Hello, I am brand new to all of this. I am so new that it is somewhat of a dream at this stage. I am still researching the best fit for myself and motorized biking. So please, any guidance and recomendations are encouraged.
Thanks so much for your information. I am currently looking around at Pirate Cycles and like what I am seeing thus far. I am thinking, that one might as well buy a performance package right out of the gate as he/she will end up modifying in the future. I am definately going to keep an eye on them daily so as to be one of the first. This is so exciting and am looking forward to a hobby that I can experiment with, share results and tips in the future.Welcome to the forum! Here's a little info- 2-stroke engines are usually faster than 4-strokes, and there's a lot of performance parts available for 2-strokes. 4-strokes usually have more torque and low-end power, also more expensive. 4-strokes don't sound as much like a dirt bike. bikeberry.com has a large selection of engines and bike parts. sickbikeparts.com has all the performance parts (i think all for 2-stroke engines) like shift kits and expansion exhaust pipes, for more power. Cruiser-style bikes usually work the best, or bikes with a LOT of space in the middle, and normal size frame tubes(not oversize tubes). Usually older bikes. If the bikes shifts, you won't have to worry about modifying the brake arm that one-speeds usually have. Most people like the Cruiser bikes.
