Hello everyone! I've been playing around with the idea and researching motorized bicycles for the last week and have a good number of questions that I haven't really been able to answer myself from forum digging and google searches.
So I have been riding a bike as my primary transportation for over a year now and recently came across a Rockhopper for $20 so have been using that as my new daily rider. However I would really like to motorize my Schwinn because otherwise I'm just not going to get any use out of it. My goal would is to be able to visit my parents 18 miles away on nice weekends that I don't have anything else going on.
My main concern is the down tube on the Schwinn Varsity 1200, that defiantly originally came from Walmart, is not completely cylindrical. Also diving into kits and parts I don't even really know where to start. I want to use this bike as opposed to the Rockhopper because I'd like to have one motorized and one pedal only and the Rockhopper is friendlier to ride where I live.
Thank you for any help you could give me in advance! I'm really excited about this and want to make it happen!
