What's happenin' guys?

New to the forum and motorized bikes. A buddy of mine had a couple that didn't run and he asked if I could help him out. I was blown away by how simple these bike kits are. I got his 2 bikes running in under 30mins and I was hooked.

Starting my first build today :)

Thanks guys!

Here's a pic of what I'm working with. The 2 on the left are my buddy's bikes. Both, in my opinion are in too bad of shape to ride.



I've tried convinced him to get a new bike without a coaster brake and some better components but he found a really good deal on this bike with a new set of 36spoke wheels for $100. He's tight on cash and these bikes are his only mode of transportation so I'm going to work with him until he can get some better parts.

So looking around it seems a strap from the bottom of the muffler to the kickstand mount is the easiest way to attach the muffler to the frame.

No issues with the muffler cap coming loose like this?

I've already had to weld a new cap on one of his bikes because it kept falling off and he lost it.
