fireopal. i have a regular beach cruiser and the only suspension is a suspension seat post. i use my bike for traveling and not on the trails. tire presure plays a big key on the smoothness of your ride

A front fork suspension is a big plus. and good comfortable to you seat is a must. Whizzers are nice bikes but where I live they are considered a motorcycle or at least a moped. So far the H/T engined bikes are considered motor assisted bicycles at least where I live so good luck on what ever you get.

Earlier in this thread you guys were asking about Firebikes. I have a 2007 Morgtician that I would not reccomend putting an engine on. Mine has too much rake for comfortable ridding, there is some wheel flop and it takes every inch of a two lane road to turn it around. I have ridden the Dyno/Kustom Kruiste streach which is as long as mine and they handle sooo much better and I would not be afraid to power one up...Kelly

Here is my Firebike at the Grand Rapids Autorama a couple of weeks ago.

Biker take a look at Lightfoot Cycles. Lightfoot Cycles - The Lightfoot Ranger It is a custom build recumbent shop. I had them build me a Ranger with a Robin/Subaru 1.6 HP engine. Runs through the back 8 speed cassette. Mine has a full fairing. Being from Ohio you could use that in the cold. I can't say enough good about my bike. The most comfortble you could ever find. Fast! The quality is next to none. Good Luck.

Nice, and they use the cassette? So operation is sorta like an automatic but you have to manually select the gear?

That Looks like a hardcore road bike my friend!
