I also suggest a cruiser style bike for motorizing. And I agree that front and rear brakes are important.
What kind of bike would you recommend?

Spend a little extra money, get yourself a decent mountain bike, and buy a shift kit. The results are night and day, and for a few hundred dollars more you will have a decent bike instead of a rattling toy.
1973 Schwinn Suburban baby, some problems but it oozes class, and I live with lots of hills and gravel so I will be pedaling and 10speeds are just fine, it's not finished yet I need a half link for the chain.
Sweeet. Love the old Schwinns. My fantasy bike; Felt Bicycles 2008
(have to make a special mounting for a 4 smoke)

Man, wish you was closer John-John! (so we could race bar stools or coffee cups) I have a picture of the MP by the door to my office and a green Kulana with a 2 smoke on her. The "Electric avocado" as my wife calls her is awesome! Has held up well and great fit for 2 smokes! Carol's Mom wrecked Carol's car then my fancy high end car died (the $75 radiator needs a grand for parts) and am on her to get to work. awesome bike.
OH! my front fender failed on the moondawg after 2 yrs. Good 'ol crash. Check your fenders. Got good and hurt. "L" bracket failed.

OH! please let me know where you can find springers for the MoonDog. Commuting threw Hartford is not fun w/out suspension!

LOLOLOL. "Green apple dumpling Gang" spit beer on that one. funny. way, way off topic ( I know) was at last years East coast rally. Was all Whizzers and 4 stokes. As I rode back from lunch on a Point Beach/2 smoke holding the gas tank up with my knee, I was singing at the top of my lungs (the guts to my muffler had fallen out and drowned me out) "Born to be mild!"
there was rum involved
Good song funny stuff....Ok im on my girlfriends computer,here is the link for the forks:
26" Classic Spring Fork, Chrome
If you look around on there site they have bunch of other cool stuff,its basically a lowrider site but has lots of good parts....
