Be sure to add a front brake to that Huffy! The rear coaster brake can be 'iffy' at times.

Also, make sure that you've re-greased the wheel bearings --- Huffy is notorious for not using enough grease. Otherwise, looks like a nice, clean build!

Happy 'non-pedaling'.............:D

Congratulations, you've done well. That looks like a nice clean build for a first motorized bicycle and should provide you with a lot of miles of riding pleasure.

Keep a watch on the front fender and the brackets that hold it. Fenders are nice but can be a source of serious trouble if they vibrate loose or the mounts fail.
Otherwise, have fun and ride safe.

Exactly. Be sure to check the tightness of all fasteners before riding for the first month........things that you think won't come loose certainly do.
