Thanks for sharing, gokart. Looks like you've built a winner. If it suits you, then it is a winner. Nice work.
Have fun and ride safe.

Thanks Tom,
This Nirve was my first bike with a motor on it. Then I built the Red Baron (attached Picture), and then came back to this Nirve, with the top tube converted to gas tank. And it also has an Nexus automatic 3 speed, which helps when pedaling without motor assist.

Love the Red Baron. Just a suggestion but you could repaint the Nirve in British WW1 colors. Then you'd have a matching set

Thanks again for sharing your work with us. I admire your attention to detail.

They're both fine looking machines.

I suppose I might be liking the Red Baron best. But the Nirve is also very nice.

Nice builds.
They look great .
What fork did you end up running on the Nirve ?

I bought Suntour shock Type forks from runnermike.
Those are much safer than the springer type, for motorized bikes...IMO

Beautiful builds.

In frame tanks let the bike show...
but how inconvenient is the small tank?

It holds what, a couple cups, ~.25 gallon?
So roughly a 20 mile real life range?

I wanted to do the same thing on the Fito and when I tested volume it was barley 2 cups so just not worth it to me.

For the short daily commuter cool bikes thogh, very cool ;-}
